Yup! The parents will probably just tell the kids "shut up, it wasn't real, go back to sleep you pussy"
And then wonder why their kids don't speak to them anymore when they're adults.
The kinds of parents that love the attention posting their traumatized kids online gives them are the same parents that will love the sympathy attention from the bleeding hearts that feel sorry for them once their child grows and goes no contact.
Or they're, and wait till the end so you don't miss it, fucking normal healthy children and this is a harmless prank and if IF it scars 1 in a million that's life baby! Stop this "won't someone think of the children!" Mentally you sound just like Mumsnet.. fucks sake.
My lil brother got locked in the bathroom, BY MISTAKE, by my uncle, and it was a poor experience for all three of us. The door opened only from the inside or something and my ~4 year old brother couldn't figure it out. Can't imagine pulling a ghost prank in that situation.
I get it. I love watching videos of little kids getting scared, they look so cute. This is too much for me, there was genuine terror in their eyes. It's funny with the older kids but not the younger ones, they're too impressionable. I bet you anything a lot of those kids are gonna be too scared to use the bathroom by themselves for a while
I watched The Grudge and The Ring when I was a little too young and had some issues sleeping for a bit after that. But I grew out of it and don’t resent my parents for letting me watch. But I’m sure that’s not the case with everyone
I watched the Ring as an adult and I was unable to sleep for weeks. When we become elderly sometimes alzeimers makes you see the things you used to watch a lot when you were younger. No thank you. I'm not watching that stuff anymore so I can hallucinate nicer things when I'm too old.
It's not a single incident. Youre right. One thing, probably nothing. But if this is a pattern of behavior of getting kicks at your child's expense, no matter how physically harmless, that stands to build resentment.
It isn't, a couple of scares is healthy for kids as a fact from scientific studies I learned from a professor. This isn't serious, it's just pranks. Why projects your own life to the children? They're not you, their parents aren't the same as your parents

These parents will complain when their kids can’t sleep and hate them in later life.
