Line 200:
* The central theme of the ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' alternate universe fancomic [http://zarla.deviantart.com/gallery/#Les-Enfants-Terribles "Les Enfants Terribles"] is Big Boss's absolutely dreadful parenting of his clone children, and of [[The Unfavorite|Liquid Snake]] in particular.

* Monette of ''[[Something *Positive]]'', discussing her [[Disappeared Dad]]: "He spent the first six months of my life battling my mother for custody of all of us, and when he got it, he took my sisters and dumped me on my grandma's doorstep. And she wasn't even there! She was on vacation. And she raised pitbulls at her house [...] He had tied raw, bloody steaks to my head." Her grandmother wasn't much better, [http://somethingpositive.net/sp11302004.shtml as we see in her recounting of childhood Christmases]. Meanwhile, Jason's father is a psychiatrist who "used his field of study to bully children" and abandoned the family when he got bored with them. Before that, he was emotionally abusive towards them in a number of ways, including "giving me invoices for how much love I owed him per week. That wasn't so bad, but man did the audits suck."
** Inverted with Ollie, whose implied history of sexually servicing his psychopathic uncle [[Complete Monster|Avogadro]] was apparently an ''improvement'' over life with his own violent, two-faced father.
* ''[[Achewood]]'''s Roast Beef, who "comes from circumstances".
Line 234:
** And in "Joint Custody", Jeff's dad frames him for a drug run and then tries to collect the bounty.
{{quote|'''Jeff:''' You're wrong about my dad. He cares more about me than anything.
'''Jeff's Dad:''' (to the police) There's your criminal. Just give me the money. That's all I care about - money. [[Kick the Dog|Not Jeff]], [[Department of Redundancy Department|money]].
'''Jeff:''' See? [[Double Take|Wait]]. [[Stoners Are Funny|Am I Jeff or money?]] }}
* This is a huge part of the humor of ''[[Moral Orel]]'', for the first two seasons. After that, it quickly stops being funny.
Line 286:
* Uncle Ruckus from ''[[The Boondocks]]'' was abused both physically and verbally for most of his childhood; according to him when his parents found him as a doorstep baby his father stepped on him, he beat him almost every single day for even the silliest reasons, and he threw him out of the house at a young age to fend for himself along the way he plowed his face through a fence, made him step in a bear trap, and smashed his face into a pole, deforming him.
{{quote|'''Huey''': That's, like... Academy Award-''nominated'' sad.}}
* The ''entire'' childhood of [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents|Timmy Turner]] can to be considered to this way. Especially as that is why children get Fairy Godparent assigned to them in the first place.
* [[Unreliable Narrator|According to Pinkie Pie]] of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', she grew up on a rock farm. A '''rock farm''', where she and her family worked all day moving rocks around for no particular reason — some of which were about the same size as Pinkie herself at the time. Abuse didn't seem to be the intention, but the effect was about as soul-crushing as you'd expect.
** [[Sarcasm Mode|Nothing like a Puritan upbringing.]]
