interesting observation about leg hair etc, I don't think the sex of the kid on the phone is important I think the point is that Claude and his Father are both lonely, but the theme I saw was that of the parents abusing their power by treating their children inappropriately either due to their own issues or using them to serve their own needs (sexual etc): Claude clipping his mothers toenails Shawn's girl's Mum using Shawn for sex
the thematic veins in Ken Park aren't simple though, Tate is difficult, His parents abuse by neglect maybe? They simply aren't there, what happened to them? Who cares they simply aren't.
I think my favorite was Ken Park himself, his girlfriend asks 'arent you glad your mother didn't abort you?' bringing to light the fact that sometimes it would be unfair to have a child and people still do, which ultimately, is the first abuse, a selfish act, bringing a child into a world that is unsuitable for it, to parents (or parent) who are unsuitable. And Ken aborts himself. I liked that.
