There was a child named Tommy who found a doll in an old attic. The doll had a cracked porcelain face. As soon as Tommy brought the doll downstairs, strange things began to happen. The doll seemed to watch him wherever he went. At night, Tommy had nightmares of the doll chasing him. One day, when he was alone at home, he heard the doll laughing. He ran to the room where the doll was and saw it levitating in the air. The doll's eyes were filled with an evil glint. Tommy tried to run away, but the doll flew towards him and grabbed his arm, leaving a cold mark on his skin.
Yes, there could be. In many horror stories, mental hospitals are often depicted as spooky places. A 'child of evil' in such a setting could be a source of great horror.

One child abuse horror story is about a young boy who was locked in a small, dark closet for days by his stepfather whenever he made a minor mistake. He was given little food and water, and endured extreme fear and isolation.
There was a case where a bitter divorce led to a long and drawn - out custody battle. The court system was slow and bureaucratic.

There might be horror stories regarding exploitation in the child modeling industry. Some unethical agents or agencies may take advantage of the children's naivete.

One horror story is that in some cultures where child brides exist, these young girls are often forced to leave their families and homes at a very tender age. They are then thrust into a world of adult responsibilities like running a household and bearing children while still being children themselves. They may also face abuse from their much - older husbands, both physical and emotional, with no way to escape as they are trapped in a system that doesn't give them rights.
In some situations, the child support calculations are completely off. For example, a non - custodial parent who has a lower - paying job but has other financial obligations like taking care of an elderly relative is still forced to pay an exorbitant amount. The calculations don't take into account all of their financial hardships. They end up in debt trying to keep up with the child support payments and it can be really demoralizing.
