[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not know how common this is, but the one family I know is somewhat abusive to their kids. They beat their kids for small infractions, speak only bonce, do not really care about their needs. The parents are also not educated beyond high school.
Daughters are being raised to be housewives
Kids do a ton of chores, do not really know people their age, dress different from other young people, are not exposed to much. Parents control tv, internet, sensor teen magazines[/quote]

I have not encountered this personally, mostly just heard these types of stories either on the news or on reddit.

As I said in response to an earlier question from someone asking about a subreddit where abusive or neglectful homeschooling situations are discussed:
I definitely agree that homeschooling can be a cover for abusive parents. That is why I don't really agree with states who have no regulations for homeschoolers and think that some type of regulation-- such as a portfolio review-- is reasonable.

Something I didn't say before is that I also think that a law mandating that all children are seen by a mandatory reporter at least 1 time per year (such as a doctor, dentist, etc) is fine to ensure that there are other adults who see the children.[/quote]
