You cannot change “have” without changing the meaning of the phrase. The use of “have” in your phrase is as a part of the Present Perfect tense of the verb “become”.

So the current (present perfect) meaning of the verb is:

The children “became” at an unknown time in the past OR they became and are still becoming.

If you take away the “have”, you change the verb to a different tense, thus different meaning.

“The children become”

meaning: Became a responsibility right now, in the present

“the children became”

meaning: became a responsibility in the past

“The children had become”

meaning: became a responsibility before something else that happened in the past

“The children have become”

Meaning: became a responsibility during an unknown time in the past OR they became and continue to become
