Yup moral failing of their parents to say God says this kid gets to rule you.
What the revolutionaries did is the only logical conclusion to the system the Romanov set up.
They reaped what they sowed.
Morals didn't come into it. They had already abdicated the throne and were in custody of Kerensky's provisional government before the bolsheviks took power. And the bolsheviks didn't kill them because of the moral failing of monarchism, but because they were worried about losing that custody to the white army. The decision was entirely strategic, rather than being intended as an ideological blow to some perceived moral failing.
I don't mean this as an "own" but as an accurate recounting of the reasoning that went into the decision.
