I think what the parent post is referring to is the perpetual "grounding" of children until they become adults that has come into fashion lately in the US (last few decades) and that is quite cruel and horrific. It's one thing to ground a child for a week or two. It's another to ground them for their whole childhood as has become commonplace in the US to the point where these idiotic parenting ideas are enforced by police and taken out of the parents' hands completely. In addition to the immense suffering imposed on children, society too suffers from creating neurotic adults that act like children, have no life skills, and complain about micro aggressions and other nonsense when they're living the most comfortable lives in the history of humanity.
