Majority of parents abuse children

[okarol]

When my sister first sent me this I couldn't open it because of the title. We actually had some extreme dysfunction when it came to parenting
in my house growing up, so I was hesitant to read this. But it wasn't what I thought, so read on...
               What can be done for these kids?

Me too. You are not alone.

It's a sad day when the children start to control the adults as they try to do. I was physically abused and mentally abused as a child but you know what? When you become an adult it is your choice if you hang on to that or try to improve it. That is one reason i don't drink, because most of the abuse happened at the hands of my Father when he drank. No one is perfect, all you can do is not make the same mistake, but you have to have discipline. i will not allow alcohol or illegal drugs to control my actions, period.

That is, sad to say, funnier than hell, lol,  to think about the lady pasting the kids hair down with saliva, lmao... i think these kids need to visit a homeless shelter or a house for battered wives or "really" abused children to straighten their little asses out   Thanks Okarol, i have a few people i need to send that to, they are gonna love it

I was always proud to be a "mean mom" when my kids were little. When we would go to the store, I was never one to buy them little toys or candy when they asked. They would ask, I would say "no" and they would ask "why?" and I would say "because I'm a mean mom!" and give them a kiss instead!

NO - its satire... go check out the site www.theonion.com

Its pretty hilarious once you get passed the gravity of the subjects they are poking a bit of fun at!!!

[Falkenbach]

"Encouraged to speak freely and confidentially about their home lives, subjects shocked even seasoned child welfare advocates with tales of systematic deprival and gratuitous cruelty. One Illinois boy told of being forced to linger with his mother in fabric stores and later leaving a Toys "R" Us empty-handed, even though the store sold a water gun he really wanted"

  loved this bit.
