** Although {{spoiler|Yukito's probably the only one that would understand what's going on, anyway. And she might not have been abandoned, there's the whole two timeline thing going}}.
* ''[[Loveless]]'' avoids the common partner trope to this, [[There Are No Therapists]], by having Ritsuka go see one regularly to help with his personality change. However, it is very evident to nearly every adult that sees him in the first volume that he is being both physically and mentally abused by his mother and no one does anything about it! While his home room teacher attempts to help him out by trying to meet his parents, she is discouraged from doing so by Soubi and her faculty, and she generally has little to no success. This could be an example of Japanese social mores at work here, priding the notion of a person caring for themselves and outside help is unwelcome, making this a case of [[Values Dissonance]], but still...
* In the English language[[Gag versionDub]] of ''[[ShinCrayon ChanShin-chan]]'', Penny's father is physically abusive to Penny and her mother. Even though the police and school administrators know about it, nobody does anything.
** Misae/Mitsy in both versions. If Shin badmouths her or just happens to be in the wrong place in the wrong time, she whacks him. One example occurs in an episode where Hima kept trying to steal a magazine Misae was trying to read. After she discovers that Hima drew in it, what does she do? Does she scold Hima? Hell no! [[Kick the Dog|She hits Shin for no reason, even though he just got home.]]
* In ''[[Hell Girl|Hell Girl: The Cauldron of Three]]'', the protagonist Yuzuki's {{spoiler|mother was allowed to die of wasting illness untended because her dead husband was (wrongfully) despised for causing the accident in which he died, despite little Yuzuki begging for help from neighbors and hospitals. And then [[Dead All Along|allowed orphaned little Yuzuki to die alone, filling her soul with such hatred and denial that she became a candidate for following in Hell Girl's footsteps.]]}}
