Kids who thought their parents would do this, no. That's what makes it safe to read.
Kids who deep down irrationally
feared
their parents
might
do this, yes. That's what makes it thrilling to read.

There are some pretty crazy people out there who still manage to become parents.
And 13 is about the age when a kid can look around, compare Mom and Dad to other adults, and realize that something's not right.

I'm certainly not denying that terrible parents exist, but their kids might not be as inclined to read about terrible parenting as a form of entertainment.
(My friends who have had terrible parents tended to realize it well before age 13.)

Ten or eleven, here. Alas, I'm not comparing David Tennant to Matt Smith.
