Charlize Theron: U.S. Laws Prevent Parents From Disciplining Their Kids

Call it Fate, call it Karma, call it God’s Will - sometimes things just fall into place. This morning, I came across the image to the right and thought, “Now, there’s a pic I wanna use. But what are the odds of me finding a story that will compliment it?”
Well, thank you Charlize Theron!The poster […]

Police Arrest Abandoned Newborn’s Parents

I almost - ALMOST - feel bad for these two. They didn’t leave the kid in a ditch or on a park bench. They actually handed the kid off to someone - ok, two total strangers at the drugstore next to their apartment building - but still. It could’ve been worse.
Now, perhaps Daniel’s Law […]

Massachusetts Parents Oppose Acceptance Of Gays In School

Beware the Gay Agenda! That’s the message that David Parker is teaching to his son, a Lexington, Mass. kindergartner. As if fingerpainting and learning the words to Wiggles songs weren’t enough for a kid to deal with. Now the kids have to worry about secret armies of Gays trying to turn them Gay with their […]

Parents Charged With Leaving Their Toddler Alone For Hours

To clarify: by “alone”, I don’t mean mean “in the den watching The Wiggles while Mommy and Daddy play backgammon in the breakfast nook”.

Turns out James Martin and Heather Frango, who will never be confused for James Herriott and Jon Katz, have had previous run-ins with their neighbors and the law over their doggies. Seems they’ve […]

Bad Soccer Moms and Dads Fenced In At Games

The weekend is upon us, and for many parents out there, it’s time to be athletic supporters. Some parents in Raleigh, North Carolina do merit comparison to smelly jock straps, thanks to their behavior at local youth football games.

Parents Shackle Unruly Son

William and Rachel Blow (no relation to 80’s rap superstar Kurtis) came up with a novel solution to their teenage son’s rambunctious behavior. They chained him up. Fortunately, the boy’s sister reported this to local police, who freed him from his shackles, and gave the Blows some of their own medicine. Unfortunately, the […]

Dad Lets Son Wrestle With Pet Bear

Expect to see Daniel Herbert and his son Josh on the short list for this year’s Darwin Awards. Daniel, you see, is of the opinion that having a 450-pound black bear as a housepet is a good idea. But wait! It gets better! Daniel also thinks that his ursine buddy is an excellent sparing partner […]

A mother and her boyfriend have been arrested for starving her two-year-old daughter, Adacelli, who had cerebral palsy, to death.
If only I had a big spinning wheel like the one on Wheel of Fortune…then I could play my favorite game, the Blame Game. Who will be blamed for this tragedy? Will it be:
