When you dig through as many texts from bad parents as I have, you start to see some patterns emerge.

Daycare employees put soap in 4-year-old’s mouth after he said a bad word, was told to do so by his mother: ‘It was probably his first time and he was probably confused, in pain, scared and crying’

I had a potty mouth when I was a kid, and to be honest, I’ve still got one. I come from a family of swearers, and when I was in the 6th grade, I watched all 15 South Park seasons (at the time) on my unsupervised laptop. The latter turned me into an expert in …

If you’re allergic to a certain food, the price of that food item isn’t going to make you any less allergic. For example, if you need an EpiPen just from looking at shellfish, you’re not likely to cash in on that coupon for Red Lobster anytime soon. But the mom in this next story wielded …

‘She said just to ignore it’: Mom steals her daughter’s identity and runs up $6,000 in debt, college girl catches her thieving parent in a lie after getting chastised for financial awareness

Parents are supposed to look out for their kids. Unlike creatures in the animal kingdom who kick their babies out of the nest the day they’re old enough to fend for themselves, humans are unique in sustaining their empathy for their grown children’s life dilemmas. That is, of course, unless they’re the predatory type of …
