[glapplebloom]

So let’s give this another look.

Back in 2019, I made a little article about defending Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood using context from the one episode. Though I still see people calling them Bad Parents. You know who else gets called a bad Parent? Goku. Yes, it's a funny joke about how he usually is either training or dead (sometimes both), but Goku does care for his family and has shown it numerous times. Even TFS worked to fix that joke by using it to build their version of Goku. So the question remains: are they bad parents?

As a childless single man, I can tell you I have as much knowledge on raising kids as I have knowledge of quantum mechanics, which is to say little to none. But I am a researcher so looking for articles and information is what I’m good at. And I’m using  healthline.com's article about “Bad Parenting: Signs, Effects, and How to Change It”. Using the stuff here as well as evidence from the show and comic to see if they show signs of it or not.

1 - The Big 2

There are two things that happen that automatically puts you in the Bad Parent category. The first being the most obvious one to disprove: Abuse. Since their job takes them around the world, they have no opportunity to do any kind of abuse onto Scootaloo. And when they are there, there is no physical abuse, emotional abuse, or the other one I refuse to say about an underage kid. Even the comic wasn’t physical abuse since those were controlled environments that Scootaloo could have outed herself at any time.

The other is Neglect. You think being away means they got this. But let’s look at nspcc.org.uk to see what Neglect is. 

Physical neglect: A child's basic needs, such as food, clothing or shelter, are not met or they aren't properly supervised or kept safe.

Scootaloo is in a home with Aunts and were given their blessings by the parents.

Educational neglect: A parent doesn't ensure their child is given an education.

Scootaloo goes to school.

Emotional neglect: A child doesn't get the nurture and stimulation they need. This could be through ignoring, humiliating, intimidating or isolating them.

The parents ensured that Scootaloo had someone taking care of her prior to the Aunts' permanent residence in Ponyville. They don't ignore her as they continue to write letters to her. She's not isolated as all of Ponyville knows her, and the only humiliation she gets is by her own actions.

Medical neglect: A child isn't given proper health care. This includes dental care and refusing or ignoring medical recommendations.

Pretty sure she has access to a good medical care when needed.

So no, neither Scootaloo’s parents (and Goku while we’re at it) do not show these two things, The only time Gohan was physically neglected was when Piccolo kidnapped Gohan while Goku was dead.

2 - Over or under involvement

They’re not helicopter parents, so take that over involvement out. But while they did provide scootaloo with shelter and food, did they ignore Scootaloo’s needs beyond that? I don’t think so. Remember, their plan to move to a closer location with Scootaloo was because they wanted to give her more attention beyond writing letters to her. When she finally stopped trying to trick them into staying in Ponyville and showed them why she needed to stay, they were willing to accommodate her need.

And the comic shows that they’re involved greatly as they stopped what they’re doing when Scootaloo finally says something about what is happening and listens to her when she insists on going to the ice cream parlor before their own plans. Having a job that takes you away from them doesn’t mean you’re not under involved with them. It's just that to provide them with everything they need, they have to go where the job takes them. And ensuring that they have people who can give them emotional support on the spot when they can’t show that they are invested in their kid.

3 - Discipline

Is Scootaloo left for herself? Prior to Flight to the Finish people joke about Scootaloo being an orphan. It wouldn’t be until that episode that shows she has a place to live in that looks pretty good. And it was the books (I forget if it’s the Chapter Books or the Comics) that confirm she has Aunts to take care of her. Add to that the episode that finally established Scootaloo has alive parents and showed that she has an entire system of ponies who take care of her. Between her Aunts, the Cakes and Rarity I’m pretty sure she has enough people to discipline her.

In fact, one of her caretakers is Rainbow Dash. And she has shown that she can let Scootaloo be on her own to make her own decisions but will be there to give her a helping hoof when needed. So I think it is safe to say Scootaloo is not disciplined too strictly or loosely. And when with Scootaloo, they didn’t yell. They didn’t make strict commands. At worst, they did let her off to do her own thing but she was with friends so they knew she was in good hooves.

4 - Withdrawing affection and attention and Shaming

They have never shown to withdraw their affection for Scootaloo when she disagrees with them. They ensured that they loved her and were planning this move to give her the attention she wanted. And when they saw how much Ponyville meant to her, they were willing to let her stay and continue the letter writing and visits. They didn’t shame her for not listening to them or not liking the things they do. They respected her wishes and likes. 

So no, Scootaloo’s parents are not bad parents. They have a job that is important to Equestria and that takes them away from Scootaloo. They ensured that she has an emotional support system by having the Aunts take care of her. They continue to write letters to Scootaloo. They listen to her when she speaks. They respect her decisions. In short, they’re good parents. They gave Scootaloo everything she needed as best as they could given their circumstances. 

Did this convince you or do you have a different outlook? Feel free to reply about your take.

Lil doodle of Scootaloo’s momma, Mane Allgood.

I like to think that she writes Scootaloo letters when possible, but it’s a bit hard to find a post office when you’re out in the field studying exotic plants and animals.

While her parents are away, Scootaloo stays with various friends of her parents around Ponyville, and occasionally with her aunts. She eventually finds her place in both Sweetie Belle and Applebloom’s homes, with both of their families well in on the loop on Scootaloo’s parent’s time demanding job.

Scootaloo also finds refuge in Rainbow Dash’s home from time to time, thinking of her like an older sister. Rainbow Dash is always happy to have the company, assuming she’s not busy with training season at the Wonderbolts academy.

SCOOTALOO

First Appearance: Green Lantern Apple Bloom (June 1, 2013)

Dimension: GLAB Universe

Allegiance: Hero

Scootaloo is a Pegasus Pony who lives in Ponyville. While Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood travel across Equestria because of their jobs, Scootaloo lives with her Aunts Holiday and Lofty. Despite being a Pegasus, Scootaloo is unable to fly at this point of time. But that doesn’t keep her down as she is able to pick up speed by rolling around with her Scooter. With inspiration from Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle created the Cutie Mark Crusaders, with the goal of earning their cutie mark.

But being friends with Apple Bloom eventually led to her being one of the six Bearers of the Elements of Harmony. She represents Honesty because she is willing to give the true perspective to a person when they doubt themselves. With such skills, alongside Sweetie Belle, she discovered her true talent: to help others discover who they really are. And thus she continues to be a Cutie Mark Crusader to this day, even after giving up the Elements of Harmony to the Tree of Harmony.

Fun Facts:

It is only a coincidence she is being uploaded the same time as Scratch. I am not a fan of the chicken joke.

I do believe Scootaloo can fly. If Bulk Biceps can, Scootaloo has to be able to as well.

i feel like scootaloo’s parents would purposefully go out of their way to say ‘he or she’ instead of ‘they’

[askmylittlepony]

Dear Ms. Cheerilee,

My dad’s name is Snap Shutter. Him and my mom, Mane Allgood, study plants and strange creatures in dangerous, faraway places! The things they learn help advance pony science and medicine!

-Scootaloo

[lieutenantcactus]

    Scootaloo took a deep breath. A question lingered in the air. Would the ponies about to walk through the door accept him as their son? Scootaloo supposed it wasn't fair to come out to them in letter form, but at the same time, he didn't know if he could say it in person. It was hard enough with his aunts.      The door swung open. A large earth pony stallion and a tall, lanky pegasus mare stood there, their height somehow seeming even greater in this moment. Scootaloo swallowed hard, his mouth dry.    "Mum. Dad," he tried to make his voice as even as possible, aware of how much deeper it was, "I missed you so much".    The pair looked at him, then at each other, then back at him. Then, before Scootaloo could open his mouth again, two large smiles spread across their faces.    "Oh, my darling boy!" Mane Allgood swept her son up in her wings, "We missed you too!"    "Cripes, look at ya, Scoots!" Snap Shutter wrapped his forelegs around his wife and child, "You're the spitting image of your old man!"    "Ohhh, he's much more handsome than that~" Mane responded teasingly, rolling her eyes, "But, oh! We have so much to talk about! Like that new camp you and your friends set up! How many is that now?"    "Four!" Scootaloo chirped back. He could barely hold back tears. Of relief and joy.
