Thanks to Sinthyia for the heads-up on yet another story of parents doling out the alcohol to minors. And when I say “minor”, I mean MINOR. 21-year old Stephanie Ann Helton of Phil Campbell, Alabama was busted by the authori-tays when police (for reasons unspecified) were called to perform a “welfare check” on the three […]
More drunk parenting! Jason Blood of Schenectady, New York reportedly downed a pint of whiskey before taking his 2-year-old boy out for a walk in the stroller. When police confronted the 38-year-old dad, he pissed himself. Classy. And here I thought that was the kid’s job.

Some quickies from the world of bad parenting to round out your day. Thanks to Sinthyia for the link round-up.
- Police in Rotarua, New Zealand stopped a car when they noticed it driving erratically. Inside, they found four kids aged 5 to 14. The 14-year-old was behind the wheel. Where was mom? In the […]
Let’s see…who’s up today on our constant parade of parental miscreants? Ah, yes, here’s a lovely specimen. And yet, while it’s a horrible story, there’s also a story of love and tenderness wrapped inside of it.
That love and tenderness doesn’t come from Michael P. Burke of Colorado Springs, Colorado, though. This bastard was already […]
Sorry for my delay in posting today, folks. The weather in Seattle has been dank and dark for the past month, and the permanent darkness has taken its toll on my frail constitution.
But I’ve perked up enough to relay this tip from Danielle about Kenneth Watkins (40) and Wendy Watkins (29) of Scranton, Pennsylvania, […]
Arkansas has passed a law increasing the amount of time you’ll spend in jail if you drive drunk with someone 16 or younger in the car. First-time offenders will now spend 7 days in jail, instead of the usual 24 hours. I’ll bet Jamie Marie Rosen is thanking her lucky stars she lives in Arizona.

Now where have we heard this one before? Oh right - it slightly mirrors the case of Sarah Smith, whose boyfriend Ryan Delaroche was hitting booze from a water bottle while driving. In that case, Smith unintentionally poisoned her baby when she used Ryan’s “water” to mix her daughter’s bottle.
In that case, the fault clearly […]
Man, you gotta give Sherri Lohnstein an ounce of credit. When her 2 lb. baby died shortly after birth in September, she knew the reason: she had gotten drunk the night she went into labor. Lab tests confirmed that the child was born with a blood alcohol level of 0.17%, more than two times the […]
When I was traveling once for business, I arranged for a limo service to take me from the airport to the conference I was attending. I arrived in Chicago at 8am, settled into the back seat of my ride, and poured myself some water from a decanter in the sidebar. “Um, sir,” the driver asked […]
Via blogger Sassy (whose blog was pointed out to me by Karen Rani, who’s two tips shy of getting her own login on the system) pointed out this story of Alfredo Martinez of Reno, Nevada, who decided one night that he was too drunk to drive. So he did what any rational parent would do: […]
