Kid Books With Disturbing Backstories

In today's video, we talk about kid books with disturbing backstories. These books look innocent but when you deep dive into the history of these books it can get very dark especially the last topic we talk about since it has to deal with satanic rituals.

    The reason that the book "Don't Make Me Go Back, Mommy" was made was because it was a product of the satanic panic, which was at its height in the late 80's/90's, and the book itself was published in 1990. That doesn't make it any less weird, but historical context is important.

    From Wikipedia (the article in spanish about The Giving Tree): " The more you blame the child, the more you blame human existence. The more you blame the tree, the more you miss the idea of ​​fatherhood. Should the gifts from the tree be contingent on the child's gratitude? If that were the case, if fathers and mothers expected reciprocity before caring for their children, we would be doomed. "- Timothy Jackson

    The story about J. M. Barrie kind of made me tear up. The dude definitely had an innocent fascination with children that was spurred by losing his brother. He certainly earned the trust of the Davies considering the mother of the kids entrusted Barrie to take care of her children. The Davies kids also defended Barrie on the accusations of being a predator. Considering just how much they interacted with the Barrie, and was even adopted by and taken care of by him, I'm inclined to believe that the only thing inappropriate about Barrie's fascination with kids was interacting with random stranger's children (which, again, didn't lead to anything worse than being strange). I don't know if enriching the life of children helped him cope with losing his brother, but I certainly hope it brought him peace of some sort.

    banning the book outright is def too far imo, but the giving tree is widely interpreted as a mother-son relationship. i can see why some people would have concern with allowing young girls to read a book they believe encourages women to be selfless givers and see this as acceptable. again, i think banning it was too far and idont think this book is a big issue or anything, but it is always important to think deeper abt the kind of ideas children are exposed to from media aimed at them, since children are very easily influenced. silverstein in his personal life spent time as a cartoonist for playboy, so i can see why his children's work would be extra scrutinized.

    @@fivepainbbles little girls ---> selfless, "givers"/mothers. there's nothing wrong w being a mother obviously, that's a great noble thing to raise good children, but idk maybe they were concerned little girls would take the story to mean that they should let others (boys) have whatever they want from them and form no personal boundaries for themselves, because that's what the tree does in the story. in school, i was taught that the story was a metaphor for motherhood/parenthood. since most grade school teachers are female (idk if thats changed in recent years but thats how it was when i was a kid), that might be why the story is mostly presented as such. girls/women are more prone to people-pleasing and enabling behavior as a general rule, so while like i said i don't think the book needs to be banned or anything, i can see the reasoning behind the concern.

    The point of the giving tree is showing forgiving the tree was, how ungrateful the kid was, and how he realized something ath the end of the story when he sat on the tree trunk. True, he didn't say thanks but if he said it, will it be genuine enough? Having him being thankful for what the tree gave him would made no sense since the author was trying to show kids how far the boy would go for his wishes while being impolite .BTW, the tree could have been anyone, supposedly family members, to friends, so no to gender roles.

    OMG same anything could set mine off when I was kid I still have hallucinations now but they're not as bad as they were. I was terrified of cemeteries when I was kid I had this book that had a picture of cartoonish looking gravestones in it and I had nightmares for ages my mum got rid of it. I don't have that fear anymore. One thing that did traumatize me as kid though is I don't know if you've heard of it but there's a tv show called Jonathan creek he's like this sort sherlock Holmes type character that solves murders and one episode I watched called the three gamblers I had a reoccurring hallucination after it I dreaded night time and I am 32 now and I still go through a small period of time where I dread going to bed because I remember how I used to feel. I'd also discourage any parent from telling their kids the story of the boogieman just don't do it it's far more mentally damaging then you think it might be. My wonderful grandfather decided to do that to this day I still blame that too as one of the reasons I cannot sleep properly why I still have night terrors. But here's the fudged up part for a short period I was having night terrors ever night there was no let up I'd wake up calm go back to sleep and have another for a solid week. Then one night I stayed up late and watched hell raiser with my dad it stopped them not completely but it slowed down the frequency of them. Still doesn't make sense because the material in that movie is disturbing haha lol.

I have my journal & the dream sequences I wrote down can be classed as fiction. you can believe me or not but the dreams I wrote down happened & sometimes I would need to change it. I want to make it visual so the audience can see what I was going through but then the horror aspects would increase & could mean censorship.

    That's not how The Giving Tree ends. He comes back as an old man and he's just like "I just want a place to sit" and the tree, being a stump, is like "you can sit on me." So he does. He still doesn't say "thanks" though. I looked it up just in case he did and I found a blog shit-post connecting their relationship to a BDSM relationship. And also some edits of the boy using the tree in... Ways that wouldn't allow him to ask for anything ever again. Because of course that's a thing.

    i really like the giving tree and i dont think there's really supposed to be like a lesson, it's a representation of how much parental figures give up. many times they don't get a thank you, similarly to the tree. this perspective allows you to appreciate how much others do for you.

    The giving tree - Please don't hate the book It's just about a tree who give a her all to the boy and treats him like he is her son The hungry caterpillar - The caterpillar eats to grow into a butterfly. I don't see any disorder here. Those two books are NOT disturbing at all.

    Also don't know at all if anyone other than people in my town maybe heard of this book but it's called Wenny as her Wings by Janet Lee Carey, basically this brother misses his little sister who died and the book is through his perspective, like how he can't get over his little sister not being there with him anymore. It's super sad, made me cry each time I read in in junior high If anyone else heard of this please let me know cause no one else I know (family wise and some I went to school with) never even heard of this book

    for part 2: another book that's for kids that's quite screwed up is "Suur Toll"/"Tyll the great" an estonian fairytale book about a giant who is a fair giant, and he helps his people when vanatuhi/vaapagan attacks, the illustrations are unnerving, and there are dark moments in the story where suur toll's wife; "Piret" gets crushed by their own house after Vanatuhi collapses it on her, and a part where suur toll gets decapitated, and before dying he kills the thing that decapitated him by crushing it, before carrying his severed head somewhere and turning to stone, an animated version of it is actually on youtube

    I actually disagree about the hate on The Giving Tree. The boy was written selfish because he IS selfish. Everything isn't perfect and happy and "just" all the time, and that is what I like about it. He never said Thank You because he tool the tree's unconditional love for granted. If he said Thank You it would not do anything to teach about when things are unfair and unhappy. Then people will think that, of themselves or others - and not only this - going through things are "abnormal" when it is perfectly normal to not be okay, and is unfortunately normal for selfish people to exist. I actually write stories, and in mine they are usually based on things I've suffered like multiple forms of abuse and the aftermath , and mental illnesses, and are usually extremely graphic. Nearly all of my stories have bittersweet, sad or painful endings, or a combination of those, with characters not reacting to situations "right" because they don't fully understand the situation, just like people in our world. If I forced a happy ending with justice are suddenly make everyone fully understand subjects like abuse and act the way you're "supposed" to act, it wouldn't be "real life" to me, because not everything is like that (hate the term "real life" because I believe characters exist in parallel worlds (schizophrenia thing). But yes, that's all. No hate towards you, of course. Just a simple disagreement.

    I thought we were _meant_ to be annoyed with the boy/man for being entitled and not thanking the The Giving Tree. It annoyed me as a kid which is the whole reason I understood the lesson of the book was that if I didn’t have & express appreciation to the people who provided for me & looked out for me then I’d turn out as bad as that brat and end up hurting the ones I loved.

    Here's a story at the library my teacher read when I was little. I forget the name of it though. Well, the story I think starts with a mom bunny and a teen bunny and a baby bunny. The mom says to teen bunny be nice to your sister. He doesn't be nice while panting eggs. His mom says please be nice. Again hes not nice. Then the mom says ill put you in time out! He is still not nice to baby bunny. The mom does notice. The baby bunny cries and goes away. She finds a little butterfly. Baby bunny follows it to a place long away from the house. Teen bunny remembers that his sister is gone he tells mom bunny that she left. Mom bunny starts a hole search around the neighborhood. Baby bunny gets lost. A fox is hiding the grass but doesn't see baby bunny. The search went on till night. The other moms and teen bunny and Mom bunny finally finds her. The fox didn't get a dinner. The bunny never go out again. The story ends.
