This has become (one of) my pet peeve issues. Like honestly what is wrong with these people. Would you ever force an adult to hug or kiss you? Would you ever smack an adult because they were talking back? NO? SO WHY WOULD YOU DO IT TO A SMALL CHILD?

alternatively, if you would do it to an adult, your parents failed you.

Working in childcare made this a number one issue for me. The biggest manifestation of it for me personally was parents ignoring their kids obvious needs and parental rights/perogative being used as a shield. Had a couple kids with obvious autism have it neglected, kids with emotional issues, one with a REALLY obvious learning disability. It went on. So many shitty parents in denial.
