40 Times People Outed Themselves As Awful Parents After They Humiliated Their Kids
Interview
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.

Parenting Done Right
Raven DeathShade 4 years ago
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.

So she’s rude and disrespectful? You’re apparently loud enough to wake her up. And you just can’t be quiet? Yuk.

Oh Sure, Just Publicly Shame Your Kid Online
Vetus Vespertilio 4 years ago
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.

I Want My 7 Year Old Child To Be Called Andrew Not Andy
AJJ 4 years ago
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.

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.
