Envy and jealousy of their lack of freedom.

I think you have it mixed up, parents usually abuse their kids, not the other way around. But I have seen children emotionally abusing their parents by calling them names, and sometimes physically like hitting them. Perhaps because their parents show them this by hurting them that way, or maybe they are just spoiled brats and don't get their way, which is also caused by the parents. Or maybe they just simply want more rights. Sometimes you'll have to look into a deeper meaning, like maybe they are suffering from mental retardation (I'm not joking.) But I have a question for you, one, why would a child sexually abuse their parent, and if that is true, why do you think? Parents usually set an example for children, and sometimes you can't always blame the children.

This society condemns parents for disciplining their own children . . . even to the point of legal action and prison time.
Any society that takes a parent's rights to care for and raise their own children deserves the evil outcome it produces. It IS scriptural that this would occur in society at ths time . . . it is evidence of te times we are living - the end of this system of things.
I am 64 and got my behind spanked with great regularity . . . I learned to respect parents and ALL adults as well as authority figures. Talking back was not even a consideration, much less abusive speech, insult and physical abuse.

cause their parents are afraid of getting into trouble if they were to beat the living crap out of the kid. i dont care what the law states my son better be ready to get his butt whooped hard if he every hits me. the way the law is written the parents are not sure as to what constitutes abuse and what doesnt so to be safe and not get into trouble with the police/CPS they let their children do what ever the child wants.
