This, I think, is what's most disturbing about some of these cases; the "kids" are just as attached to the parents as the parents are to the kids. They've become completely dependent on mommy and/or daddy, and they don't mind if their parents call their teachers or join them for an interview. They see no problem with it.
I posted this story to my Facebook news feed and one of my friends started her comment with this:
"Parents drove me crazy when I worked at a college! I had a mom come and try to fill out the application and apply for her daughter because she 'didn't have time'..."
So sad (regardless of whether or not mom was telling the truth about why she was filling out the app instead of her daughter).
