A lot is unknown in this instance but I think the kids these days have a different mindset. With us being from an older generation we probably never thought of beatings as abuse unless it was extreme; even thought at times it probably was. We also never thought of reporting what happened to us an option.
I think the kids these days may not be less loyal but have more of an understanding of their surroundings and how they are raised compared to others. I'm sure more will come out about what happened in this situation.
this is a good point,
but it also depends on the parent and the kid.
the understanding these kids have is not always healthy.
case and point.....these a thing that was going on here in switzerland.
if a kid says they were abused they get taken out the home until the investigation is over. the parent must pay for the child to stay at a boarding school.
at the boarding school, they can go wild(smoke, fuck, drink, stay out late cuz who the teachers gonna tell?) and continue to say they are not comfortable going home, because at 12 they say the kid has the same rights as adults.
but these kids saw the loophole and it was hella kids in boarding schools and parents going broke left an right. teen pregnancy and drug use went up along with stupid teen crimes. kids straight up telling they parents fuck you and the parent could do nothing.
it reached the right people and the law was changed. it was changed because once it was looked into....they saw a pattern.
kids are not stupid...but once they dont have the healthy fear of home.......its nothing the world can do.
they will always be looking for the out to skate accountability.
this is not speaking on kids who are abused tho.
but what kid knows what abuse is and isnt?
lotta folk gender fluid now too.....
