Even after resolving other safety concerns, parents in Georgia can wait for months to be reunited with their children, often because of what advocates say are stringent requirements sought by the state’s Division of Family and Children Services.
Many, many cultures the world over involve parents and children sharing the same room. Are they all mentally ill?
And your argument that kids should have their own room because of abusive parents is an argument against abusive parents not in favor of every child having their own individual room. It also has nothing to do with not having that room causing mental illness unless you think indigenous people from Indonesia to Alaska are making all of their children mentally ill and always have.
If parents are abusing their kids, take the kids away from them. That is what causes mental illness.
Also siblings can be bullies and abuser too, just saying.
They can also be very supportive and sheltering if their sibling is being abused by a parent and the siblings share a room. Or did you not consider that? Maybe it’s not as cut-and-dried as you think and you’re transferring your own, admittedly terrible, experiences on the world?
I had my own room when I grew up but I didn’t have a lock on my door. I never felt I needed one and if I had one, I never would have locked it. My parents weren’t abusive. If our circumstances went bad and I had to share a one-room apartment with them, they wouldn’t have abused me then either. So why would I have needed a lock on my door?
