Father and Son Oxycontin Drug Ring Busted

Like any good father, Alton Hanscom involved his son, Mark, in the family business. Sadly, that’s where any similar between Hanscom and a good parent ends. After several months of undercover buys, police raided the Hanscom’s housing development apartment and found over 1,000 Oxycontin pills - some of them in plain sight in the room […]

Babysitter Behaving Badly: 2-Year-Old in Man’s Care Was Legally Drunk

I don’t know if you can classify this as parents behaving badly; it all depends on who gets the blame for letting Juan Reyes babysit two toddlers while their mom gave birth at a nearby hospital. From what the article says, both Reyes and the family lived in the same house, so I can’t imagine […]

You’ll remember that Wells was charged after one of his sons, Syber, committed suicide with a loaded, unsecured pistol that his father had left lying around. The result of that carelessness?

Stepmother Admits Sending Hate Email to Stepdaughter

“You’re disgusting, everybody at school hates you.” Sounds like the typical ugliness you’d read in a note written by a middle-schooler, or on Bill O’Reilly’s Web site, huh? But no! The Jerusalem 10-year-old who received such messages has her own newly-minted stepmother to thank for this vitriol. Stepmommy Dearest also admitted to trying to slip […]

Remember the last story we reported out of Africa? Involving a family with HIV and an ax, it wasn’t exactly what you’d call uplifting. So I’m pleased that this Parent Behaving Badly story out of Ghana actually has an uplifting ending. 18-year-old Sophia Adoo didn’t fully realize she was pregnant until she went to relieve […]

Over on Blogging Baby, we covered the story of Joseph and Lamoy Andressohn, who were convicted of child neglect charges after their kids wasted away on a strict raw food diet. It was never clear whether it was the diet itself that was to blame, or whether the parents simply underfed their kids. At […]
