BRAINWASHING by Dr. Lawrence Wilson

Parents and Children.  Children are very dependent upon their parents, so they make easy targets of brainwashing.  In fact, some of the worst hypnosis and brainwashing occurs in families.  It varies in severity and might just be simple conditioning of the child to act or speak in certain ways.  Too often, it is far worse and involves beating, humiliating, embarrassing, and raping children at a young age.  This is especially the case in Russia and the Middle Eastern nations.

At times, clever children turn the tables and effectively train their parents to do exactly as they child wishes by throwing temper tantrums and other tactics.  Such children often have a hard time as adults because adults are harder to manipulate using temper tantrums.
