Hosanna! The mom and four kids who were abducted this weekend have been found safe in a motel room. The childrens’ father, Jerry D. White, took them there by force after invading the home of his ex-girlfriend Kimberly M. Walker, shooting her sister’s boyfriend in the process. Police arrested the ne’er-do-well dad as he tried […]
For those who hadn’t heard, LaShaun Harris, the Oakland, California mom who thought God told her to toss her kids into the river, was found legally insane by a judge. Too bad no one made that determination BEFORE she murdered her children. This is an obviously sick woman who should never have been left to […]
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 […]
My reader Aimee sent along this story today with the comment, “A hot mug of Justice is served.” The source of her glee? Michael and Sharen Gravelle have been convicted of felony child abuse and endangerment, plus a string of misdemeanor charges. The jury was out for four days before finalizing its verdict. Apparently jurors […]
Father David Russo has been charged with instigating the fight between teens that became a MySpace and YouTube trainwreck. Russo denies the charge. Hope it’s not true, buddy…

Okay, this has gone beyond ridiculous. If you haven’t been following the 190-comment-long Nancy Nibarger thread, you can get an update from the San Francisco Chronicle’s latest write-up. As you may remember, parents at Castro Valley High School in California called three different times for the dismissal of girls’ basketball coach Nibarger, who they claim […]
Thanks again to mgraber for this update in the case of Michael and Sharen Gravelle, the beautiful people charged with keeping their 11 special-needs foster kids locked in cages. You know, because God hadn’t been cruel enough to these kids already. This morning, Huron County Sheriff Dick Sutherland took the stand and described why the […]
I have hot tipper Keith Tipton to “thank” for this story about Steve Lively and his merry band of dysfunctional adults, who were indicted by a grand jury this week for harm they allegedly inflicted against Lively’s two teenage sons. Lively, his wife (a.k.a. the boys’ stepmom), the wife’s brother, and some fourth dude who […]
Hot tipper Vanessa Guite apologized for sending this link to me, but justified it by saying that “every horrible story needs to be told so they can be prevented.” Amen, Vanessa. And 21-year-old Michael Wilkins of Niagara Falls, New York deserves all of the loathing he receives. His three-month-old son, Marquez Wilkins, is still in […]
Thanks to MCA for providing proof that straight parents don’t have a monopoly on abuse. The Afrikaans word “Vereeniging” means “Association” or “Union”, giving it undertones of solidarity and community. But there was no community for four-year-old Jandre Botha of the town of Vereeniging, which lies in the Gauteng province of South Africa. That’s where […]
