- Values Dissonance:
- Most of Clare's work was in the 80s — mid-90s, so even good parents threaten their children with a spanking, which doesn't raise an eyebrow.
- In Somebody Come And Play, the children are left to play unsupervised for most of the day which isn't seen as neglectful as it would be now. It even becomes a plot point as none of the parents really see Nicole...
- The Woobie: Peter in Good Night Sweet Angel. Even before the antagonist sets to work, her mother is dead and her father isn't particularly nurturing.
