"Beaten and abused, but what if the bully is your own child? Many parents are living in fear of their children, but are too ashamed to ask for help, says a leading British charity. Why?"

BBC News - Abused by their own children (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8366113.stm)

I see this happening in my own community in a smaller scale, but some kids really do abuse their parents emotionally and some even physically.
Who is to blame, did the parents help their own kids become tyrants?
Is this happening where you are?





..

did the parents help their own kids become tyrants? Emphatic YES! Children aren't predisposed to bully their parents, they learned that trait, either through imitating what they have seen at home or acting out from a sense of desperation.

I agree Need.

I think parents give in to child's every whim without any moderation and end up being abused by the kids themselves.
Parental methods of upbringing their children is to be questioned.

I have also noticed that the more rights children have legally, the less parental rights matter.
