Not directly, but it could stand to reason that the parents of the kids they're scaring aren't doing anything to protect the children.

Monsters Inc gathers personal information on children to figure out how to scare them effectively, and has access to their bedrooms. Also, Sulley and Mike are stalked by other monsters who are suspicious because of the situation with Boo.

One monster puts their eyes into their head, and one pops out - played for comedic effect. Also, an eye falls off of Boo's monster costume. And early in the film Mike is seen putting in a contact lens.

No but getting banished is a similar concept and Monsters at Work reveals that the Abominable Snow Monster was banished for an excess period for uncovering Waternoose’s corruption.
