Some 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.

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.

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.

You won what exactly? 1st prize for being a shitty parent? Even your 9 year old knows that that's abuse and that he should call the cops on you. You let your 9 year old beg your wife to please stop the abuse. You succesfully dominated a small child so hooray for you then? And unless you beat her your wife sucks too for letting you do this to your child

I had a father like this, and all I can tell this father is my final words to him were, "If I'm somehow in your final affairs, remove me. That way nobody even feels the need to tell me the day you die. It'll be just one more day I don't have to think about you." They grow up, old man. And you'll only grow weaker.

My husband was as big an a**hole as this man. He's passed away from cancer now. However, it's me I can't forgive for not standing up to him. He was a bully, as is this jerk. Bullies don't get better, they only get worse. Your wife, OP, needs to divorce you before you destroy her and your son. Bullies die bitter and alone. There are no accolades for cruelty. And if someday your son has children, you, OP, will be the last one he wants around them.

If a kid is hungry they will eat. Never force your child to eat but, instead find out if they aren't feeling well. This IS a form of abuse. As adults, we know if we are full or not feeling right we don't eat. Your child is this smart too.

He WON! Hate to break it to you, mate, but there is nothing to win - only everything to lose. As you have just lost the trust of you son, the love of your wife and the respect of the whole internet. He is bullying his child AND his wife. Moreover, I am sure this was not the first time because otherwise the wife should have put her foot down and ended that pathetisch farce there and then. Most probably he has already gaslighted her into believing that he is always the one to have the final say...

I hated tomatoes and my dad told me to sit until I ate a small piece. I finally took a little bit and threw up. He never did it again. Took me many decades but I gradually started to eat them. Everyone has likes and dislikes. This parent must have them too but I bet he never has to eat them.

For whatever reason he didn’t want to eat, so what? Your idea of discipline overfed him, upset him, and will lead to an eating disorder. I’m surprised your wife is still with you after that’s done.

Our parents made us taste the food, not finish it if we didn’t like it. Many flavours are an acquired taste which takes 8 or more tries for taste buds to truly recognise so the brain can then really identify it as either something one really doesn’t like or simply needed the chance to get familiar with and like/appreciate. Some foods I found disgusting as a kid are now items that I buy for myself because I love them, such as olives, Mediterranean meals with cilantro, a variety of veggies…. So yes if your kid is healthy then please make sure your child tastes foods you know (s)he isn’t allergic to in an effort to foster food appreciation but NEVER force feed like this awful OP did because that is child abuse.

Ngl, I used to have "power struggles" with my oldest when he was younger. So I kinda get where this dad is coming from. I've changed my ways since then. No one really wins in a power struggle.

I bet the parents aren't educated and were not ready for a child. This kind of behavior is a clear indication of bullying. It's best for cops to intervene. It could be traumatic continuing like this.

There are very well educated people that make horrible, abusive, shitty parents. And uneducated people aren't the only people who bully. Also, it clearly says the mother didn't want this to continue. She knew it was wrong. Now, most people would do their best to stop it, and maybe she did more than what he says and he's leaving that part out because it ruins his "win" in the story. Not to mention if he treats his child this way, we have no idea what he is like with his wife.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

"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. 

ADVERTISEMENT

"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.

BeastaBubbles Report

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.

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.

"We have an experienced team that communicates with each other about moderation and policy issues and our community can be funny and empathetic. Like with all social media it has its downsides in that sometimes negative things get posted but all in all the good far outweighs the bad," the redditor shared with us.

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.

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.

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

"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.

"Your instincts can usually tell you when something is made up, and old-fashioned online sleuthing can usually confirm it," Mike told Bored Panda.
