Talk about taking the cake. This story is nowhere as egregious as others we’ve profiled, but…damn. The “ick” factor cannot be denied. Musings of a Girl writes about a Daily Mail article by journalist Anne Atkins, in which one of Atkins’ friends dared her to try and “befriend” one of her own kids through a […]
The case of Molly Campbell is one of those where you know someone’s on the wrong side of their child’s best interests; it’s just not straightforward determining who that someone is. In this case, the nod appears to go to Molly Campbell’s father, And Sajad Rana, who stands accused in a Pakistani court of "abducting" […]
Okay, I’ve had enough of this. John Hogan’s gone too far with his little "poor me" routine, and it’s turning my stomach. Hogan, as you will remember, is the UK dad who grabbed his two kids and dashed off the balcony of his hotel room in Greece, killing his son and injuring himself and his […]
Not only does it look like John Hogan is not carrying through on his plan to kill hmself properly, but the British dad who killed his son in a murder-suicide leap stands to serve no more than a brief stint in jail. According to the Daily Record, Hogan will plead guilty to "the Greek equivalent […]
Ugh. The John Hogan case has got to be the most heart-rending tragedy I’ve encountered in years. New information is leaking out slowly, come of it contradictory. One news report claims that Hogan tossed his son Liam to his death before jumping with his daughter in his arms; another report claims he cradled both kids […]
The wife of John Hogan, the man I christened a "total bastard" after he jumped off of a hotel balcony window with his son and daughter, is defending her husband. Natasha Hogan claims her significant other’s actions were "totally out of character".
Um…okaaaay. Apparently, society’s definition of "good parent" is becoming more lax by the […]
Recently, I caused a stir on DadCentric when I maintained that people who commit suicide are selfish pricks. I stand by that contention. It’s perfectly possible to have compassion for someone who’s suffering to the point of self-immolation, but revile them for saddling their survivors with so much pain and grief.
At the time, I […]
Big Brother is watching you - but only if you’re not paying child support. A new proposal put forward to reform the country’s crappy Child Support Agency would slap electronic monitoring devices on parents who are in arrears on the money they owe their kids. Supporters of the legislation say that tagging would be more […]
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 […]
