parent:: is for accessing the parent classes implementation of a method. Your class doesn't have a parent, because it does not extend any class. Hence the error.

class Foo {

    public function bar() {
        echo 'bar';
    }

}

class Baz extends Foo {

    public function bar() {
        parent::bar();
        echo 'baz';
    }

}

Here parent makes sense, because there is a parent class.

class Foo {

    public function bar() {
        parent::bar();
    }

}

Here parent makes no sense, because there is no parent, hence error. Since it doesn't make sense and serves no purpose, just remove it.
