Alot of people have a very good upbringing, even the ones who's parents fell short can look back and say atleast they tried their hardest.

But there are children out there who have been neglected and abused by the very parents that should have looked after them.

In Islamic societies there is a strong sense of rights of parents and that parents are always right, but what of these parents who mistreat their children?

e.g. if a father thinks one of "his" children is not really his, he might not have the guts to stand up and say this to his wife or in the community and take out all his anger on the child by mistreating him/her, isn't this a great injustice to the child?

If the child's condition is form Allah, why can't we say the same for the parents treatment by their children. You reap what you sow. How could one ever mistreat their parents, if they were shown immense love when they were growing up, the child can forget the food you fed them for 20 years but not the love you gave them.
