Again, I am not going to suggest that someone should make a law against the people or ban them from their practice. At the same time, I am not going to give them a pass just because they think they are doing right by their children.
What they are doing borders on abusive behaviour... borders on it. I do focus on my family and I would hope that the example I provide will prevent my children and anyone who cares to learn from my example that the sorts of behavior exhibited by the parents in the OP are not only not necessary but wrong-headed in the worst way.
