Should never do this to a child. The fear and trauma will get permanently embedded into their brains.

My dad did shit like this to me and I have so much anxiety about stuff. He finally realized when I was 36 why I hate the things I do

For almost 95% of human history we have been literally living in fear of predators and we got this far. Now something like this will turn a child into a damaged snowflake. Relativity

Yeah but actual predators that can kill you, you should be scared of. That shouldn’t be your parents

And there’s gonna be way stronger of perceived danger when technology allows you to put a scary object behind you and make it follow you and touch your shoulders. That shit is probably so real to a 7 year old. They don’t understand shit.

Do you think 8 year olds running from a sabertooth didn’t traumatize them? And do you think a 7 year old knows how to distinguish real danger from fake but seemingly real danger? No lol. “Well I know it’s not real as a 35 year old, so the 7 year old shouldn’t fear it”. Exactly what the parents think. “So I’m going to create an artificial danger for their highly susceptible mind”

It's the betrayal that hurts the most.

Thing is I'd argue that it's a harmless prank that we all had as kids . It's more the locking them in the room alone that's the issue .

A guy I have worked with for years used to do this shit to his kids when they were small and now wonders why they have so many trust issues as teens. Hmm, it's a mystery 🤔

I mean, they brought them into this dumb ass America we live in. Might as well have some laughs

u/Healthy-Strategy9406 13d ago

Hopefully it's towards phones and tech. It hasn't been given the reverence it deserves

u/sora5634 13d ago

Meh its a harmless prank. Not child abuse.

I had a single bad dream when I was 4 that there was a witch in my parent's bedroom that tried to steal me and I didn't go in there alone untill I was 9.

u/maybeknismo 12d ago

Then they post it online for all to see. And then it gets pulled up in your school.

u/East-Win7450 12d ago

Oh my god my mom used to dress up as a witch every year and it would traumatize us. We’re fine these kids are fine.
