What about those parents whose precious children can do no wrong and when part of “the village” tries to discipline them for acting out, or tries to rescue them because they ran willy-nilly into traffic, the parent freaks out and threatens to sue the “helper” for daring to touch/talk to/look at their child the wrong way.

If you want “the village” to help, don’t freak out on them and then whine that you’ve got no help.
