I think a lot of commentary on this subject minimizes what kids are able to perceive and understand about adults. Three possibilities I think of immediately: (1) Kids know what stresses their parents face and don't want to add to it; kids can be very protective. (2) Kids fear what their parents might do. (3) Kids see that their parents are treated badly by the world, and have no reason to believe that the parent can protect the child when they can't protect themselves.

Bullying of kids often seems to be approached as a discrete problem, unrelated to the rest of life--even of the bullied kids' lives.
