The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The fate of a child is in the hands of his parents.
It's quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger.
Never underestimate a child's ability to get into more trouble.
The reason why parents mistreat their children has less to do with character and temperament than with the fact that they were mistreated themselves and were not permitted to defend themselves.
Responsibility for the proper conduct of children was not confined to their parents only. When they misbehaved, they misbehaved against the community. And a senior member of the community was expected to do something about it.
It is the uninvolved parent who has to resort to strictness.
There is an essential difference between someone who harms a child on purpose and someone who harms a child by accident during combat in civilian territory.
I don't advocate any child following in their parent's footsteps when their parent's footsteps are as crooked as mine are.
Child abuse and neglect offend the basic values of our state. We have a responsibility to provide safe settings for at-risk children and facilitate permanent placement for children who cannot return home.
An overzealous parent is just one example of the kind of Problem Mom or Dad who pops up at track meets, threatening to put a damper on the day.
