The parents allow this abuse for their own benefit to ego and bank account. The same parent mental defects cause child beauty pageants, obsessive participation in sports, Munchausen, gender reassignment, or just allowing Kaylee to dress like whore at 14. I'd even equate buying little Timmy a new Mustang when he turns 16 so that he has the best chance to fuck the prom queen, something Dad was never able to do but desperately wanted to. Living through or off of your child is sick. Pedos *et al*. know how to take advantage of this sickness.
