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.

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.

    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.

    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

    This is how some people develop borderline personality disorder. No there isn't proof of exactly why some people do, but a lot of folks who have it, their childhoods were very similar to this. I'm disgusted this is emotional / mental abuse. Child welfare needs to be called.

    There are so many layers of awful here that I wanna puke. Parent is basically manipulating their child into breaking the rules just so that they can punish her for breaking the rules. Especially since the daughter knows she's not supposed to fight back and is supposed to be respectful so this so-called parent uses that as an opportunity to hurt the daughter, whether or not she does fight back. This kid needs help, stat. I really hope she has supportive people to get her to a safer environment. This is just so, so wrong

    Oh man, this sounds like my step dad on a good day. I have had to work really freakin hard to unlearn what impact this kind of trauma had on me. 33 and still working on it actually, that’s the result of emotional And verbal abuse. Low self worth, belief that the only way to be accepted is to please others, anxiety and PTSD, and the in ability to trust instincts of danger. That impacts everything as an adult, particularly romantic relationships. This author should be ashamed of himself. I hope she grows up and realises how inappropriate this idiots behaviour is and let’s him rot in a nursing home alone somewhere when old and vulnerable. TFW!

    I bet that's what her husband does with her and she takes it out on the child. Horrible. Not saying that's definitely the case but I've heard similar stories about this type of behavior where the mom couldn't stand up to the father, learning to know her place and therefore started abusing the children in the same manner. Absolutely disgusting. I hope the girl finds a way to get out.

    This child will run off with the first boy who is nice to her, possibly have a child herself way to young. She doesnt get the love and nurturing she needs and deserves so she will create it elsewhere. Then the parent will feel justified for disowning her because she is a bad kid. I truly hope this little girl has some other adult in her life who loves her.

    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.

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    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.
