Not all parents are good | Dr. Sherrie Campbell | TEDxDanville

NOTE FROM TED: This talk discusses abuse. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: It seems taboo to say the words “bad parents” out loud because all we are indoctrinated to know is the good parent. And make no mistake, we also see good parents all around us. However, in our culture it is mis-assumed that all parents are good, which is simply not true for so many. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at DR.
