There's child abuse, and then there's child abuse.
Some parents really do know how to set up a retirement fund.

Why am I thinking Jelena Dokic's father Damir? Why am I thinking the precocious, fallen and eventually redeemed Capriati? Why am I thinking Sharapova's relentlessly driving father?

Hedge funds to be ‘decimated’ by financial crisis
Billionaire investor George Soros says hedge funds will be decimated by the financial crisis.
(Latin decimāre, decimāt-, to punish every tenth person, from decimus, tenth, from decem, ten; see dek in Indo-European roots.)
”... the bubble has now burst, and hedge funds will be decimated. I would guess that the amount of money they manage will shrink between 50 and 75 per cent.”
