Catches parents entangled (7)
I believe the answer is:
entraps
'catches' is the definition.
(entrapping is a kind of catching)
'parents entangled' is the wordplay.
'entangled' indicates an anagram.
'parents' is an anagram of 'ENTRAPS'.
(Other definitions for entraps that I've seen before include "Catches" , "nets" , "frames" , "Takes" .)
