Thinking of it as *just a TV show*, it'd be a little complicated if Dan Schneider had to have a mom and dad in the show at all times. Like in Victorious, they show Tori and Trina's parents living together with them but they're rarely shown on screen, and they don't show any of the others' parents on-screen except Andre's grandmother if you count that.

Back on topic, I agree with @SeddieCherry; something probably happened to their parents when they were very young. And about Freddie, did you notice that in iFence his mom was talking about 'the fencin' bensons' and how her *dad* was a part of it and made her become obsessed as well? I don't know if Dan Schneider thought about this or not, but that would mean that Freddie's mom was always a Benson, so she would never have been married and Freddie would never had had a mother in the first place.
