The mystery of Starlight's past had recieved another boost out of Friendship is Magic writer Josh Haber. When asked about her parents and if they were ever included in the scripts of "The Cutie Re-Mark or "The Crystalling", he responded that she was a "Latch-Key-Kid".
Apparently, that means they weren't around much. She was left alone without any parental supervision, or return home to an empty house. Kinda like Scootaloo if the books are any indication. Maybe we will see some of that explored in season 8?

Thanks to Luis for sending it.
