The parents of v are the all the vertices u such that u,v is in the directed edge set of the MixedGraph G. So the parents of a vertex v are exactly those vertices of the largest digraph component of a mixed graph that point to v.
i1 : G = mixedGraph(graph{{3,1}},digraph {{1,2},{2,3}},bigraph {{3,4},{2,4}})
o1 = MixedGraph{Bigraph => Bigraph{2 => {4} }}
3 => {4}
4 => {3, 2}
Digraph => Digraph{1 => {2}}
2 => {3}
3 => {}
Graph => Graph{1 => {3}}
3 => {1}
