Here’s another light story for y’all. It’s a refreshing break from our usual murder and mayhem, and yet still a sad portrait of parents shitting all over their kids. That’s right - it’s another sports story! This one, from Brevard County, Florida, concerns the rookie team of the Port St. John Rockets, who are forced […]
Okee guys, time to revisit that age-old controversy: how much does mental illness impinge on moral accountability? This isn’t an academic question in the case of 22-year-old Danielle Wails of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, who called police one night to report that her house was burning down with her baby trapped inside. When detectives arrrived, […]
Straight outta Chesapeake, Virginia, it’s the depressing story of Jennifer Lynn Grisetti, a 28-year-old mom who was convicted this week of killing her three-month-old baby, Trey Alexander Grisetti. The mom admitted to throwing her son so hard into his playpen that his head bounced off of the wall.
Her defense lawyers tried to paint it as […]
Have you ever heard of the Old German Baptist Brethren? (Not to be confused with the German Baptist Brethren, and certainly not to be mixed up with those bastards the Old Order German Baptist Brethren.) They’re an Anabaptist group, theologically similar in some ways to the Mennonite and the Amish. I’d never heard of the […]
I have to hat-tip readers Emari and Heidi, who both sent me this fresh story about parents behaving badly when it comes to their children’s sports. Yesterday, we covered a rather innocuous tale about filthy-rich parents abusing their power to hector a basketball coach. But today’s story? BRING OUT THE WEAPONS, YO!! 40-year-old Philadelphia dad […]
Blogging Baby appears to have stepped up its coverage of bad-behaving parents lately - much to the discontent of some readers. I find that funny. I started Parents Behaving Badly while I was a co-editor for BB, specifically because some readers were fed up reading these tales. Rather than let them fade into history, I […]
When someone refers to a story as “an upscale version of Parents Behaving Badly”, you know you’ve arrived. Charlene Prince Birkeland of Crazed Parent rants today about a group of Castro Valley, California parents who are calling for the head of CV High School’s girls basketball coach, Nancy Nibarger. The moms and dads have a […]
You know, stories involving non-payment of support don’t get me as riled as they used to. Between moms watching their babies die and dads slipping their kids rat poison, owing back child support seems like such a minor crime.
But of course, that’s the jaded blogger’s perspective. To a parent struggling to keep his or her […]
Our next tale of parenting gone horribly astray comes from hot tipper Karen, who informs us about a Brooklyn, New York dad who went all French aristocracy on his family. The unnamed dad (who remains unnamed so that his kids aren’t subjected to the shame and ridicule that ought to be his alone) maintains that […]
Hot tipper and blog friend Karen Rani of Troll Baby sent along this treasure of a story that occurred in Center Township, Pennsylvania. The son of Paula and Kenneth Sutton of Monaca, PA was driving in his father’s car with his mother tailing right behind them. Then dad, who was already drunk, attempted to smoke […]
