If a child continuously behaves badly, who really is to blame. The child or the parents of the child or both?

Michelle is right, certain parenting methods should be kept inside the home or away from the general public so that they do not become a disturbance or disrespectful. This part of the process is the parents' responsibility as is making certain that the child understands their boundaries. The child's responsibility is to do as they are told and be respectful. If the child has not had boundaries drawn and does not know what is expected of them, then the parents are at fault, no doubt.

No one can mold a child. There simply isn't a magic formula. The best we can do is live our own lives with honesty and respect to teach them through example and allow them to explore their own worlds within those same simple guidelines.

If a child is allowed to do whatever they please then they will do so.
A child needs to have borders to keep within but also to test. As they grow older, they will test the borders and their parent will decide whether to let them exceed previous limits or not.
Of course, over the years, old borders will be discarded and new ones created (eg. alcohol, sexual contact, driving).
All of the above is brought together and helps them become a better, more in control person.

Having had two kids now, both older, I've learned it's not always the parent's fault, even when you do everything right with them.
However, I do think the parent is responsible for ensuring their child's behavior doesn't inconvenience or bother someone else. For example, it might be the parent's parenting method to let their child cry it out, but if it's inside a movie theatre, there's a moral obligation to remove the child to the lobby or bathroom and let them cry it out in there, and not ruin the movie for everyone.
There's a line that should be tempered between freedom to parent and infringing on other people, and as a parent, I've walked that line. It's only respectful to prevent your children from bothering other people or other people's things.
