In the past 2 summes I've worked at summer camps/enrichments for children. One was geared toward special needs and the other toward poor/neglected children. And I've noticed at both camps all the kids seem to be very loud, rambacious, and prone to rule breaking. So are parents more neglectful these days and does it depend on social class as well as how the parents treat the children? And also I know a couple of very young kids who were neglected by their mother who didn't put them first and forced family members to take care of them. It irks me so.

Keep in mind that by working in these camps you are not seeing all of the great kids out there who are thriving despite odds seemingly stacked against them. Special needs kids are what they are, and the parents of the other "poor" kids as you call them are reaching out for help the best they can. You should try to not pass judgment on them. As a parent, all we can do is try.

i do no longer think of it particularly is purely having an coincidence yet while a baby has lots of them each and all the time then there is a few thing to think of approximately. I relatively have 4 boys and that i'm exceedingly lax and permit them to skateboard, experience motorcycles on the line, etc...the base line is the thank you to do those issues in a secure way utilising helmets and pads. i will anticipate my hands between all 4 boys what number injuries they have had that have been extreme sufficient to warrant a circulate to to the wellbeing practitioner or wellbeing center. and relatively a number of the biggest ones have been while i grow to be no longer around as an occasion my 12 year previous grow to be at his pals abode at age 10 while he fell out of a tree they have been mountaineering and broke his arm. He grow to be in school while he fell off the jungle gym and broke the growth plate in his knee. So besides my factor is, injuries take place and a mothers and dads duty is to coach their baby the thank you to be secure and permit them the liberty to locate and have relaxing is relatively. If a baby is going to the ER consistently for cuts and broken bones and issues then yea it particularly is seen neglectful or suspicious.

I think there are more neglectful parents than in the past. I don't know that it really depends on social class-I know plenty of parents who have no money problems and yet aren't exactly the best parents in the world.

yes there are neglectful parents. however, you have to look at the surrounds that you are in and what types of children come to these camps. you stated that these camps are for special needs and neglected children, of course they are going to have behavior problems. neglect know no class of people. rich people can neglect just as well as poor people.

I think they are more neglectful than past generations of parents.
Some people just arent fit to be parents, like I know some teens who have parents who get high with their kids.....and that is very sick to me, and other parents who dont give a **** what their kids do and they go to bars and drink their lives away, then on the other hand I have met great parents.

Yes there area, and I've seen and heard things that would make you cry. The other day my husband and i were sitting on our porch when we heard a very young child scream No mommy no! Then we heard beating, from across the street! the child was screaming and crying i grabbed my phone to call the police and then it was silence. Turns out it was a 3 year old boy she had beaten unconscious. This made me very upset. I always her people call their kids stupid and other names and even smack them around in public. I wish people like that would grow up and not have kids or give them up to people that want them, and won't hurt them their whole life.

There have always been neglectful parents just 100 years ago they would sell unwanted children to work in factories.

Yes and no,
yes we are neglectful because we do not spend enough time with them. (american life)
we should vote out the 8 hour work day and vote in the 6 hour work day.
this would put more people to work and give us more time with our children.
couldn't pay your bills?..........sure you would EVERYTHING comes down to YOUR/ OUR pocket books..............make more charge more............make less, charge less.

no, it does not have to do with social class.
It has to with parents on how they raise their kids.
I know some well off paeople who have very very bratty kids
