Is it Child Abuse to have a kid wait in line over night...

If you bring the kids because they genuinely want the item and you love them enough to teach them about waiting patiently for their desires, Huzzah!
If you bring the kids as an extra hand to grab something to sell on EBay? You are part of the problem with the world.

Your options are yes, no, and "depends on item." How about, "depends on the kid"? Because if I were a kid and we were waiting on some garbage I'd have pitched a bitch, but if we were waiting on Transformers stuff or something, well, that's different.

If I wait in line to get them a freaking tickle me elmo they'll wait in line for my Olly Moss. I would have left them there and gone back to sleep in my cozy hotel room.
This is however why we don't have kids yet.

How oldest the kid? As long as the kids reasonably comfortable that's better than a 14 car ride packed in the back seat with all the luggage which I've been party to a few times.

Since a kid abusing himself would be an unfair vote, lets keep this to adults.
kids also define abuse in crappy ways, did you guys see the dad who shot his daughters laptop video? She felt she was "abused"

The person in question obviously doesn't need cash to feed his starving kids. Look at his massive collection of gig posters. If he has that disposable income he can surely afford to buy his kids food without selling these posters.

A lot of ya'll shouldn't even have kids. Bearing children should be a privilege, not a right.
