Unpopular opinion: Our children are gifts, they are the future, not here for our amusement or to be terrorized. This is pathetic.

Maybe not in the legal definition, but every one of these parents just permanently lost their kids trust

You cannot repair that, this is absolutely not how you raise kids

You saying that made me think of this.

I saw a thing once, where someone talked about how as we grow up we learn not to trust society, cause as an adult you find out everyone was lying to you about the Easter bunny and Santa Claus, if society will come together to lie about these goofy things why wouldn't they also lie about more serious things.

Honestly, ever since I heard that, I have looked at holidays differently.

Edit: am I remembering a George Carlin set?
