* [[https://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/2013/04/the-breaking-of-a-child-a-story-of-near-disaster.html This blog post]] features a particularly harrowing example in which a young toddler was denied food for more than ''two days'' because she wouldn't say "please". The submitter, the older sister of the child in question, posted the story to illustrate how some child-rearing methods can lead parents to do things that seem unthinkable while believing they're doing the right thing; in this case, the parents got stuck in a mindset where they interpreted the situation as the child willfully defying them and believed they ''had'' to follow through or else she'd become a SpoiledBrat (seemingly seeing the situation as akin to not giving in when a child is throwing a tantrum). [[note]]Looking back on it, the submitter posited that her sister might not have been ''able'' to comply -- their parents assumed that because she had said the word in the past, she'd be able to say it on command, but it's possible she wasn't quite at the point yet where she could intentionally produce that particular sound.[[/note]] Fortunately, the parents came to their senses before any permanent harm could be done.
