Last summer when Pittsfield, Mass. Police and Department of Social Service workers showed up at Jennifer Johnson’s apartment, they found her three-year-old alone in a barren room. Clad only in her underpants, the girl sported a black eye and bruises on her face, shoulder, head and leg. The large, oval-shaped bruise on the inside of […]
Poor Robert Croak Jr. He probably thought he was being clever when he manipulated his work schedule to avoid paying an ass-ton of funds in child support. A nuclear power plant specialist by trade, Croak is unemployed for large periods of time as a matter of course. But the Massachusetts Courts of Appeals this week […]
We’re seeing a new trend in stories about moms and dads who act like assholes toward their pregnant offspring. It’s a two-for-your-money Parent Behaving Badly - a parent who puts their child and grandchild at risk simultaneously. Most of these recent stories have centered around parents attempting to force an abortion upon an unwilling daughter. […]
I always like stories that allow me to visit the lesser end of crimes that parents commit against their kids. While failure to pay child support is certainly nothing to take lightly, it doesn’t hold a candle to shooting one’s kids or imprisoning them in their rooms. This respite from extreme stories is made all […]
To the Boston, Massachusetts mother who put her newborn baby into a trash bag and left him in a vacant lot:
You are one cold-hearted bitch.
Your life is tough? You didn’t want your baby? That’s why Massachusetts passed Safe Haven laws for the express purpose of helping moms like yourself. Did you ever stop to think […]
There’s this one episode of The Sopranos that sums up Tony Soprano’s character so well. Tony has spent several episodes dumping love and affection on a horse that he recently bought. One night, the stable burns down, killing his prized possession. When Tony realizes that two-faced Ralph Cifaretto (Joe Pantoliano) faked the "electrical fire" in […]
They’re trying to be all nice and restrained when they talk to the press about it, but make no mistake: the Boston Police are pissed. BPD Commissioner Kathleen O’Toole is demanding parents crack down on their hoodlum teens in the wake of two cases where parental perjury obstructed justice. In one case, 45-year-old Nadine Sanders […]
Like any good father, Alton Hanscom involved his son, Mark, in the family business. Sadly, that’s where any similar between Hanscom and a good parent ends. After several months of undercover buys, police raided the Hanscom’s housing development apartment and found over 1,000 Oxycontin pills - some of them in plain sight in the room […]
Well, duh. Of COURSE there are parents out there who oppose Halloween for religious reasons. But as much as I like to lay down the snark, I actually found this article interesting and somewhat enlightening.
I feel bad for Elizabeth Silvia, the high schooler who recounts the taunting that she endured at the hands of her […]
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 […]
