I read the article. But what did they do? It didn’t say.
I only watched about two minutes of one. The mom poured "magic disappearing ink" on the carpet of her little boy's room, then screamed at him like a prison guard, with the father joining in the accusatory screaming, while the child sobbed anxiously, insisting he hadn't done it. The child was terrorized, begging them to believe him. That was enough for me.
Emotional abuse is never just a prank. Clearly they don't understand their responsibilities to protect, encourage, teach, inspire, strengthen and calmly discipline their children, not break them. And never lie to them and trick them, or they will not be able to trust any intimate partner or spouse later on. And most children repeat what they have experienced, sometimes turning up the heat onto the next victim.
A home for small children should not be like Parris Island.
