When Winston walks in Parsons house to help his wife , the kids are watching him and screaming “You’re a traitor ! You’re a thought-criminal !”. There job is to spy on adults and make sure they do not commit thought crime or facecrime. Parsons is someone who is a pet of the party. He follows everything the party teaches and often brags about the party slogans and how faithful he is to them. This is one of the reasons Winston hates Parsons so
