I rented a room from a family when I was at college. They were always really harsh with their teenage daughter and super adoring with her older brother. I had to ask the dad to get rid of the signal jammer they had secretly installed to stop the daughter from being on her phone because I couldn’t use my computer or phone (it randomly would kill the wifi signal). What really took the cake was the several hours (3+) that the mother spent yelling at the daughter one day. It was like she was going through a book of “shit not to say to your teenage daughter” and said every thing in there. “You look like a hooker the way you put on your makeup”, “you’ll never amount to anything”, “why can’t you be more like your brother”, you are fat, stupid, useless, ugly etc.. just totally laying on her. The mother would yell and complain about pretty much anything the daughter did but that was really too far.

When working in a box store about 10 years ago, a customer reported to me that they found a kid tied to a clothing rack. The mother had used her child leash to tie up her kid in an isolated corner while she shopped. We untied the kid, took him to my manager, and promptly called the cops.

It was about 15 years ago when I was in high school. We were all coming out of school and a woman was passing by with a 5 year old boy. The child seemed a bit overwhelmed by the crowds of people all of a sudden surrounding him and went to grab his mothers hand. The mother wouldn’t hold his hand and instead started yelling at him “Don’t you worry baby, in about 10 years all these girls will be dropping their panties for you.” The poor kid looked so scared and confused. I’ve never forgotten that line or that kid’s face. So disturbing to see.
