There are two problems with the use of the word "there" in this post. First, the antecedent for the word is "parent." Parent is singular, meaning that the pronoun used in its place should also be singular. Second, the speaker intends to use the gender neutral (but plural) word "their." In place of "there" the speaker should have used "his" or "her." Better yet, is the option to change "parent" to "parents." Then, "their" will work.
