Rob's post about genetic factors influencing the parents built in desire to protect their young is more accurate than he knows. I can't find the reference at the moment, but there have been multiple studies that show that a crying child triggers a hormonal response in many adult brains that cause the adult to be concerned and sympathetic with the child, in the parents brain, the hormonal response is virtually overwhelming. I'll look for that reference when I get a chance.
Found a couple of references, not the specific one that I was looking for though, but you get the picture.
