In a move that would never be described as “money”, Jacob Calero and wife Michelle De La Vega took a trip to Vegas, leaving their puppies with her mother - and their two young kids by themselves.
Joshua, 9, and Jacob, 5 - did I mention that Jacob is autistic? - were left to fend [...]

Gravelles Willing To Give Up Kids’ Cages

It’s been a while since my last post, and I thought that coming back to PBB would be a challenge, but once again the Gravelles have helped a brother out!
You remember Michael and Sharon Gravelle, the foster parents who loved their kids so much that they gave them nice safe cages to sleep in. Let [...]

All in The Family: Boston Police to Parents Say, “Stop Lying for Your Gang-Banging Punk Kids!”

They’re trying to be all nice and restrained when they talk to the press about it, but make no mistake: the Boston Police are pissed. BPD Commissioner Kathleen O’Toole is demanding parents crack down on their hoodlum teens in the wake of two cases where parental perjury obstructed justice. In one case, 45-year-old Nadine Sanders [...]

Home Alone: Parents Party in Las Vegas, Leave Kids Behind

My wife and I recently celebrated NewsYears by going to Portland, Oregon by ourselves for the weekend. Mind you, we left our four kids with our moms, who graciously agreed to care for them in our absence. I don’t feel superior or righteous that we made sure our kids were well cared for - it’s [...]

Iraq-Bound Teen’s Father Helped Him Enter Country

Wow. I’ve resisted blogging about Farris Hassan, the teen who snuck out of the US and somehow wormed his way into Iraq in order to go “the extra mile” on a school project. From early news reports, it didn’t seem that his parents had a hand in abetting his mad scheme. Well, that’s all changed. [...]

Child Killer Now a Dad Himself

Can you say “yikes”? 23-year-old Robert Thompson is no normal 23-year-old. When he was 11, he and fellow truant Jon Venables went on a minor crime spree. The day ended in a major tragedy when they inexplicably and senselessly abucted 2-year-old James Bulger and beat him to death. These days, Thompson is a free man, [...]

Miracle Baby Survives Parents’ Murder-Suicide

The only thing “good” about this story is that the lone survivor, Alexa Then, is only five months old, and won’t remember a thing about the time she almost died in a pool of her parents’ blood. No one took 43-year-old Nelson Morena seriously when he screamed out of his apartment window one night [...]

According to Heidi and Mike Anfinson, Mike went away for a day of four-wheeling with friends. He came home to find his wife sleeping alone, the baby gone - missing, stolen, as they [...]
