I have been reading these stories. With so many of them being over ten years old, I am wondering if these are parents are actually unable to care for their children or if these are parents who are having trouble with their teenagers/pre-teens who are beginning to find out who they are and trying to find boundaries. Teenagers and pre-teens are not going through the easiest phase and its a hard time to parent. The children often are trying to figure out what they are doing and what will be problematic. The parents are then faced with a fuzzy line of their children not being children anymore and trying to push away from the identity the parents gave the kids.

No I'm not a parent. My mom and I have talked about this very often. She studied this age range and psychology.

So the basis of my nice little rant is: Are the parents just fed up with the teenagers or are they actually unable to care for their children?
