Well maybe it's because I've been through a VERY similar situation as a child. I won't go into details but.... I don't know, I mean a parent like that usually does a lot worse than just doing that, I mean that was just a small part of the stuff I went through. So focusing on a single act rather than the traits of a bad parent, and how that affects the children... In light of everything else that incident is probably the least we should worry about. It's just a symptom of what the parent is capable of.Yet another person more concerned with the vermin than the human. Sad.
