Letting your kids do most things is a good parenting thing. But not stopping them from anything they do is the worst you can do to them. Some comments mentioned that when kids are asked for an ID at the cashier because they are buying alcohol or going to watch adult movies. They come with their mother, who says, “She's going to BE a mother. She can make her own choices about what movies to watch!”. And it has become more than expected that many people have witnessed the same.

Education is the light a person can hold in any time of darkness. But some parents do not help their kids in getting educated. And it especially happens with the girls. They set up a wedding fund for their daughters instead of a college fund. A comment says that such parents tell their daughters: “You're going to be a housewife, and it's futile to develop yourself as a person.” It's pretty heartbreaking.

Cashiers have often noticed women who come with their kids and use their money to buy things. Kids would be crying and shedding tears. Because e it was their money, they saved it for a year or more for their favorite thing or candy. But their mom refuses them and uses their money to get something for themselves. It looks so harsh to even think about kids passing by the candy racks with tears.

9. Leaving Kid Home Alone

A few people share their childhood experiences of staying at home alone. They had to stay alone at home, not because their parents had a tough job. It was only because their parents wanted to enjoy themselves alone and not want kids with them on vacation. A commenter even said that “they survived on crackers as the only food option in such times.”

10. Bullying Your Own Kids

Bullying at school or in a public place can be an everyday thing. But some kids are being bullied at home. Parents force their children for not having certain concepts and laugh at them for not being smart enough, and telling kids weak points openly in a family gathering. It's ridiculous the amount of time it happens. It's like gifting your child a lifetime of trauma.

11. Physical Abuse

Physical abuse for the kids usually comes from inside the home and from the people who are close enough to the kids. But unfortunately, kids don't know this kind of abuse. So when it is identified, it is already late enough. Many teachers and foster parents have mentioned this in their comments. Children are being separated from their parents by CPS because their step-fathers, uncles, or birth fathers, in worst cases, were the abusers.
