40 Times People Outed Themselves As Awful Parents After They Humiliated Their Kids
InterviewSome people are so desperate for love, attention, and likes that they’re willing to do practically anything to draw in the crowd on social media. The sad fact is that some folks out themselves as bad parents when they take to humiliating their own kids for clicks. It’s worse than it sounds, dear Pandas.
We’ve collected some of the most egregious cases of horrible parents making fun of their children, as shared on the 2.1-million-member strong ‘Insane People Facebook’ subreddit. Of course, everyone’s sensitive information is kept private to protect them. But the posts show the very low lows that some folks stoop to just to impress… well, we’re not really sure who they’re trying to impress with such despicable behavior, really. Warning: some of these pics deal with neglectful parents and might make you uncomfortable or anxious if you have experienced anything like this yourself.
If you have any faith in humanity left, keep a tight grip on it, Pandas, because you might lose it. When you’re done with this article, you might want to take a look through Bored Panda’s earlier list about r/insanepeoplefacebook right over here.
Bored Panda got in touch with the friendly moderators who take care of the entire r/insanepeoplefacebook subreddit for a chat about people wanting to get attention on social media. You'll find our interview with them as you scroll down.

Taken From A Parenting Group I’m In
But he "WON"- and that's what's really important. (eye roll)
Load More Replies...Yes you won !!! 1st price for being just about the WORST sperm donor on this planet because I will not call you a father.You have a 9 year old little boy who was no match for a bully like you.How do you know he was not in early stages of an illness,thowing up and off food is an early sympton on coming down with something.I feel sorry for your wife as well,but my heart goes out to this little boy you tortured.SHAME ON YOU !!!
This one was super upsetting to me. Just a warning to anyone who's just started reading this list, they do not get better. There are no good stories of justice being served to the abusers in this list. Not worth reading, and potentially triggering.
Load More Replies...That's heavy abusive! I hope, somebody called child protective service!
I hope your wife realizes that she is married to an abuser, and needs to get out NOW. Maybe you don't physically abuse your family, but mental abuse is just as bad. Men like you are COWARDS. Yes, coward. You must always be right, always in control, no matter who you hurt. I bet this will piss you off and you will throw a temper tantrum just like the three year old you are. If you want to do what is best for you and your family, please go for counseling. PLEASE!
I really want to see what replies they got in the parenting group and whether anyone told them the damage they're doing. My kid has always been told "you don't have to finish it". If they were complaining of hunger later on, they might get the leftovers re-heated, but never, ever will I insist she clean her plate of food.
Load More Replies...If this is the stuff they publicly admit to and consider a win, one can only imagine what they're like at their worst. Heartbreaking.
The moderators running the 'Insane People Facebook' subreddit spoke to Bored Panda about how some people fixate on getting attention on social media far too much.
"If social media causes you to neglect important aspects of your life, like work, family, friendships, health, then you have a problem. If it's causing you emotional grief or becomes the central focus of your life then it's a problem," they warned what folks should look at to see if they need to dial back and reprioritize.
Mom Sits In The Bathroom While Her 13 Year Old Showers
I'm just wondering WHY. They're not watching (thankfully), the curtain is closed, so why are they there? Some kind of paranoia that the kid will slip and fall?
Load More Replies...Let’s turn this around. Suppose that’s your 13 year old daughter, and your husband insists on staying in the bathroom while she showers. Still think it’s funny?
Pretty sure the 13 year old is a daughter as "oldest son" is 9. But still creepy af
Load More Replies...All kids need and deserve privacy. Yes, the specifics very much vary by age and individual child but this, this is just... weird, disturbing, disgusting. Idk. So many things come to mind. It's just gross.
Hell yeah he does.. How else is he sposed to beat like it owes him money?
Load More Replies...On A Post About Gentle Parenting Being Effective
I think they spelled child abuse wrong. It's spelled c-h-i-l-d a-b-u-s-e, not "starting sh*t". I hope the police show up at their door.
Unfortunately mental abuse like this won't be classed as abuse, but it should be!!!!
Load More Replies...And a place in the worst retirement home in town.
Load More Replies...well I thought this is funny, because I experienced this myself. And my mother can suck my ballsXD
Load More Replies...It's okay. This parents health will fail, they won't have friends, paid providers won't treat them well and their kids will shun them. All because of their attitude.
But not before they have burdened with a lifelong struggle to speak up for themselves, stand up for themselves and distinguish natural negative behaviour from the utterly toxic one their parents had applied onto them.
Load More Replies...Thats blatant child abuse. I come from the school of "Children should be seen, not heard". I get blamed for something, try to defend myself, "Be quiet, and do as i say". I thought that was our families motto. Being seen and not heard, hurt me developmentally, I lost the love of my life cuz i couldnt communicate my feelings or stand up for myself, so toxicity breeds toxic behavior. It has taken me twenty years to tell my mother how she made me feel, shes 75 now, and still doesnt understand how hurtful it was, she still says i need to man up. Mom I am the only one caring for you and your disability in your twilight years, let your stubbornness go. Yes I have given up trying to get closure, Ive accepted we are from two very different trains of thought. I still love her toxic ass. She's my mom and I realized she has her own demons and past traumas that drive her to act as such. Other than the whole be seen not heard, real men dont show emotions (dont cry) she's damn near a saint
I can feel you, mate!!! I'm female but am also stuck in a very similar situation. It's a permanent struggle to keep my mental health (which I've hadn't know a decade ago I need to have) and being close to her abusive mentality.
Load More Replies...It's no secret that some individuals bend the truth quite a bit for the sake of getting likes on social media. According to the moderators, common sense is very useful when it comes to identifying online lies. "We can often tell by reviewing a user's post history or other users may point out that the poster is not being truthful," they shared some of the things that people can consider when judging whether an internet user is trustworthy.
The r/insanepeoplefacebook mods explained that they're all volunteers, so there isn't necessarily someone "on duty" 24/7. "Moderation is basically a hobby for us. We do have a large mod team distributed across multiple continents so we have pretty good coverage," they said that they have a great team and they all do their best to create a welcoming, friendly environment.
What Sort Of Parent Says They're Ashamed And Disgusted With Their Children? This Sort
Religion combined with 25 years of Fox "News." Rupert Murdoch should be shot.
Load More Replies...This doesn’t reinforce the MAGA Party* as being a cult of personality. (*Today, Biden perfectly trolled the Republican party by calling them The MAGA Party)
Given their parentage, it's a major accomplishment on your kids' part that they turned out so well.
They're your children, NOT, your property! BTW, thank God! We couldn't survive another four years with Trump in office!!
Perhaps the state he referred to is the 30 year old trailer in a park next to the swamp. I'd love to hear kids side of this.
If someone was really this ashamed would they put it on social media? I dunno, this could just be a special breed of parents I don't understand.
Trump supporters are a special breed of person. This behaviour doesn't surprise me at all.
Load More Replies...I can't believe that some people make who they vote for a part of their identity like that. It seems cultish somehow.
What Great Parenting
CPS acted on this and super moo in the background got charged quite rightly with abuse
The lesson here? My parent is a psychopath with no respect for my style. When I am 18, I am OUT of there!
Serves that ogress of a mother right if she never gets any grandkids.
Load More Replies...such a horrible parent for doing that… it’s her hair, let her do what she wantd
Poor little mite...did she also have to sweep the hair up? the childs mouth says it all...I hope Clan Leader is right..
Poor girl, this is what they did to prisoners and slaves way back when.
Anti-Vaxxer Mom "Grieving" After Adult Daughter Chooses To Get Her Missed Shots
Yep. HIPAA violation. Hey, her daughter can have her brought up on criminal charges!
Load More Replies...They must have injected some sense into her after your brainwashing.
Oh, apparently you taught her well!! She has learned that you're a stupid, moronic b***h and she hopes to have a fighting chance by getting the vaccines that you denied her!!
I love vaccines, when I got my covid booster I also got a flu shot and tetanus for good measure.
Me too. Why not take any precaution against disease that is offered you
Load More Replies...You managed to raise a very intelligent person despite your own belief in Conspiracy Theories.
"Furthermore, users have the ability to report rule-breaking or offensive content. When enough reports are detected a bot will automatically remove the post and the mods will review the removal," they explained how things work.
The mods stressed to Bored Panda that they don't allow members of the subreddit to post someone's personal information, such as names, usernames, locations, etc. They're also very strict about content that features children and do their best to remove them when they come across them.
Mothers Fail To Properly Homeschool Their Children
At least the middle one acknowledges it and feels terrible.
Load More Replies...Jesus, don't that have tests or something that kids have to take when they're homeschooled to make sure s**t like this doesn't happen???
Yes, they do, but in the US it depends the state. Some have basically zero requirements for home schooled kids or have no way to force the parents to put them in an actual school if they repeatedly fail
Load More Replies...I'm homeschooled. I went to take my ACT at a nearby high school and got a 29. Not all homeschoolers are like these ones.
If homeschooling your child is not working, then it's the fault of the teacher, not the student. I hope those kids can get all the help they need
The last one it sounds like the kid may have some kind of issue (which the parent clearly hasn't bothered to get him diagnosed with from the way they're speaking so still their fault not the kid's). I feel really bad for him because he's never going to be able to function in the world like that/
Load More Replies...I would hope so. Any kid paid just a little attention would know countries, the alphabet LONG BEFORE 13. I bet they're the kind who will tell you "my kid is learning about nature and jumping in puddles, he don't need no formal education he's in the school of life" etc. It takes so little to teach a kid the alphabet or hang a world map on their wall and point out some places each night/ask them to point some out.
Load More Replies...This is why school is mandatory in Germany. (And probably most other countries.)
School should be universally mandatory. It's better for kids to learn from licensed professionals, and make friends for themselves (instead of, like, mom's friend's kids).
Load More Replies...stupid.....Stupid......STUPID, parents!!! Oh, the harm you are causing to these poor children!! BTW, do you, the parents, know the answers to these facts?? I would guess, "NO"!!!!
Teacher here. Cannot tell you how many times "home schooled" children return to a public school and are woefully behind. We are talking 10+ years old who cannot read as well as a kindergartener. Yes, we teach kindergarteners to read and write. Maybe leave that to the professionals if you are not going to actually teach. Children are people.
But, but, but ... indoctrination. And science. And (maybe) US history.
Load More Replies...My Parents Took Advantage Of The Graduation Sign Trend To Shit On Me For Dropping Out
Id love to ask the parents, Hey what college did you attend? What was your major? Are you using it daily? Hows the student debt? College isnt for everyone, it most certianly wasnt for me. Not to brag, but Ive done equally as well as my parents, if not better. They both hold admirable degrees, Mom LPN (now would be Nurse Practitioner), Father, Two Masters from U of M in engineering and something closely related and GMI (Skilled trade school at GM). I the HS dropout, did better. Not stupid rich like dad, but comfortable and happy. Not stuck in upper middle management because my degree dictated it. People learn at their own pace. Historical dates, the US Civil war, did nothing for me. After school PC labs introduced me to IT
Load More Replies...I can't believe people like this exist. I'm not saying that in Europe child abuse don't exist: there are awful things here as well. But in Europe I have never seen this eagerness of public humiliation of someone's son/daughter.
Ok. But why did you drop out of Yale??? I feel this needs more back story.
Just to be clear, parents shouldn't do this, but I can understand their frustration if they made sacrifices and pushed their kid to an ivy league college and then the kid drips out. I need to know why. Did the kid fail because Yale was too hard for him compared to a state school or what happened?
Load More Replies...Owen, you are a valuable and successful person. I believe in you and your accomplishments (even if your parents don't).
WAs it as a joke or to be mean? My mom would do this and I'd think it was hilarious
Insane Mom Brags About Bullying Her Son With Gender Role BS
When I read news stories about kids who crack and end up shooting their parents, I always wonder if this kind of thing was going on behind the scenes.
Usually. And, to be honest, the reason it didn't happen to my dad is... well, really, I don't know. We just didn't think he'd die, is my bet.
Load More Replies...I hope he opened it and loved it! Just to spite this trash of a mom
Then they'd probably just berate him for enjoying it and most likely crush him by taking it away. If they did let him keep and play with it they'd probably just use it as a way to embarrass him and try to bully him into "acting like a boy".
Load More Replies...You and your fiancé have a special place in Hell waiting for you. Please send your son to me. I will gladly take him, and my cat would be thrilled.
Actually, it would be the 9th circle, for Treachery, according to Dante’s Inferno.
Load More Replies...I hate with a passion parents that make fun of their kids for things they do. My brother had a stutter and it was only made worse by his father and it only got worse and worse and then his dad wondered why my bro doesn't talk to him now. If I ever meet that guy I'm going to punch him in his dumb face. I hope this kid gets away from his stupid parents as soon as possible or someone rescues him.
I seriously hope the non-custodial parent goes to court and gets that poor kid out of that hellhole!
Load More Replies...It's not right that bogroll for brains like this manage to have kids whilst good people struggle. I wonder what she sounds like when she screams? I have a friend fighting infertility who I'm sure would like to help her find out.
Because being a girl is so bad you can use the word as an insult...toxic masculinity, toxic parenting... And they are going to play surprise Pikachu when he will cut ties
I have two boys and I never worried if their toys were labeled as girls or boys. In fact I yelled at a friend when she berated my son for playing with dolls with his sister. Heaven forbid he should learn how to handle a fake baby before he grows up and tries to handle a real one./s This attitude just does not compute and makes my head hurt.
Are these parents being reported or is their appalling behaviour just being used for entertainment?
During an earlier interview, Bored Panda spoke about the r/insanepeoplefacebook subreddit, its history, and community with a couple of moderators. They noted that it’s great to see the sub having become so successful over the years.
According to them, a new generation of moderators took over from the old guard. The subreddit really took off during the 2016 US presidential election when Republican Donald Trump went up against Democrat Hillary Clinton.
"I've been here for four years or thereabout when we had 300k subscribers. The community has grown rapidly since the 2016 election and now has 2 million subscribers. It's become much more political over time as well," one of the moderators told Bored Panda.
"The subreddit can get very busy just because of the number of people who use it. Our biggest challenge is generally interference from other communities but we do have tools that deal with that. That's probably our biggest challenge," they told us.
When Your Mom Wants To Dress Her 7 Year Old Daughter As A H**ker For Easter
Question 1, how does a 7 year old even know what a playboy bunny is? Question 2, could the costume be any more inappropriate for a religion based event? It's just wrong on so many levels.
Load More Replies...Still remember one year, think it was 2006 or 2007, last year I trick or treated.. saw two girls that looked preteen dressed like hookers in super revealing costumes. Still bugs me. And uh, Claire shoulda clapped back with "just because you're not sexy anymore doesn't mean your daughter needs to make up for it."
My sister had a new years Eve date as a senior in HS where my mother insisted she needed a butt length halter top dress from Frederick's of Hollywood. Because every mother wants her beautiful 17yo daughter to look like a hooker. /s
Load More Replies...Let’s make sure our daughters are all sexualized early, so they get a sense of what their only real worth is.
There is a reason they do not make Playboy bunny costumes for kids. Playboy is part of the adult and pornography industry. She should not know what Playboy bunnies are, much less want to be one.
what. the actual. f**k. if your kid wants to dress up as a bunny, fine. that's cute! BuT DON'T DRESS THEM AS A F*****G PLAYBOY BUNNY!
Too much watching Toddlers and Tiaras....her brain is burnt out...
This is horrible. Ashlyn does not, in fact, want to dress like that. Ashlyn at most wants to be a cute bunny. You want her to wear that, you sicko. Ashlyn... I really hope you have some better influences in your life, this is disgusting. Also... Easter? That's a really important day for Christians, and it's the exact opposite of stuff like this! I bet even those who aren't religious are probably shaking their heads! Wtf!
Mom Swears Adding Poop To Kids’ Diet Boosts Immunity
I can’t even. They are trying copy a legitimate medical procedure used in rare cases
It is used IN A HOSPITAL SETTING with sterile feces and NOT fed to patient's. It is used to treat severe cases of C-difficile which causes severe diarrhea, and that is a real simplification. I am being tested for it now. UGH! But these people are dangerous.
These parents are bats**t crazy. This is what rampant misinformation on the Internet has done for us. Always CHECK your SOURCES when you read something this bizzare.
I used to work on sewage treatment plants, we sampled thousands of sites. We handled the stuff every day. Trust me on this, and it’s not hard to, human waste is not something you should be feeding to anyone. My teams had immense immune systems, never caught coughs or colds, we withstood every flu outbreak and never got sick BUT we never ATE the stuff.
“My Daughter’s Devastated… Let Me Publicly Post Her Crying On Facebook And Brag About How ‘I Made Every Team Easily!’ Suck It Up, Buttercup!”
Did they seriously post photos of their kid with this?! I bet if they looked back, they'd find they either had parents encouraging them to get out and play, or siblings to play with. Things they perhaps failed to provide for their own child. And they probably won't let her stay out in the street "till the street lights came on" as the oldies claim they did. The only failure here is the parents.
Load More Replies...While the lesson of having to work for things is a good one, this is just f*****g stupid. Here, let me fake feel bad for my kid while actually just saying she sucks.
This is how you get you kid to hate you for the rest of their life because you make them feel like they aren't good enough
Yeah. Kid that age will DEFINITELY remember this forever. If she's lucky, she'll find the lesson ("go out and fight for it") helpful and forgive her. If she isn't, kid will probably not visit often in the nursinghome.
Load More Replies...Too much to hope that that yellow square is covering up the one finger salute she is giving that awful mother.
"What's my advice for dealing with failing? I dunno I never failed. Try not failing."
Weird. The words I read said that unless all you want is a participation trophy you need to work on skills besides using a phone.
Load More Replies...Hey you, girl in this post. I don't know you, I don't know your name, but please believe me when I say that you deserve much better than this. No matter what your parents say, you ROCK, you are awesome! You can do anything you want and you can not do anything you want too! I don't know if you will ever see this, but when you do, please know that you are a wonderful person and very much deserving of all the love that people want to give you. Your worth is not measured by a sports team. Or an academic team. Or any test score. You can do whatever the h3ll you want. You got this!
Wrong approach, good intent. Yes, children need to know how to handle failure. Everything will not go your way in life. Hard work is important. Some kids have to work harder to get average grades than some kids do to get good grades. BUT YOU GAVE THE KID THE PHONE, and it is your job to monitor its use. And just because you made the team and she didn't does not make you the better person.
Not everyone loves every (or even any) sport. And that's OK. Activity for health's sake should be encouraged; activity for second hand bragging rights is borderline abusive.
"It's a fun subreddit to moderate because our users are very engaged. Never a dull moment," they said that the job of a moderator is pretty fun.
Another moderator, u/Merari01, stressed that the sub has gotten incredibly busy since the 2016 elections.
"The subreddit has gotten a lot more busy since then and like most everything else since 2016 can get pretty partisan at times. The team moderates fairly and equitably within the existing ruleset. One thing we do not allow is when people try to use the subreddit to post something racist or bigoted and that's something we look out for," they explained.
This Mom On Her Son's Account In A Goth Group
Santanic symbols? So...Christmas trees? Gifts? Reindeer? Really confused, guys. Help me out.

Classy Mom And Dad Take Their Kids To Visit Nasa's Headquarters
I bet they think that sporks are satanic as well. (also phuc you for forcing this stupidity on your children)
Maybe they will just drive off the edge of the earth and do everyone a favor!!
Load More Replies...Imagine walking around with the word “FLAT” splayed across your chest
I’m really curious about this. Did they just go there to take this photo and then leave? Or did they actually walk around at the Kennedy Space Center? I’ve been there and there is so much cool stuff. I feel really sorry for those kids if they didn’t get to see the space shuttle hanging inside or check out the space suits. I am guessing that they must live in Florida. I don’t understand how you could go there and not be amazed at what NASA accomplished. Unless, of course, you think the entirety of NASA is a big conspiracy and they didn’t really do anything.
Yeah, I was hoping that they took the kids on that mockery tour but the kids were fascinated and came out wanting to be scientists.
Load More Replies...stop forcing you conspiracy theories on your kids. next thing you know they might go antivaxx
I wanted to hope it was an ironic picture with the parents mocking the kids by pretending to be dumb. But mom flipping NASA the bird proves otherwise...
It's not good humor, but I can understand the sense of humor that would send normal people there with the shirts for the photo op.
Load More Replies...They are way to happy. I wonder if the workers at NASA all had a field day with these jokes
I have a great story. As a freshman in high school, my science teacher taught the class the earth was flat. He spouted all kinds of nonsense logic and welcomed arguments from every kid willing to challenge him. He spun all the arguments in his favor. In a week, about half the class believed him. Well, ONE KID actually emailed NASA and came into class with a printout of evidence that NASA provided. The teacher smiled at the kid and told him to hang on to that. After a week of this, the teacher walked into a heated classroom of half flat-earthers and half kids who still believed the earth was round and wrote the word "PSEUDOSCIENCE" on the board. He dived into a lesson about how people can believe nonsense and sound scientific while doing so -- and how to recognize that and call it out. He commended the kid who reached out to NASA and explained how science knows the earth isn't flat. He wanted us teens to be confronted with pseudoscience straight on and learn how to deal with it.
He was recognized as teacher of the year for our state a few years later. It's been almost 20 years now, and I still remember that lesson on pseudoscience. He was a terrific teacher.
Load More Replies...If the earth was in fact flat, cats would just yeet our asses off the planet.
Only idiots like this could go to a place where there is literal evidence that the earth is not flat, and be this damn stupid.
Ah, Yes… Public Abuse And Humiliation. Maybe Now He’ll Be A Great Baseball Player!
And I'm assuming this kid is about 6 or something because surely the coach/umpire would have stopped them for going on the field during a game.
Load More Replies...You are completely disgusting. I hope someone contacts the police, because what you did is called assault. You attacked, shamed, and humiliated a child because you think they need to be better at sports? And you’re proud of it? You might want to start planning how to take care of yourself in your old age, because I can pretty much guarantee that kid is not going to interested in helping you out.
Oh haha so funny. "I abuse my kid then laugh and brag about it on social media. Look at me being a good parent. Teaching the real lessons of life with tough love." This is just abuse and the lols every other word do not make it any better like I think they think it does.
I desperately want to see the responses they got. The kid clearly is either very little (5 or 6) or truly hates the game to be avoiding participating. Humiliating him in front of everyone as well as assaulting him is not going to make him like it more.
Load More Replies...What the Hell?! Punishing a child for not doing well in a sport is horrifying! You certainly showed your "roots" today. I can only hope the coach kicked your sorry ass off the field permanently and let your child sit out the rest of the game. If you tried to come after your child again, the cops would be slapping handcuffs on you.
Just went and looked at the original post. 6 months old. The child she hit was 2 !!!!!!!!!! 2 years old! OMG. My anger is beyond nuclear. Babies should not be forced to "play" sports!
Load More Replies...If this was in America, I certainly hope she gets a visit and someone submitted a video to CPS. It'll be fun if she ever has to fight for custody
Load More Replies...One thing that r/insanepeoplefacebook is known for is inspiring the creation of other similar subreddits. And that’s a cause for celebration among the mods. "It's great! It's a measure of success when a subreddit branches off into other communities."
u/Merari01 said that the moderators of the sub tend to be as busy as they want to be because there’s always work to be found.
"You can micromanage and check every comment made, but who has the time for that? Mostly we check the queue and the front page of the subreddit. We're all experienced enough to see when a post is made that will likely attract problem comments. In that case, we often choose to lock the post. We're all volunteers here who moderate as a fun hobby and no-one wants to continuously press F5 to stay on top of rulebreaking material in that case," the mod said.

Neither!! He's a legal, consenting, adult! Stop invading his privacy you pieces of s**t!! ;(
Yeah, go to the police. Definitely. They absolutely love having their time wasted.
Well to be fair we don't know where this is from, and there are still too many countries where being gay is illegal. Not likely in this case, but still worth thinking about.

Or, "I asked him to bring those back two weeks ago."
Load More Replies...Parenting Done Right
Just because you don't remember it doesn't mean it never happened. 16 year olds are jerks because growing up is tough. They're learning, pushing and testing boundaries for a new stage of their life. I'm not excusing the things I did to my parents back then, but it is hard to be a teenager.
This parent is a whole different issue to that I think. They're right there with the one putting poop in the kids' food and the one complaining their kid got vaccinated. They have a deranged view of the world derived from too much time doing internet "research".
Load More Replies...This is called poisoning your child when putting essential oils in your kids food and could possibly kill them. Someone needs to call the police on this "mother"
I use essential oils but just for diffusing, and there are 3 that I add to my hand cream & body lotion. I would NEVER put it in anyone's food or force it on them in any way. I've known some EO users who are like this tho, and I distanced myself from them very quickly!
Load More Replies...doTERRA. It's a modern day pyramid scheme selling snake oil "essential oils".
Load More Replies...I think that those "oils" that she is taking might actually be THC because she is definitely on something

Depression Is A Phase
Yeah! You can take away his games, his time out of the house, and start homeschooling him. When he kills himself, no more phase!
This one is genuinely scary. I hope that kid got real support at some point.
Lady, depression isn’t an”phase”. It’s a disease resulting from a chemical imbalance in the brain. What you can do is get him to a doctor before he comes home from school one day and hangs himself.
Best case scenario would be, that with the help needed the depression is cured. Then, years later the kid can say, "at one phase in my adolescence, I had depression." Not gonna happen if the mom doesn't wake up tho.
Load More Replies...Depression is not a "phase" and should not be treated like one. If this person was an actually good parent they would try to help their son. Some people don't deserve kids.
Yeah get him some real help, actually listen to him and try to understand just how hard depression is, regardless if its seasonal, just going through a lot or has clinical mild/severe depression. Heaven forbid you actually try to understand your kid instead of just thinking there's an on/off switch for them.
You punished your child for coming to you with a valid problem. Get him some professional help. A guidance counselor or even a family doctor can suggest someone.
Yeah! I told my mother that I was suicidal back in February. She immediately scheduled an appointment with a doctor, I got diagnosed with severe depression, and I'm on medication. She experienced it herself, so she knew just how terrible it could be.

So she’s rude and disrespectful? You’re apparently loud enough to wake her up. And you just can’t be quiet? Yuk.
Sqeaky floors and bed frames can be a huge problem when trying to be discreet, which the parent says they are trying to be. So yeah - get the kid some headphones, good, noise canceling headphones.
Load More Replies...Trade floors. Give her the noisy floorboards and you take the room on the concrete slab. Or buy her some nice air pods.
So, in the past (and even in some places today), families have had one room houses. Kids are not only going to hear stuff, but see stuff as well. Might not be great in this situation, but it is a part of life. She probably already saw stuff on tv, let alone on the internet. But yeah, the parents could try to be quiet. Go in the basement or something. Either way, I think the rest of the comments here are overreacting.
I don't think it's a huge issue that she hears them, I just don't like how the parent reacted. How should an 11 year old know how to address something like that properly when her own parent calls it "ummm you know"? I don't think she was being disrespectful, probably just extremely uncomfortable.

First of all she's 11 second of all she's probably trying to sleep third of all it may be "a part of life" but no one wants to hear that
Nice One, Dad

Isn’t anyone also wondering, in all these posts about hair, who are the a*****e hairdressers doing the parents’ bidding?
Hairdressers are trained to pick up on abuse. If a parent brought their kid in under these premises a good hairdresser would refuse the work and possibly call CPS or child services.
Load More Replies...The long hair one is a picture of the highlights the young girl got for her birthday. The short hair ones are what her father did as a reaction to them.

And daddy dearest won't understand why his daughter cuts him out of her life as soon as she's old enough to be on her own!
Load More Replies...I don't really understand what happened here. The girl had highlights put in and the a*****e "father" sheared her hair because he didn't like it, and because he wanted to annoy his ex-wife? Is that right? Honestly, it's sometimes difficult for me to understand the depths of some people's idiocy.
Yes, yo got it right. Dad and his gf chopped off the girl's hair after she had gotten highlights for her birthday. She spent a weekend with the father and got "delivered" back with that "haircut".
Load More Replies...The mom & sperm donor were already divorced. Mom took her daughter to get highlights for her birthday. Then when the daughter went to spend the weekend with the sperm donor, he & his girlfriend cut the daughter's hair themselves.

Social media and popular culture expert Mike Sington, from Hollywood, knows that people can start bending the truth quite a bit just to get some attention online.
"Getting clicks and amassing followers on social media is how success is defined. For many, it becomes addictive, and the more attention your social media gets, it actually creates an adrenaline rush. The monster feeds itself,” he told Bored Panda previously.
Oh Sure, Just Publicly Shame Your Kid Online
Yep. Just humiliate your kid. Get it out on the Net so all her friends can see it and make fun of her. Post it on social media so you can get strangers to laugh at her. I can’t imagine why she doesn’t respect you.
Social media might attract the 'wrong' people and have the authorities at their door to do a well child check. Some neighbor took pics of a young person while dressing in their own room, from their house to show that he's indecent???? Had the cops at their own door for taking pics of a minor. Charged with a crime, that taught them !
Load More Replies...Teach them not to be disrespectful by... disrespecting them. Brilliant. Bravo.
Context is important sadly. I remember being told I was being "unacceptably disrespectful' for not allowing my parents and by proxy sisters unrestricted access to my money. As a teenager. So yeah.
The kid being stood there with this sign is ridiculous, If they had stolen money and the sign said "I'm a thief", if they'd bullied other kids and the sign had said "I'm a bully" I could understand at least. But "disrespecting" parents? really? Just like you never disrespected your parents or siblings by not wanting to give them your money. I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope you know now that that's not ok
Load More Replies...Kid should write on the other side: Help! Call CPS and show it when the parents are not looking
Respect is EARNED... it is not automatic. My bully father could not get this through his thick skull.
This would probably make their attitude worse, and your kid won't want to respect you.
Remember, parents, that your kids will choose whether you go to Assisted Living or a nursing home.

Well.... My son is 1, his name is Andrew. We've told family that we won't be using the nickname Andy. However, he's 1, I can't imagine barging into his elementary school in the future to demand he be called by his full name. This child is making friends and forming an identity, she's damaging him and now this kid will be known as Andrew with the psycho mother.
If you don't like nick names, don't give your child a name that has a common nick name. My first name is Nicholas and I've been called Nick since before I can remember and everyone calls me Nick. Growing up i heard plenty of Nick at Night, St. Nick, Nickelodeon etc. Then, my last name is the same as a humorous actor from an 80/90s sitcom. So yeah, I got that too. Name your kid whatever you want, but you can't control what 7.5B people will call them.

All my cousins are older than I am. We're all well into adulthood now. My entire life we called my cousin by his full first name, I always accepted as what he preferred and assumed he preferred it to the common short version of it.A few years ago my cousin met my SO for the first time he introduced himself as 'full name' or 'short version'. That was a moment of complete surprise for me I asked hin if he preferred the short version he said yes. He said family always called him the full version (not out of spite) but all friends includeding his wife called him by the short version. I told him he should have told me years ago, and I'd have called him by the sort version.
I can't imagine wasting classroom time with this. Calling a kid the form of the name he uses himself?
Insane Parent Exploits Their Crying Kid For Their Anti Vaxx Agenda Over Facebook (Repost)
This isn't about the Covid vaccine, kids weren't eligible until November 2021 and this post has a September date. So this is somebody who refused basic measles etc vaccines for their kid.
Where I live, they wouldn't have been able to get into school at all for refusing the vaccines for their age!
Load More Replies...Your son is learning a lesson here. I am pretty sure it is not the one you thought he learned.
Ik this one specifically isn't about the covid vaccine, but just a reminder, in most cases the vaccine is good for your kid and highly recommended by just about every vaccine, contagious virus, anything relating to covid and the vaccine expert. Ofc there's exceptions, for example, my sister has an autoimmune disorder, with like an 80% survival rate, and one of the main killers of it is also the most common serious symptom the vaccine can cause in her age group. So that's a good reason for her not to get it, however, I have no valid reason not to have it, and yet my parents won't vaccinate me either (for covid, I have all my other vaccines) beside that, no one in my family would wear masks except me :/
Thank you for protecting your sister. I know it's not even a question for you, of course you're going to wear a mask and try to keep yourself and her safe, but that doesn't mean it's easy. I can't imagine the family pressure or the stress or anything else you must be dealing with. For your sake and the sake of immunocompromised people everywhere, I hope this is over soon
Load More Replies...“Studied vaccine safety” eg read some Facebook posts most likely. How many kids died or became seriously unwell before vaccinations became available from things like Measles, small pox, mumps, rubella and polio etc.
Just look at old cemeteries, as there are plenty of graves of children who died from things we now have vaccines for, such as measles, rubella, whooping cough, etc.

"A good sign of people going overboard in seeking attention and recognition on social media is when they start exaggerating or making things up.

You're right. Still doesn't excuse posting stupid s**t your kids do online for all to see, but I guess it's not necessarily a neglect territory.
Load More Replies...It is possible that Poison Control was called and they are going by what they told them. I had to call them one time for my daughter and they told me what to do and what would probably happen, what could happen, and what exactly to go to the ER for. However, documenting things like this on FB and in the manner in which it is written is odd to me. I'd feel like a horrible parent and be so concerned even if I talked to PC. I would not be sharing it on FB like this.
Does this fool parent think she's drunk? "Perfume ingestion can even cause someone to pass out or have a seizure. Because perfumes were not created to be eaten, they can even have toxic alcohols like the ones found in windscreen washer fluid."
Just in case anyone out there is wondering, if anyone drinks any substance that is not to be ingested you must always go to the hospital and try to take the bottle of what they have drunk. Some people think if they are sick they have got rid of the substance but this is not the case. If they are not sick chances are they haven't ingested enough for it to hit the stomach but this still requires a hospital visit as quickly as possible, If on the other hand they are sick this means they have drunk enough for it to hit their stomach and should be rushed to hospital immediately. Being sick does not mean they have cleared out what they drank and the longer it is left the more damage it will do.
WTF! About a year ago I accidentally gave my daughter the wrong medication both were prescribed to her I happened to grab the wrong bottle (correct dosage). When I realized that I had done that I immediately called her pediatrician explained the situation and they said it was fine and I could give her the correct medication and they wouldn't react to each other. I freaked out initially when I made the mistake, at least I sought medical advice.
"If a post seems particularly outrageous, or too good to be true, it may be made up. Even if someone else is posting the same thing, that doesn’t make it true, because it could simply be a re-post from the original poster," the social media expert said.

oh no, I have to stop myself from getting cancer, but first, let’s get some likes on Facebook!
If you want your kid to be proud of you, then achieve the goal first and then tell them. Tell them you did it for them, so you could be there for them, you did it for them because they make you proud, and you want them to feel proud of you but most of all you did it for them because you love them

Since when is invading someone's privacy considered "responsible parenting"?
This one is a little bit more of a gray area. With kids getting on social media at such young ages, and the rise of cyber bullying it is important to know what your kid is doing. When my son was growing up electronics were only allowed in the living room. No taking them to his bedroom. Also told him we reserved the right to look at his devices.
Load More Replies...I don't like to reveal my age online but I'm an upperclassman in highschool and my mother reads all my texts, looks at the music I listen to, and goes thru my internet history. This doesn't stop me from doing what I want, it has just taught me how to be sneaky and how to lie. Please don't do this to your kids.
Unfortunately this is a gray area for parents. I have a 10 year old daughter and don't plan on giving her a phone for a few more years. We are very down to earth people and treat our daughter almost like a roommate and not a child meaning we talk about everything and anything and we always make sure to listen and treat her with respect. But when she gets a phone, we will be checking it periodically. I don't care what music she listens to or what she looks at. But I do want to make sure she's not being bullied, threatened, or falling for a predator. A parents job is to make sure their kid is safe, but try to do it from a distance.

Let me break this down to you as soon as the internet came out there was kids dieing from this!? And there are a lot of bad stuff on the internet. I don't want my kid watching someone blowing there head off or someone torturing someone. I don't want my 10 yr watching porn. I'm sorry I such a. Bad parent for being aware of what my child is doing. And I do think it is wrong she posted it on internet and do think when you get o a certain age there should be privacy but for children that could be hurt at younger ages. Hell woman are even being murdered by people on the freaking internet I'm sorry but I care about my kid if I can stop that from happening I will! ✌️💞
Instead of invading your children's privacy you could create a healthy, trustful environment at home so that your children feel confident to talk to their parents about anything. They need to know they will be supported, helped and valued. It's "funny" how people don't really take their kids seriously and ridicule or ignore them, and then they complain because their kids don't tell them when something goes wrong.

Could Have At Least Done It Right By Naming Her Luna Indica
Yep just wait half an hour and she'll get withdrawal symptoms....
Load More Replies...Here where I live, this kind of thing could get CPS involved, (at least it used to now it might have to be something other than weed). They will drug test you and your child if they have any suspicion you used during pregnancy. Now that weed has become more acceptable idk if it's still something they check for and under what circumstances because I know way too many people who continued smoking weed while pregnant but yeah, it's possible.
So, assuming that weed itself is legal, is it actually illegal to smoke it while pregnant? Or is it still totally illegal where you live, just not really enforced?
Load More Replies...Not a doctor… but could it be because you’ve damaged your child’s brain development in utero with your addiction?
Should've called her Luna Cee,what's wrong with people?
I met a boy named Sativa Joy once. Thought it was really vain of his pothead parents to do that to him.
For people who say marijuana isn't addictive I am a substance abuse counselor and also went to treatment for marijuana dependance. I assure you, it's addictive. It's also harmful to babies in utero. You can't inhale a mind-altering substance through your your pregnancy and not expect in-utero effects.
Who Decided That Humiliating Your Children Was Good Parenting?

Let's Teach Our Kid That Throwing A Tantrum Doesn't Work... By Throwing A Tantrum
You know what, this reminds me of the time when I was young. Couldn't have been older than 7maybe 8. My dad kept telling me to clean my room. Well i wanted a friend to come over(which is another thing he always did. Tell me if I want my friends to come over clean my room. Then he'd say no or change his mind.) anyhow I was sitting on my bed cleaning my room. I was sorting through puzzle and game pieces. So in order to put all the puzzle pieces in the correct boxes I had to do the puzzles because they were all mixed together. Well my dad came in the room and flipped out. He completely flipped my mattress, with not just me on it but all of the puzzles and game pieces I had already worked so hard to separate. That has stuck with me. The rage he had, I have never forgot and I was just a kid. I'm 31. Throwing a tantrum isn't going to teach your kids a damn thing other than you are unstable.
To be fair! I watched a little girl throw a fit at Walmart once over some cereal I heard her whining about for over six aisles and mom turns around and tantrums harder. Kid stops immediately, looks confused and mortified and the mom says "Yeah. That's what I thought. I can play like that too." Had to laugh.
My mom got my dad to take off my bedroom door once. (I was 12 at the time). Guess what? I had gotten a screwdriver for my birthday and I'm my father's daughter. I unscrewed the bulbs in the lamps ever so slightly, loosened the clothes racks in their closets, and yes, took away the doors. Two days later, they gave me back my door and I went ahead and fixed everything. Violence isn't the answer. It's the question, and the answer is yes.
So basically, this parents response to a child throwing a tantrum, is to throw an even bigger tantrum? Riiightt.. e_e

Somehow This Sounds Like It Goes Beyond “Open And Honest”
I'm poly, I have kids. I would feel so disgusted with myself if my kids knew when I was having "fun time" with my partners. That is not something they need to know and, as the parent, it's on me to keep my private life private from them. Why do any parents, poly or monogamous, think this is funny???
Not judging, just stating, but most poly relationships are a mess and hardly a place for children. Not all, of course. I've met a few well adjusted poly people but for the most part they're just like horny teens when it comes to maturity and consideration of others.
As a poly person, I've unfortunately had similar experiences. Being poly doesn't mean "more adult fun times" which is what most people seem to think. That's just being in an open relationship. Poly means real relationships with multiple people. That takes communication, compassion, and emotional awareness. Something most people (monogamous or poly) seem to sorely lack in general 😬

Main point; always explain to your kid why you're going to beat the sh*t out of them, then pray with them together before the act. And after beating done, pray with them together again and thank God. If this is not pervert, then I really don't know what is.
I am generally amused by these "when I become a parent" comments, as they inevitably make it clear they have no idea what they are talking about. This one is no exception.
I don’t get the part about cutting down a willow branch?? Is that something people do/did?
Yeah. My grandma used to make her kids "go outside and cut me a switch", meaning a small, usually green, branch, which was then used to whip their backsides.

This Could Have Been A Text Message Or A Phone Call
I dunno, kid asked for consent and girl approved…maybe talk to your kid about why you’re not okay with it. Your child might consider your feelings and listen to you…ya know…could do it.
There I'd no right for the mother to decide what her daughter likes and wants and what not. Refusing her daughters wishes will put the girl in serious trouble, resulting in worst case to put ger own desires behind the exceptions her mother holds on her. Toxic.
Load More Replies...I don't know how old these kids are, but whatever age, Girl Mum seeming to post this publicly to Boys Mum is very weird indeed.
This Doesn't Seem Like An Appropriate Way To Break This To Your Child
Hey sweetie, I know you won’t recall your father and I being together, but I’ve preserved this here in digital amber so that when you’re in about the seventh grade or older you can easily piece together we broke up because I was ready to start shagging other people, but I had to couch my obvious sexual desires in evasive nonsense because your dad would’ve killed us and then himself if we didn’t let him think he was moving on first. Anyway we obviously got through that and we still love you very much!!!
Digital amber - I love that so I'm stealing it

Because the parent has to be braindead to think a fever in a child is fine. Obvious Starbucks was more important.
Load More Replies...I know that we're not really used to that kind of things nowdays, but... Have you ever heard of preventive mesures?
Don't leave kids in your car, especially if they're sick. Like Megan said, use delivery.

I hope one day "Mom" is on the receiving end of such tough love from the kid.
It literally wouldn't cost her anything more to go to the employees inside and explain what happened. They would remake the meal, especially if they knew it was for a kid.
Not only can she not parent properly, it seems stringing together coherent sentences is beyond her, as well.
My first thought after reading this was "Beware of the Blob".
Every Parent Thinks Their Kid Is Special. Then There's This Guy
Well MY baby was predicting meteorological phenomenon by 9 months old!
Load More Replies...And then the meteorologists clapped and promised that when his son came of age he would become the Meteorology King.
Well, at least they didn't call the priest for an exorcism. Kinda expected it after all these posts.
Negligent Parents Taking 7 Year Old To A Rave
I actually don't see the problem. All ages shows are very different from 21+ raves.
"give her kandi if you want". Sure. Inviting adults at a rave to give your kid stuff.
Load More Replies...Yeah I don't see the issue if it's all ages and she's protecting her ears.
I think people are getting wound up over this one because of the whole "kandi" thing. It's not bad folks, just bead bracelets. I actually went to an all ages "rave" with my 15 y/o niece and it was honestly almost like going to a high school prom. Very underage friendly, no alcohol, not bad at all.
honestly this is perfectly fine. she has ear protection, her parents will be there, and it's an all ages rave. and don't worry, kandi is a type of plastic bead
This one isnt that bad. Its an all age show, and to everyone concerned about kandi, Kandi is a type of fun jewelry! Its another word for pony beads. Not drugs! They are popular in raves to trade and give away. Super fun!
some of these are less "destroying on social media" and more actual cases of abuse that should be reported.
thanks for yet another horrific & depressing list to make me lose even more faith in humanity, bp. child abuse is toooootally the kind of content i come here for. /s
Like so much of BP, this is merely a subreddit discourse/dialogue that was appropriated by BP for LISTertainment. Often times, these message threads or conversations on Reddit have a socially redeeming value. That BP “lifts” them for a “readers digest” buzzfeed type lists can often be problematic. I agree that out of context of the originally published discourse, used for entertainment here, it isn’t always positive or healthy. I tend to read these horrible lists here then go to the original conversation on Reddit to discern what that dialogue is about. That way I don’t feel like I’m solely participating in being a bystander or using them schadenfreude and instead gain insight and knowledge from the intended context.
Load More Replies...Should have a trigger warning. I'm not sure I can think of any good reason to have published this list. Anyone who's entertained by it shouldn't have encouragement for sick behaviors towards kids, or solidarity and justification for the way they act. Everyone else is only horrified and made upset. We weren't told if any abusers were stopped and kids helped, there were no tips on how to help such situations or how to look for signs of abuse etc., nothing here that helps make the world a little better.
exactly what i said up above, i'm glad to see someone else agrees. some of these posts would be useful in a psa about overlooked signs of abuse, but that isn't what this is. bp isn't the platform to be posting evidence of child abuse. it sickens me that an entertainment site is compiling such awful things. i can't believe someone tried to pull the "if you don't like it, why'd you click it?" on me in a reply. it's child abuse! why would anyone support that being publicly shared for someone's sick enjoyment?!
Load More Replies...Couldn't read through it. It was just awful. Since when is child abuse funny and/or entertaining? More feel good content and less of this please!
Yup. I wanted to do a lot of punching and yelling about how wrong and horrible they are. I'd hardly be setting a good example... but it might make them see how it feels?

I hate posts like this because it makes me have to say nice things about my brother. Like damn, I have to admit he's actually a good parent because he's not like these people
There are "degrees" of child abuse, but this is not s contest. Any level of abuse is abuse and should not be tolerated. It's true that some parents burn their babies with cigarettes or beat their kids to death. Yes. True. But that doesn't make the situations in the post less terrible. Child abuse can take different forms, but the consequences won't be less serious.
