Comment:

 I see everyone's points about the various possible behaviors, but why not
 take a page from threaded forums who've been doing this way longer than us
 -- if parent trashed, spammed, deleted, replace it on the page with a
 placeholder that says it has been removed by an administrator/the site
 owner. Then the children still show appropriate hierarchy and if there are
 references to missing parent it will be clear there's something missing
 and you're not an idiot for not understanding a child comment, and the
 admin doesn't have to go through the bother of re-approving everything.
