What happens to citizen children if their parents are deported on arrival?

As I understand it, parents decide where their children stay and go, and the parents have a legal responsibility under family law to provide for their children. So it’s not that the children are “sent back” by the government, but rather that the parents will choose to take their children back with them as the only way for them to fulfill their obligation to provide for their children.
An alternative would be if the parents can arrange for someone else in the US who will come and pick up their children from the airport, and who will provide for the children in the US in the parents’ absence, that would be okay too.
But if the parents simply refuse to take the children with them when they are deported, and also do not arrange for anyone to take care of the children in the US, then the parents have effectively “abandoned” their children, in which case the local authorities and family courts will terminate the parents’ parental rights and take custody of the children.
