You are going to believe a site called the Onion.......try mainstream publications, esp. medical journals. This is pure hype.

This is too funny - once I read "It documents abuses ranging from less severe offenses, such as children being denied snacks just before dinner, to more egregious, long-term cases of neglect, such as never ever getting what they want, ever.", I was looking forward to smiling more and more at the subsequent paragraphs.
A wonderful example of modern tongue-in-cheek comedy.

Oops! I meant to leave my comment, "Simply shocking! ;-) ", here instead of on the following "Pipe cleaners...cut from school budget" one (also from the Onion): http://www.care2.com/news/member/533666814/458626

Simply shocking! ;-) I'll bet a lot of us have been "abused" by such mean, horrible parents. LOL
