So yes, parents that intentionally scare their children are some of the worst pieces of shite on the planet.



What? No.

Kids at a certain age ENJOY being scared. I think in that tween stage.
My kids are constantly begging to be told scary stories. There’s an excitement in being scared.

Fear is a useful tool. I think scaring kids to teach a lesson can be effective. Or scaring them in good fun.

Now truly terrifying them for the gratification of others online? Kind of screwed up.

There's a difference between being scared and being traumatized. Some of these kids sob uncontrollably at these "pranks". The only person enjoying it is the parent.
