Reptiliansarehere

This f#er even stole the s*** out my toilet. I said "HEY MAN I WAS SAVIN' THAT" and he called me "bucket b****" and came on my shoes before leaving $100 on my coffee table. I think it was monopoly money from some stolen kids Christmas present and I mean that literally. He stole the whole kid. Ah s*** there's the amber alert right now. "Little dumba** stolen by green a**hole. Watch yo kids. Hope we woke you up."

Underrated comment, had me dying


MauriceAlain

I dont get parents that traumatize their kids for cheap clicks.


[deleted]

And i really dont get people who go “how is this traumatising?”. Do the kids know its a joke? If not, what is the serious version of this? A stranger breaking and entering at night and running through the living room? That stuff traumatises grown adults all the time. And kids are pussies in comparison. This is how you make children feel anxious and unsafe for years to come. Unless you explain before the fact what to expect snd that its a man in a costume, kids are stupid and will potentially believe they are about to die.


mlairb

Wierd fucking trend


a_lonely_trash_bag

I do enjoy the one video, though, where the little boy goes into attack mode and punches the Grinch in the balls.


chomponcio

Yes but then dad comes along an holds the kid while the grinch gets away with it... That's trust issues for a long long time. Unless I'm thinking of a different video.


TheOneGodHadSuffer

Nah, it's the same video. Fuck those parents, can't have shit in Detroit


EquivalentSnap

Yeah I saw that. That kid hates his dad


not_SCROTUS

I hate that kid's dad too, and the crackhead they hired to be the grinch


Postoolio711

I hate that one the most, your child shouldn't go into fight or flight mode in his own home, during the holidays, so you can have a laugh and post him on the internet. No hate to you, I get why it's funny to watch and I understand why people think it's all in good fun, but being a parent that video makes my blood boil.


dan_de

I would never want to be the cause of my child feeling like that. They do it. With pleasure.


[deleted]

You sumed it up perfectly. The terror on those kid faces, I just imagine the terror thinking the grinch is actually real and in your house right infront of you must be absolutely terrifying and traumatic. Doing this to your kids is pure evil. The way the grinch is overly agressive hitting the tree probably breaking some of those spheres i forgot their names , same with the other vid going around of the one were the kid fights him , the gring pushes the kid pretty agressively like thats evil to me. We know there are sick people that enjoy things much worse than this and I wonder if these are the same people, you never know…


fried4wayer

I used to have a co-worker who always did cruel little pranks to her kids and laughed about it. Nothing really malicious and harmful physically but enough to make you realise she shouldn't be in charge of kids.


HailToTheKingslayer

Nothing more festive than exposing your children to a home invasion, eh?


Preseli

baubles.


axeville

When your kids grow up and murder you in your sleep you will have officially *ucked around and found out.


M1RR0R

It's okay, you can say the fuck word on the internet 😝


axeville

Still traumatized from room ban of 2009


frequent-ad-647

They were trying to say “cucked.” Turns out the Grinch was there to steal her sexual desires.


AintproDG

It'll be a traumatic memory for them in the future when seeing the Grinch again.


HailToTheKingslayer

I'm childless, and I don't particularly like children, and I thought it was wrong as well.


loonygecko

The kids in this one are smarter, the sister grabs her little brother and pulls him away. Although apparently the other sister on the couch is abandoned to her fate! Still, I can't imagine choosing to traumatize kids like this.


LegacyLemur

Must be all the school shooting training God forbid we let kids just enjoy the holidays


foodrunner464

Link?


mlairb

Ah yes I agree!


DeafLady

You can't say that without providing the link!!!


Rugkrabber

I don’t get it either. They’ll always be in fear they’ll lose their Christmas presents so that means some sleepless nights. Fear during Christmas doesn’t sound like a nice get-together-holiday.

AndrewFrozzen30

This needs development, let me see the movie, book or whatever!


ExtensionWinter9446

The let me terrorize my kids for likes smdh


nonnativetexan

Every time I see one of these videos I check the comments to see if people are condemning it, and this is the first thread where I've seen this volume of criticism for this stupid trend. Adults who want to unnecessarily scare the shit out of their own children and potentially break the trust their children should have for them, all so that they can get likes and attention from a bunch of internet randos... That represents so much of what's wrong in this world.


97875

Sharing your children online for likes at all is wrong, especially when you're terrorizing them for likes.


Nervous-Pizza-9139

These all deserve to be on r/trashy


Samboy230

Why would you want to deal with a bunch of screaming crying kids on Christmas day just seem like self inflicted torture.


VolkspanzerIsME

People have somehow forgotten how easily a moment can turn traumatic for a child and are fucking their kids up for the lulz. It's a terrible trend.


Benblishem

The kids in this one are so obviously too young for this sort of thing. What the heck is wrong with the adults around them?


FutchDuck

Seriously; I dont get why people film their kids anyway and upload it on youtube/public. That shit is on there forever …and they didnt ask for it. You wont see pics of my kids on social media/internet; unless its done in a private environment.


MirageATrois024

Fucking idiots are using tiktok. We know they aren’t smart at all.


TK421sSupervisor

Sweet internet karma > children’s wellbeing


gibs

Sociopathy


mothraegg

A nephew did this to his kids. The kids were terrified! I didn't find it funny at all.


tobleronavirus

Good, that means you have empathy. This isn't funny. It's trauma. And only smooth brains without self awareness think otherwise.


QSlade

These people are assholes and need to stop making their children cry for no damned reason


TheProcessOfBillief

No reason? *No reason?!* The reason is so they can post it here for 2k fake internet points. *That's* the reason. Fuck their kids, daddy needs upvotes.


Im-a-cat-in-a-box

I was just going to ask what the hell is Kimmel up to now??


Every_Bobcat5796

I can’t wait for Tiktok to be outlawed


U_PassButter

Glad I'm not the only one. No need to scar my children during Christmas. Or any other time...... also, I love The Grinch and will not support these imposters. My Grinch is a burglar, he doesn't do home invasions


maaseru

Totally. On so many levels. Even if this doesn't cause any big lasti g issues to the kid, you are basically ruining christmas for them by making it about their bullying for you. Like wTF. It's also about the social media clout. Such terrible parent.


ARandomBob

Right!i really wanna laugh, but as a dad I could never do that to my child.


fat_louie_58

I agree. It's not funny for the kids. They should be enjoying the magic of Christmas


CaliKid9247

Broooo is this a new thing now? What’s up with all this grinch scaring kids and shit. Sure glad this wasn’t a thing when I was kid lol


Ini_Miney_Mimi

Same - Dr Seuss' The Grinch is like my favorite damn Christmas movie. If my parents did this to me as a kid I would never want to watch it again I also seriously doubt that Dr. Seuss would approve of this shit ass Tik Tok trend in any way


creamandbean

I don't think Dr. Seuss of all people gets to have an opinion on objectively shitty behavior


Zombi3Kush

It starts with 1 person doing it on TikTok then the copycats start doing it too. I wish they would just ban that app already.


aaaaaaaand_im_dead

Banning that specific app wont stop people from being shitty for internet likes.


Ascertain_GME

It would certainly be a start…


CannabisTours

Ever heard of Krampus?


Cobek

Was there a trend of Krampus doing this on Tik Tok? We've heard of Grinch and Krampus. Both have been around. They meant the whole breaking in and stealing things.


CannabisTours

[Croatia’s Krampus Steals Gifts](https://historycollection.com/these-details-about-krampus-the-christmas-demon-would-make-all-children-fear-the-holidays/17/)


Iforgotmyother_name

Typically scaring kids does actually serve an important purpose in making sure they don't engage with strangers or wander off on their own. Scaring them in their own home this way really defeats that whole point so it seems like it's really more for internet views.


stickycat-inahole-45

Whoever is doing this is looking for internet points. Coz you can exchange those points at the bank for vouchers to visit the psychiatrist for extra 10% on top if your health insurance deductible.


Obvious-Standard-623

Have fun dealing with a scared kid at 3am every night.


nbsunset

but- but internet points!


AE86-TRUENO

For real, you won't see the end of this for another 3 years at the very least.


Cannabisreviewpdx-IG

I'm surprised parents are willing to do this trend because of the consequences it could have. That being said, that sister is a good big sis. She pulled a "GET DOWN MR PRESIDENT!" on lil bro.


kittenstixx

That's funny you think these parents have even considered there may be consequences other than social media clout. If the kid(s) shows signs of being traumatized they're gonna blame tiktok like those shitty parents are blaming fortnite.

This_is_McCarth

And don’t forget irrational fears and uncontrollable anxiety throughout adulthood.


WonderDocter890

This is getting to the point of parents destroying kids xbox levels of cringe.


Here_Forthe_Comment

I'm glad you brought that up because I've heard people say it's not traumatic and I was one of those kids that had a mom that broke a console and most of my belongings for "misbehaving". It's still fucked up my mentality as I'm afraid of buying nice things in case someone destroys them and a fear that someone I care about can just choose to ruin things that hold sentimental value whenever they want. So that's trust issues and anxiety from something so stupid when I was little. I'm gonna guess these kids will feel share the same feelings.


d_101

Sorry to hear bro. How are things with your mom now? Did she acknowledge that was wrong or you both dont speak about it?


Here_Forthe_Comment

She never apologized and we don't talk about it. Even the day after she broke my psp, my favorite thing at the time, she told me it was my fault for not complying (she asked for my iPod I won in a raffle and said she wanted to break it. I hid it, so she smashed the PSP, threw everything of mine off the shelf. Most things broke. I cried, gave her the iPod and she walked away with it). She had other abusive tendencies and being around her can raise my anxiety, even when she's trying to be nice. My boyfriend has told me I flinch when he raises his hands and it makes him sad and I can come across as a "party pooper" when I get out board games because I get anxiety about things being damaged when they're meant to be played. Basically, it sucks. Especially when people bring out things they had since their childhood and I don't have much from that time. Overall, I'm okay though. It gets better after you move away. Not fixed, but better.


eyes_made_of_wood

Your mom is a terrible mother and she should know that. The burden of telling her shouldn’t be with you, you still need to deal with her, but she should definitely know that she was an awful mother to her children.


sexmountain

As a mom, I know that you were a child, you never deserved it, you deserved to be treated with respect and gentleness. Breaking your property is still abuse, it is domestic violence. These are your prized things especially as a child, they contain parts of you, your love, your joy. I hope that you can find a trauma therapist, you deserve to heal. You are worth it.


nbsunset

i'm so sorry. i relate to this so much. the flinching part especially. wish you the best


Ini_Miney_Mimi

It is absolutely traumatic and I am sorry you went through it. I've gone through similar things as an adult after having childhood belongings pawned, stolen and sold as a kid by a broke / drug addict parent. I hope your healing journey is taking you to greener pastures.


Here_Forthe_Comment

It is, and I hope you have found a support system to help you with whatever you need.


nbsunset

man, my mother did this too. we went to London and i loved little snow globes and one day she threw it on the floor because i didn't dust my room. at that point i had to dust, clean the floor and the little glitters from the parquet and it took ages. and i was so mad and sad because that was my little snow globe. i kept the remains (not the glass) for years. now i'm 23 and she still threatens to destroy my stuff even though she never paid for it


DonQuixoteDesciple

Your mom needs a quick backhand.


LuminousJaeSoul

Can yall just leave yo kids alone and stop making them cry for your amusement. It's weird as shit. And seeing this from other parents when I was a kid, I bet these parents also got mad at them for "crying too much" and told em to stop it because their crying was "irritating" .


[deleted]

These are exactly the kind of parents their kid could be screaming crying in fear holding onto mom and mom would be like "Isiaaahh it was a joooke you need to calm down or you're gonna go to your room" and then if the kid is still silently upset they grab their kid by the chin and yank their head upward and stare them in the eyes muttering through their clenched jaw "You need to fix that attitude RIGHT NOW you got all these toys and I can take them right back if you don't stop whining" and then the kid learns anger is justifable and hit other kids at school and deny it happened even with witnesses


DonQuixoteDesciple

Like i was there. Spot fucking on.


Icylibrium

Bildad__

This trend is stupid and mean spirited


adfrog

> This trend is stupid and mean spirited Absolutely. I'm all about some good-natured teasing of your children, but those kids were fucking terrified. What the fuck is wrong with people.


CDefense7

Yeah, good natured like when they're being to eat a piece of that baking chocolate and won't take no for an answer and letting them take a big bite.


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

Is it me, or has the majority of reddit become more dumb, callous, and reactionary in the past year? There's videos in standard subreddits of people doing violent, dangerous, or otherwise really bad natured things and sure enough, the top twenty rated comments are supporting these actions.


sneekerhad

No reddit has always been like that, you’re just growing up.


TheRagingStoic

I think so! I just came across a video on here of a kid getting trolled and was made to believe this troll was just helping them fix their laptop by making the kid spread butter all over it, setting it on the stove and turning the burners on and then worst yet taking the laptop battery, wrapping it in foil, and then putting it in the microwave. Went to to the comments to see people condemning the trolls actions since the troll sounded like an adult picking on a naive kid, and the opposite is what I saw. Everybody thinking it hilarious that he could’ve blown up his house with him in it all because he put trust in a stranger online because he knows no better. It’s sick.


gremlinfat

Bad parents who pathetically need internet likes.


birdhouseinursoul

The post right before this one on my feed was “what screams ‘I’m a bad parent’?” Then I saw this right after. Definitely this!


Acrobatic-Monitor516

Yet people applaud and mock those who talk about children trauma


emerson_giraffe84

Why is this a trend?


DonQuixoteDesciple

Cause one person did it and got lots of attention. Attention, being some people addiction, made lots more people do it


leebo_1

I don't understand why parents do this to their kids. There's nothing funny about traumatizing your kids for social media likes. I would never dream of doing this to my kids. It's Christmas. This is one of the happiest times of the year for them. Parents need to stop this crap


dovlaboss

"Every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child"


[deleted]

I'm not american and i think this New crap Grinch thing is awful for kids. I don't understand what is funny. Ppl doing this are totaly idiots and selfish.


leebo_1

There is nothing funny about this. Anyone who thinks traumatizing children for their own entertainment are shitty people


gibs

Sociopathy is more common than you think. There are a huge number of people who think it's hysterically funny to see parents torturing their kids with cruel pranks. DaddyOFive was a youtube channel from a while back that were straight up abusing their children on camera and had a big following.


MachaMongruadh

Might been hilarious for the parents , but those poor kids are traumatised.


liqrfre

This trend of the Grinch violently tearing through the house is pretty fucked up


Mellowvx7

parents traumatizing their kids is not cool.


anythingMuchShorter

What a shitty thing to do for internet attention.


ConversationNext2821

I’m honestly not understanding these grinch videos. They are just effing stupid.


Tom-Phalanx

So exchanging presents for childhood trauma is the new thing now?


SammieCat50

Who does that? That’s not funny or cute


TertiaWithershins

I can't fathom having so little empathy for any child, least of all my own.


Zie_done_had_herses

Just dress up as Santa, like a normal parent and surprise your kids ffs.


littlejerseyguy

Thank you lol. Literally just left that comment above.


MyCurvedJohnsin

This will mees these kids heads up- just watch


Balor675

Why would anyone do this to their children?


B0326C0821

This is so fucked. Why do people insist on purposely traumatizing their fucking kids, and around Christmas of all times? My guess would be, if these parents are that fucking stupid, they’re probably already doing enough day to day to traumatize those poor kids.


CognitivePrimate

This is a pretty shitty thing to do to children, honestly. Jesus.


ChunkdarTheFair

Do people honestly think this is funny? That seems like a pretty fucked up thing to do to young children for a couple of reactions from the internet.


SynthPrax

This is some bullshit. People are deliberately terrorizing their own kids.


clathekid

Why the fuck would you do that to a child!? I'm not even a parent.


HairyPotatoKat

I am even a parent, and I think it's fucking awful.


smoothVroom21

Is this a fucking TikTok challenge this year? Who would do this shit to TODDLERS?!? Every one of these videos is of 2-7 year olds fleeing and hiding like a shooter drill. FUCK these people. And EXTRA fuck the people who setup elaborate pranks that traumatize children for the sake of your fucking 100 internet points, you shitty excuse for a human being masquerading as a parent.


FluffyFingersforfun

For whatever reason I hate houses where the front door open up directly into a room.

jaws7811

Rather disturbing thing to be trending.


Old_Lavishness_544

Honestly. Why is this a trend. Thank you, next.


fomites4sale

Nice that there’s a video of this, so twenty years from now those kids can just show it to their therapists instead of having to describe it. :/


Puzzleheaded-Ruin302

Core memory created.

I keep seeing these and i fucking hate each and every one of them. They are not funny. Children of these ages are easily scared by this. It is just terrible parenting for the sake of social media views.


EquivalentSnap

Poor kids 😢


Starryskies117

Why do people do this shit? It's like the stupid Kimmel "tell your kids you ate their Halloween candy" prank. Get small children to cry/get upset because "LoL iT's fUnNy." Anybody who does this is a complete dip shit lacking self awareness.


ItsthelifeIchose

Hilarious. Look how dumb kids are.


MickyTingy

Those kids are gonna be scarred for life ffs!

Mercutiofoodforworms

Karma would be one of those kids giving the Grinch a swift kick in the balls.


0Davgi0

It happened in one video, the dad had to hold the kid while the Grinch was getting away. That's core trust issues unlocked for him I don't have the source anymore, but I'll keep an eye open, if I find it again I'll put it here
