I Have Random Thoughts
When the parents abandoned the child for an hour to make him realise his mistake they forgot that a child doesn't even know what's right and what's wrong and that the child would ask for forgiveness not because he was necessarily wrong but he thought his parents are always right. And this belief would become so deep seated in the subconscious that he won't even realize how it would control him when he grows up. This is manipulation and sad but no one is to be blamed because the parents were themselves manipulated and weren't able to realise and cure it.
