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, […]
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. […]
Both Sinthyia and Charming Bitch get the head-nod for this unbelievably horrifying story about Charles and Tiffany Beattie. It is, according to Fruitland Park, Florida Chief of Police JP Isom, one of the worst cases of child abuse he’s ever seen. The couple, both in their early 20s, stand accused of multiple counts of abuse […]
Holy crap, folks, there’s just too much to write about today. Tips are flying in fast and furious; I can’t keep up with them. It seems that bad parents are coming out of the woodwork. What the hell? Did someone taint the world’s water supply with a few metric tons of Crazy-Ass Juice?
That’s the only […]
Chris Young, the dad who came within feet of driving off of a cliff with all of his kids in the car with him, pleaded guilty to second-degree felony child abuse after his jury trial deadlocked. He’s been sentenced for 1 to 15 years in prison for his crime. Personally, I’m hoping for something closer […]
Valeria Shakhov probably won’t attain the level of ignominy that was earned by Debra Diaz, who was accused of injecting her kids with tainted blood. But the two moms appear to be cut from the same cloth. Shakhov was arrested after hospital staff, suspecting Munchausen syndrome by proxy was in da house, put her under […]
The parents of 9-year-old Mubashar Ali of Pakistan are being accused of neglect for sitting in the next room while their son hung himself in a re-enactment of Saddam Hussein’s execution. The video of the former dictator dangling from the rafters has reportedly been airing on Pakistani TV all weekend. Ali, motivated by God knows […]
Seeing that the entire world has emailed me this story, I consider it my duty to blog it. Motorists and police were amazed - and frightened - to see little Damon Dyer walking along the high-speed Interstate 465. Miraculously, concerned adults got him off of the road before he was killed. These strangers showed more […]
