I don’t know what’s worse in this story - the fact that Maurice U. Hall Jr., 32, was having sex with a girl half his age. Or that he shook their eight-week-old son Jeremiah so violently that he’s blind and probably will never walk, talk or feed himself.
I guess the judge agrees with me because he found […]

In Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Richard F. Bartlett, 20, admitted to “manhandling” his seven-week-old son, David.
Bartlett showed police how he threw the baby on to the changing table when his son woke him up in the middle of the night. The baby was crying at the top of his lungs, which irritated him. So Bartlett, a real genius, […]

In Walahalla, South Carolina, Michael Daniels Jr., 19, was charged with three counts of inflicting great bodily injury on a child. His two-month-old son is recovering from 27 fractures and numerous bruises. Some of the fractures were healing, which may indicate that the abuse had been going on a long time.
You have to wonder if “a long […]

Authorities are concerned that Milne, who has little prior parenting experience and - well, he’s 19 years old. How mature were you at age 19?

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 […]

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 […]

As far as I can tell, Britain doesn’t have “safe haven” laws that allow a mom to drop off a baby at a safe spot without legal consequences. There’s been a roaring debate about such laws here in the states, with some arguing that they dissuade young women from getting pre-natal care. That debate might […]

This story actually made me ill; specifically, the part about the bite marks and cigarette burns. Motherfuckers. Since this happened in Texas, however, I think we know how this movie’s gonna end. Como se dice “Ride the lightning” en Espanol? Sometimes I question the morality of the death penalty - but not in this case. […]
