Parents who curse at young children.?

Question

I seen this woman yank her toddler by the hair and called her a b**ch. That's not the first time I seen that type of behavior in public. I seen one mother who yelled to her son "get over here before I f**k you up" Such horrible mothers. What are they teaching their children? If I had my way, I'd take the kids away from them and give them to someone who well treat them better.

I think some parents don't know the boundaries between discipline and abuse. I also think some people don't have any patience for children. Why have them? Condoms, what a wonderful invention.

How do you feel about parents who talk to their kids this way.

Answer 1

idk, but i have a 4 year old that i babysit for, and sometimes he stays at his moms stepmoms house, and she does this, and hes started to become very violent (part of which i blame on daddy because he lets him watch wrestling, and some questionable movies) and hes been cursing himself. weve told him not to say those words, but he continues and now every time he says something like that we spank him, trying to teach him that those are not nice words.

Answer 2

I know what you mean. I almost can't stand to sit there and see that. The poor child! I feel so sorry for them. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior. The parent needs a serious butt whooping and a time out!

Answer 3

As innocent as children are, they are born to parents that don't have the patience and or understanding it takes to be the kind of parent a healthy, loving and secure child. Often times the person that can talk to a defenseless child that way has some serious problems and has likely been verbally abused and never felt loved by a parent. There is absolutely no excuse for it. Its horrible. That parent and child needs help. The child, like the parent, will have some self esteem issues and also not know how to respect or deal with other people. Its very sad but I've heard it to. When I'm in public and hear someone talking to their child like that. I give them a serious look so they'll realize that someone other than that child is being affected by their behavior. Most times I make a comment out loud directed at their ignorance. When you shine light on the faults or behavior of a person they see themselves in the mirror or hear what they're saying. Hopefully they will realize what they've done and not repeat this pattern of behavior. If they don't they need some prayer and professional help.

Answer 4

It makes me sick to know that they can have children (as many as the state will allow bennifets for) and know that good loving people are unable to have children!:(

Answer 5

I immediately think trailer trash.

People are fairly free to do what they want but people still have the freedom to think what they want to.

I think that's a low class person with a low IQ or poor quality education that speaks that way to anyone, children included.

It's rude, crass, stupid, and uncalled for.

Answer 6

Okay, in my opinion, you should never call your child names like that. That undermines their developing self-esteem; they're going to grow up thinking they ARE these terrible names their parents called them! That said, I must admit, I've slipped once in a while and used a bad word in my kids' presence -- but not in their direction. You are absolutely right about the boundaries between discipline and abuse. I think every parent should have to take a parenting course before their child is born.

Answer 7

Discipline is one thing but cursing at your children is another...   cussing at them only teaches them that it is okay to fly off the handle when you're frustrated... I HATE when people swear at or around kids

Answer 8

I agree with you that parents shouldn't curse at their children.  I'm only human and I get frustrated and yell at my 3 1/2 year old and then I go to her and apologize and hug her and tell her how much I love her and she forgives me.

Answer 9

Abuse is abuse. Verbally abusing and berating a child can and should be reported. If you see a woman yaking her child be the hair you need to call the police immediately. Do not wait and go home and call CPS, call the police which will respond immediately.  If this happens in public, imagine what happens at home behind closed doors!

Answer 10

I think that people should mind their own business and worry about their own kids.

Answer 11

i totally agree.  parents should understand that their responibility is to teach their chilren how to be good citizens and responsible people.  and cursing at them and possiblely causing emotional harm is NOT the way to go about it.  i thing they should be the ones having a harsh talking to.

Answer 12

I think they don't even deserve to have kids, and the kids should just go and call child abuse already, I feel so bad for them to be borned into the world with abusing parents. I just feel like going up the the parent and start yelling at them for doing that. it's cruel and they're just kids, aren't they? So what i ask is, why are they being treated this way???

Answer 13

Just because you see a child with an adult doesn't necessarily mean that this adult is the child's parent.   The adult may be a babysitter or a distant relative who doesn't care that much about the child's well-being.

That's why parents shouldn't entrust their children to others unless they really have to.

Answer 14

I agree 100%. I understand everyone has different parenting styles, but teaching them foul language at such a young age has no purpose. Theres a whole dictionary full of vocabulary that would be far better suited.

Answer 15

I often think the same thing. I also wonder why people judge other people, not knowing their whole story.

Answer 16

I yell GD all of the time, and "get your @$$ inside!" Are you a parent? :D

I have little patience for stupidity!

Also, based on the %, I am smarter than you, 155.88 for me VS. 21.2 correct for you, so go away and judge someone else now. :)

Answer 17

I do think that that is completely wrong. That is abuse. Probably the worst kind of abuse mental abuse. I think parents like that should have their children taken away and their mouths washed out with soap. If i would see something like that I would first take out the mother and then call the cops.

a. yanking a young child by the hair is physical abuse

b. calling her that is mental abuse

Answer 18

i know what you mean!! you feel like going up to them and having a go at them and walk away with their child!! but they wouldnt listen to you even if you did tell them and would only take there anger out on their kids!!

Answer 19

its just going to go through the years of the same behavior.  The kid will grow up to resent the parent, and when the parent is old and gray and dying, then they will try to apologize and make things right, which, by then, will have been too late.

Answer 20

:(

Answer 21

i agree..not everyone feels highly of themselves like u..u think ur better than everyone with kids..let me ask u..do u have kids?

Answer 22

I hate when parents do that i could see someone saying "stop acting like a b****" or  " stop f***ing doing that" in the privacy of their own home but when you do it in public its just plain wrong, and mean.....

Answer 23

It is very sad.  That is no way to talk to anyone, especially a child.  You are right, some people just shouldn't have children.

Answer 24

i totally agree they need a boundry

Answer 25

You should keep your nose out of others people lifes,  god I hate people who dont mind their own business

Answer 26

i think its stupid then they hate their life and cry alot then it might lead to something like suicide or running away so i think its horrible :P

Answer 27

although i agree that calling your litte girl a ***** is bad i wouldnt be so quick to yank kids from their families. i think more attention should be put on teaching proper parenting practices with the news and media.

Answer 28

Its horrible. My mom talked to us like that when we were kids. It does alot of damage to a kid to hear thier parents talk to them that way and to treat them like that.  I believe that parents should have to go thru parenting classes when they get pregnant. All parents should have to go. Hopefully it would teach alot of parents to be about mental, emotional as well as physical abuse and the long term effects on the children.

I dont think kids should have to grow up like that.

Answer 29

Those parents should not be raising their children like that because their children will grow up to become that or even worse. On the other hand, I would not do anything about that situation because I believe since they belong to the parents the parents can raise them anyway they like. Now, if I say a parent beating a child (other than spanking on the hand or behind) I would intervine and report them.

Answer 30

well i curse around my son but never @ him like that.....every once in a while if he falls i say" oh no him busted his a** " but never curse at him!! i would never call my son or any kids i may have in the future a B-word or say i will F them up!!!! i may say ima spank that a** but thats it!!

Answer 31

I think that is horrible!  Yeah and judging is human nature, especially when it comes to the treatment of children!
