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 […]
Un-fracking-believable. Charming Bitch has updated me on the case of Teresa Moses, the woman who tortured her beautiful son Raijon Daniels to death in a basement dungeon. At the time of her arrest, Moses insisted that her boy had swallowed Pine-Sol while holed up in the basement. But the autopsy report, which was recently released, […]
As if microwaving your baby wasn’t bad enough, Sharlyn Singh allegedly tried to do China Arnold one better. The 29-year-old Orlando, Florida mother has been arrested on charges of shoving her 11-month-old baby into a hot oven. The article’s a little ambiguous as to whether the baby was in any immediate danger of being baked, […]
I was watching a Family Guy rerun last night which had a Lindbergh baby spoof. In the scenes, the Lindbergh’s son is playing on the toilet when he accidentally flushes himself. Immediately, Papa Lindbergh concocts a story regarding his “kidnapping”. His wife points to Amelia Earhart, who’s standing in the bathroom doorway, and asks, “But […]
Your votes are in, and it’s official: Melinda Duckett has been voted by Parents Behaving Badly readers as the Worst Parent of 2006. When I announced the awards originally, I had this to say about the deceased mama:
Holy shit…where to begin? The Florida mom offed herself after appearing on Nancy Grace and being grilled over […]
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, […]
I know a lot of people want me to blog about Ashley, the girl whose parents are keeping her body small in a radical bid to give her better treatment. Ashley has a crippling disease known as static encephalopathy; her mom and dad have chosen for the severely retarded girl to have a hysterectomy and […]
Here’s Nancy Dyer at her first court appearance. (Thanks, Sinthyia.) Dyer, you’ll recall, is the mom who was fast asleep while her toddler took a stroll on Indianapolis’ I-465. No big events at today’s court appearance, which was simply a bond hearing. The report does describe Dyer as “articulate”, which is not surprising given her […]
When I wrote for Blogging Baby, I found that there was a whole cadre of folks who are virulently anti-adoption. They believe that the adoption industry is an inherently evil, immoral entity that tears families apart. I hadn’t encountered these folks again, though, until today, when MCA alerted me to the case of Allison Quets. […]
