Just as we cannot choose the genes with which we are born, we cannot change the actions or Karma for whatever our parents did, both good and bad. There are times when children have to answer or face the consequences for their parents' deeds. It is like an Agni Pariksha they have to give to prove their own self worth or mettle.
