Sometimes there's a thin line between tough love and child abuse.

Because his parents abandoned him to live in the shed, Bubbles from TPB was definitely a victim of child abuse. That broke my heart.

@Prisoner1972 lmao..similar to a court case in the news right now: the adoptive parents who created a box to hold their teen, locked from the outside, bucket for restroom

@foldedunfolding limiting a kid's cell phone use is tough love. Locking a kid in a box is abuse.

@Prisoner1972 agreed.
