Hey, can the person who put the Sweden example for Financial Abuse explain what specifically happens when they turn 15? Do they have to pay all the fines? Do they become uninsurable? Both? Something else?

Why on Earth was the neglect section of abusive parents removed?

Never mind. I found there was a separate section on negligence.

So, this troper, cub, described Joyce from Buffy The Vampire Slayer as the worst mother on tv since Livia Soprano (and compared her to Andra Yates in their edit reasons). Have not watched the show (I know, what am I doing on this site?) but I can still tell that this is a massive overreaction. Sounds like the character is oblivious, but that's pretty typical of parents in series that have The Masquerade.

How come no-one's made a trope for the inverse of Abusive Parents?They do exist in fiction(such as Vicky from Fairly Odd Parents)

I don't think 'raising your child without exposure to TV' should be mentioned, since that doesn't sound at all like abuse. I'd argue that some may see it as sheltering them, but there's certainly nothing wrong with not letting your kids watch TV. Think it should be taken off the page?

Considering that (contrary to popular belief) TV is not an essential for survival and health, I'd say calling "no TV for the kids" abusive is definitely stretching the definition of "abuse". I'd support this.
