Hey Reddit, what is the most extreme example of bad parenting you have ever witnessed?

I once saw a man pull his car to the side of a rural road, pull out a joint roller, roll a joint in front of his eight year old son who was sitting in the front seat, spark it, and then proceed to offer it to his son.

You know what the kid said? I'll tell you what I said, I said: "Uh, no thanks, Dad."

I pulled jury duty on a termination of parental rights case a while back. Some of the highlights:

4 kids, all under the age of 10
Dirty diapers were put in a 55gal drum, kept inside the trailer and never emptied, "'cuz it ain't never got full."
Wife was severely beaten in front of the kids.
Parents ran a webcam based porn business, conducting business sometimes with the kids in the room.
Father was instructed to attend anger management classes. He didn't go even though he would have been paid to go and given free transportation.
Ditto for the mom and parenting classes
All 4 kids were severely malnourished, the older one would beg for food at the neighbor's house (this is how it was all discovered). The 6 year old girl had to have her head shaved because of the mats that had formed. None could recall their last bath.
All the kids had at least one severe parasitic infection in addition to lice.

Fortunately, the kids are now out of there and both the parents went to prison for child abuse (in a seperate trial).

When I was in high school there was a kid named Jared living down the street from me whose mom was an alcoholic and addicted to pills. I was working at a pizza place at the time and we always got a small pizza for our shift meals. I knew that Jared wasn't eating very well so I always just cooked my pizza, boxed it up, and brought it to his house when my shift was over. This was in a small town so a lot of other employees started doing the same thing. Eventually the owner of the restaurant caught wind of it and just decided to let him come in everyday after he got out of school. We would feed him and maybe give him advice about life and he would keep us company. He knew we were doing something special for him and kept asking my boss for a job so he could pay him back. Jared was eight at the time so my boss would explain he couldn't work until he turned fourteen.

This went on for about six months, but eventually he started coming in less and less until we were back to the routine of dropping a pizza off at his house every once in awhile. I should probably mention that every time I, or anyone else stopped by, his mom was always passed out in a recliner with a six-pack of empty beer cans on the table next to her. It was also rumored she had contracted Hep C from blowing some guy for whatever her drug of choice was at the time so she was pretty jaundiced looking. She once had the nerve to ask me if I had any money for her when I was dropping off dinner for her son. When he eventually got old enough to prepare his own meals he stopped coming in altogether, and refused to take any more food from us.

I graduated highschool and quit my job at the restarant to go to college. I hadn’t heard about Jared in a few years until one day I got a call from my old boss. Jared had recently turned fourteen and one of the first things he did was go down to the restaurant and tell my boss he could work for him now. My boss hired him on the spot. He was a kid whose mom was spending all of her walfare money at the bar and he was taking responsibility.

Heavy drug use during pregnancy. Can't even get the kid out into the world before you are screwing it up.

I had a child dropped off at my daycare still wearing the dirty diaper from the night before, still in PJ's with a dunkaroo (cookies with icing) in her hand because the parents slept in and didn't have time to get her breakfast. They did however have time to stop for coffee before dropping her off. She was 13 months old at the time.

In a crowded shopping street I saw a man kick his small son (~5). Not gently either. The guy had bent his leg up and kicked downwards on the kid's little backpack. Kid drops to the ground, starts bawling his eyes out. The guy is yelling. Kid tries to get up, guy kicks him again (soft this time, but the kid is back on the ground). Mother stops the guy and just like that it was over.

I was on an airplane going from Minneapolis to Colorado. In the seat behind me was a mom and her little shit of a son. The kid kept kicking the back of my chair, swearing like a sailor, and was over all being obnoxious. Whenever the mom would politely ask the kid to be quiet the kid would just tell her to shut up. The kid was about 7 too, mom definitely should have been able to get this kid under control. Finally I'm starting to get pissed off and this kid is ruining the flight for me so I ask the kid to please stop kicking my chair and to tone it down. The kid then tells me "your not my dad, I don't have to fucking obey you" I glanced at the mom to see if she would back me up but instead she just apologized for her sons behavior yet did nothing to control it. When the mom got up to use the bathroom I got up as well to ask her to get her kid in line, she took offense to this and got pissed at me for telling her how to raise her kid. Not wanting to start an argument I walked away because I was getting heated at this point.

After a particularly bad bout of the kid spouting off colorful swear words to his mom I turned back gave him and his mom the most evil glare I think I've ever done and told the kid to "shut the fuck up", his mom began to protest and before she could get anywhere I added "and you get control of your god damn kid, there is a thing called discipline and your kid does not have any what so-ever, buck up and slap the kid upside the head if he starts mouthing off at you like that, at the very least take his god damn gameboy away, I don't give a flying fuck what you do, but you have to do something instead of sitting there being apathetic". She starts to protest again and this time this black lady with her kid interrupts her for me saying something like "Damn bitch you better listen to the man, and I'm sick of listening to your fucking kid too, my boy has been sitting here perfectly behaved the whole flight because I've taught him respect and discipline". Anyways kid still acted like a brat and mom didn't do anything to stop him.

Had a friend who missed probably 10 years of his life due to Coke. He turned it around though, mostly. And he was in a goth-industrial band - bondage gear, latex, leather, chicks in chainmail bras, the whole nine yards.

Friend had a friend from the "good old days" who, at the ripe old age of 39, managed to knock up a 15-year-old runaway. And, due to just how messed up the runaway's home life was, the 39-year-old ended up with custody. By the time I met the kid, she was 3.

Both of them were chain-smokers, of course. And neither of them saw any problems whatsoever to bringing a 3-year-old to a smoky club to see the midnight performance of a whips'n'chains goth-industrial band 3 hours from home. Still don't really understand why the club owner would take a risk like that. It was a weird f'ing place.

By the time of the 1st encore that was one tired-ass little kid. Of course, Dad usually kept her up to midnight or so anyway; not sure why as it interfered with him downloading bestiality wmvs via dialup. It was the kind of thing you'd report someone to CPS for... except they already had their own case-worker, who still thought the kid was better off with dad than, say, mom or mom's parents.

Never did meet mom. I shudder to think.

EDITED TO ADD:

Although now that I think of it, the first time I saw Urotsukidoji (in theaters), there was a mom'n'dad with two kids under 5 in the theater. Tossup, really - goth/industrial BDSM at midnight, or graphic tentacle rape in the loving environs of an arthouse theater. You decide.

My sister-in-law would always let these three neighborhood kids (ages 1, 5, and 6) come over for dinner. Eventually my brother got a little fed up and asked why they couldn't eat at their own house. My sister-in-law said that she didn't think they're mother fed them at all. My brother thought this was crazy so he asked the kids, "Last night when you didn't eat at our house, what did you eat?" The kids answered, "brown sugar and butter." Needless to say they stayed for dinner again and CPS were called the next morning.

Second runner-up: I went on a date with a woman who told me how she keeps a ping-pong paddle for when her daughter acts up. That would have been bad enough, without the excited crazy eyes she got when she was telling me. I should also add that this woman was into BDSM, which meant that spanking had a sexual element for her, which made the whole thing extra-squicky.

First runner-up: Friend of an ex-girlfriend, whose son was over a year old and still wasn't walking. I eventually found out that whenever he would pull himself up, she would push him back down, because "the sooner he's walking, the sooner he's getting into stuff."

Winner: My sister. I was at her house once, and her two year old son tripped and hit his head on the corner of a table. He went down crying, bleeding from a small-but-noticeable gash in his forehead. My sister's response was to stay in her chair and yell, "Sean, quit bleeding on my carpet!" I finally had to take the poor kid into the bathroom and clean him up, when she made it clear that she was only going to get up to "give him something to cry about."

I took my cousins to the park and there was one other "family" there. The dad was screaming at his kid for getting his pants dirty (it's a fucking park!). The kid starts bawling so the mom starts screaming at him to stop being such a fag. When the kid didn't stop quick enough, the dad hauled back and smacked the kid. The force was so hard the kid fell off the picnic table and onto the ground.

I was 20 at the time with three very small children (all under 7) so I called the cops rather than confront them. The dispatcher was a friend and they got the cops down there quickly. I pointed the family out. The poor kid had a welt across his face and scrapes all over his body. As the cops were filling out the report, the dad starts screaming at me. It was pretty terrifying.

The kid got taken away and the dad went to prison. I was in college at the time so I didn't have to go to court or anything. I felt terrible that I didn't do anything in the moment but I was so dumbfounded that people could be so cruel.

I work at a job with troubled kids. Before they even enter the world, some of these kids are fucked. Crack and meth exposure in ureto, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, they stop you from developing normally.

Then don't get me started on all the sick shit parents do after they're born, such as molest them. Which is more frequent than you would think.

I had a kid come up to me once and ask if me if I thought it was his fault that he was abused (molested). It made me sick. I wanted to find his father and stab him in the eye with a rusty screwdriver. That kid will probably never fully get over his trust issues with adults.

I work at Wal-Mart so I see bad parenting all the time! The thing that happens most often is parents getting their small children to help them steal, sticking cds in their pockets, putting them in strollers and hiding stuff under them. Obviously some of these people get caught, the kids get to watch their parents get arrested and then get taken away.

Another thing that happens a lot is child abuse, you'd think it doesn't but people haul off and smack their kids A LOT. I'm not talking like the kid gets smacked on the hand, or spanked for misbehaving, I'm talking full smack on the face so hard the kids almost fall over.

There was a woman with her approximately 5 or 6 year old son in WalMart. He was wearing poster boards like a sandwich board that said " Watch me, I steal". She was parading him around the store. He was crying and hanging his head. She looked completely satisfied with herself to have thought of such a clever punishment.

Sigh. Well, my mom was a foster parent so I've seen my share of abused kids. One of the worst stories, though, actually happened to my little sister (a foster child we adopted). She first came to our home when she was only a few months old. She'd been in the hospital for a while not only because her teen mother (who had a son, as well) drank and did drugs while she was in the womb...but after she was born she constantly left her strapped in a car seat, locked in a closet with a bottle propped in her mouth. The bottle had COUGH SYRUP in it (with codeine, to keep the baby asleep so she wouldn't have to deal with her). So, she was addicted to codeine at only a few months old, and it took months and months of physical therapy before she could lift her head, because the muscles in her neck never developed since she was always stuck lying in a carrier. My little sister is now 11 and suffers from a learning disability that the doctors trace back to the drug use.

"Get over here you little fucker!" said by a young mother to a toddler.

Another group of people I observed at Darien Lake. They were all waiting in a long line to get on a ride but they had left their baby in the stroller outside of the waiting area. They could see the baby every time the line wound in its direction but even if they saw something happen they never would have been able to get to it in time. There must have been at least 5 of them. To this day I still can't believe one of them couldn't wait with the baby...

My grandpa died when I was 14. My dad gave me the laptop that my grandpa had left me in his will, but he refused to let me take it to my mom's (he was like that with everything). I thought this was total bullshit because it was the one thing my grandpa left me--the same grandpa who gave me a 50-cent pack of gum for Christmas--and I should be able to take it anywhere I wanted. After finding out I took the laptop to my mom's, my dad freaked out and called me at my mom's, demanded I bring it back, and informed me that my grandpa didn't leave me shit and that my dad lied about it to make me feel better.

Needless to say, I returned the laptop in a non-working condition.

In an elevator at a mall, this obese white-woman entered with her supposedly two black daughters. One of them asks if she can have something to eat, and the mother goes "I JUST BOUGHT YOU A TOY!!" literally screaming into her ear. Then she turns her head up and smiles at me and pretends to be all nice. The same black daughter says something again, this time along the lines of "but I'm so hungry..." and the mother seriously SLAPS this child across the face, gives her the "pointed finger" and says "Shutup. We're not getting anything." The elevator landed and she went casually out the door with the one girl crying, and the other one scared as shit. I was debating whether or not to report something.

Was taking a ride on the train a few years ago and there was a junkie woman sitting a couple of row's up from me and another guy sitting on the row to the left of me. The kid must have been about three years old and like any three year old kept getting up to walk and play around. After a couple of times of her grabbing the kid and pulling him back on to the seat the woman seemed to lose it and smacked the kid in the throat with an open hand but with the power of a punch. Myself and the other guy to my left had been watching and as soon as she hit the kid we both jumped straight up and the other guy went off his nut shouting at the woman before calling the cops. Unfortunately she got off at the next stop and there weren't any police to meet her.

Oh god, I haven't thought about this in years.

When I was 14, I babysit these three kids in my neighborhood for the first time. My mom didn't want me to because she'd heard strange things about them, but I wanted the money so I could go to the movies.

So when I get there, the mom whispers to me that her husband doesn't approve of her paying babysitters, so she has to slip me the cash right away. Then she hands me her youngest son, ~age 2, in a disgustingly full diaper, then leaves.

Besides that, everything was fine for a few hours, until it started raining and the kids wanted to play in the basement. We go down the steps, and a horrible smell hits me. Apparently, they let their dogs use the basement as their restroom. Also, that is where all of the kids' inside toys were kept; it was basically their playroom. After I took them back upstairs, I mentioned something about the dogs, and the oldest kid told me that when they misbehaved, their mom would put them in a dog leash on a chain and lock them outside naked.

Obviously, I never babysat for them again. I convinced my mom to talk to child services, and I know someone visited their house, but besides that I don't think that anything ever came of it. =(

I have worked with abused kids. Some of the worst: -A nine month old with a 4 inch vaginal tare (stepdad raped her) - a 10 year-old who was severely burned in a fire set by her mother. He survived, but is now mentally handicapped and the mother's boyfriend adopted him. He loves the child and is doing an awesome job raising him. - a 4 year old who was repeatedly sodomized by her father over a 6 month period. - a group of four brothers (ages 2-7) who were removed from their home because the parents thought it was funny to watch them play with each other's genitals and give each other blow jobs. I could go on, but it makes me sad to think about some of these kids.

Hmm worst parent ever

I was out at a bar with my sister and her friend one night here in Houston. When we were leaving in the car and going to merge onto the freeway this car is riding our ass really bad. So whatever we just continue on our way and then the fucker rear ends us. So we pull over to get insurance and whatnot and the fucker burns off . So I jump in the drivers seat and we chase em (My sister only had liability). Were driving down 59 at like a 100+ mph just trying to catch up to get the tag number and the car exits so we follow and the car makes a bad turn into a parking lot hitting the curb and everything . I get out of our car run up to the window and its this drunk mojo chick crying all begging me not to turn her in and theres a fuckin baby just layin on the passenger seat no seatbelt or anything. At first I was angry at her then at myself for chasing her then at everybody. So I was all like why doesnt that baby have a car seat and she didnt speak english. But i was like fuck it get in the car . I got in her car and told my sister to follow us and I drove her home and gave her 50 bucks to get a car seat.

Who leaves their kids with a young teenage babysitter (not the bad part) and then proceeds to have someone come fix your tv, a pizza guy in the house and have very menacing looking renovators in house. You cannot tell me the leader of the renovators didn't look like he was gonna do some raping if he didn't get paid in gum.

Side Note: Who actually lets the pizza guy come inside the house? In my experience you usually meet him at the door way, and maybe if tis cold outside step into the entrance, but who lets pizza delivery persons in their family/living room?

I am sure I will get downvoted, but I have lived in Baltimore and Washington all my life. I don't understand why some black moms slap their kids in public, as well as yelling curses at them. I see white people do it too sometimes, but not even remotely close to as much as I see black mothers.
