I wish child abuse/neglect was illegal.
Yeah truth. Child abuse and neglect are perfectly legal and in some cases even sanctioned by the state, as long as it's the "right" kind of abuse.
I'm barely alive and my parents are fine, if they were abusive I'd be long dead. I'm sure the legislators are very sad I survived.
I had good parents too, and it was still absolute hell growing up here
I've never had kids of my own, but I can't fathom making one's own child feel invalid in any way, much less neglecting their health and well-being
