I've met people that were raised like that and they're broken.

They lack the volition to do things by themselves and are unable to make their own choices. I used to converse a lot with a girl brought up in this manner and if you asked the question: "why" a lot about the things she did or was about to do (like planning to go to a particular college) you would ultimately end up with: "I don't know".

Also I would bet that those kids are bullied to at least some extent at school. They would have been at mine at least. :D
