Zephram got drunk and talked about them on the record.
There's probably footage of that still somewhere in the 24th century.

I've lived in two centuries, had sex in one of them.I've only had sex in three countries (and two of them were England & Scotland)
There are people all over the world right studying things you've never heard of. It doesn't mean you live in a bubble; it just means that there's A LOT of stuff out there!
Starfleet didn't have any concrete information on the Borg. There was no reason for Picard to have ever heard of them...unless he took some Delta Quadrant Mythology course at the Academy. Even the Hansens were just following rumors and hearsay.
They were idealistic anthropologists who had grown up in the peaceful cocoon of the Federation and had no idea of how dangerous the galaxy really could be,
There is accuracy in this which makes the "incompetent" option even more accurate.
They took risks bolstered by their idealism and if 7 had just ended up socially stunted and removed from other people for years it would be a shame but not a disaster. But what happened to her is so horrifying that it's hard not to be very angry at her parents.

The Hansen's gave Seven a Borg cube to play with (before ever encountering them!) clearly people knew shit about them
Picard isn't a butcher in a Danish Village. He's captain of the Federation's flagship. He was an adult when the Hansen's were disobeying Starfleet's order to come back. He would certainly be aware of the rumours
You assume the rumors are widespread. For all we know the Hansens read about them in a book when they were going to school. Maybe they replicated their own Borg cube model after talking to random merchants in the Neutral Zone. We just don't know.
Her parents were fanatics, idealogues who put their fantabulous theories and quest for being the ones to discover something over the safety of their child. They were idiots. Yes they should have left her with the aunt or, you know, NOT gone. You can't do everything when you have a kid and still responsibly raise the kid. This is normal smarts, which the Hansens did not have.
Everything rumoured about the Borg was presumably threatening. And yet they went far beyond the help of other ships.
As far as I'm concerned discussion can stop at this post.

You must be new here
Discussions never stop
NEVER!!
They just keep going until people no longer know what's happening and start discussing beard maintenance or the benefits of having a talking vagina
Save yourself, it's too late for us
According to the novels, however they likely became part of the Caeliar gestalt, and currently are in better shape than Seven mentally and physically.

We see Seven's father as a drone, on board the Queen's ship (which was later destroyed). So it looks like he's space toast.
As for Seven herself: Do we know whether or not she wanted to accompany her parents on the mission? Maybe she thought it would be exciting, and asked to go along.
