A hot tipper sent along a story about two parents who make Brandon Alan Austill, the dad who cattle-prodded his own baby, look like a canonized saint. Terry and Chandy Indula’s 3-year-old daughter is close to death after being tortured by the dad and stepmom for months on end. Authorities in Modesto, California say that […]
I encountered this story on Friday, and decided to save it for a weekend write-up. I was reminded to get off my ass and post it by Ven’ys of Akarya, who sent me the link and said, “I saw this, and unfortunately, thought of you. Sorry.” No problem, Ven’ys; I’ve gotten used to people thinking […]
Ugh. Hot tippers Monique and Joanne brought me news of this latest case of child imprisonment. It seems like we’ve been wading through a lot of these lately - from the case of Randall Piercy, who treated his son like a concentration camp prisoner, to the Egyptian couple who treated a young girl like their […]
Here’s one from hottest of the hot tippers Karen Rani that demonstrates how far our country has come in four decades. Cheryl Athene Miller was living in San Francisco when her brother, racked with guilt after decades of silence, informed police that his sister had killed four of her six children between 1965 and 1970. […]
It’s very generous for a mother and father who already have five children to take in a 9-year-old girl from their homeland, and treat her as if she were her own daughter. But when the parents choose instead to treat her worse than they would the family cat, it’s criminal. Abdel-Nasser Youssef Ibrahim and his […]
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 […]
Hot tipper Molly sent along this disgusting story from San Bernadino, California whose first paragraph alone made me wanna puke up the breakfast I hadn’t eaten. And I quote: “A 4-year-old boy who died at a hospital Wednesday had a history of being beaten unconscious by his father while his mother stood by in silence, […]
This Associated Press piece about parents who go insane during their children’s sports games contains some real doozies. One of them is the story of Cory Petero, a 36-year-old Pop Warner football assistant coach who decided it was a great idea to shove one of the opposing team’s 13-year-old players to the ground. Petero’s winning […]
New legislation approved by the California Senate would make it a misdemeanor to kill your children softly with your smoke. Bill Ab 379 would make it a misdemeanor to light up in the car with your kids present, punishable by a $100 fine. The bill passed 23-14, with many conservatives choosing to fight for mom […]
In a move that would never be described as “money”, Jacob Calero and wife Michelle De La Vega took a trip to Vegas, leaving their puppies with her mother - and their two young kids by themselves.
Joshua, 9, and Jacob, 5 - did I mention that Jacob is autistic? - were left to fend […]
