After Leopold and Loeb were arrested, Loeb's parents never saw him again. His father had had heart problems, and they went to their vacation home in Michigan, where Mrs. Loeb watched over her husband until he died right after the trial and sentencing. After her husband's death, Mrs. Loeb never visited Loeb in prison.
Leopold's father attended the trial, but didn't visit him in prison. His brothers visited him for years in prison.
This is what I recall reading, anyway.
Edited to add: Another source says Mrs. Loeb did in fact occasionally visit her son when he was in prison.One of Loeb's brothers also visited him.
