30 People Share About The Worst Parents They’ve Ever Met That Made Them Think ‘Those Kids Are Doomed’ My son's daycare class has a kid in it who's missing an eye. He has an eyelid/lashes/etc, just was born without the tissue used to see with. He's a completely normal looking kid, it just looks like one eye is always closed and instead of the roundness of an eyeball behind is flat since it's missing. There's nothing scary, or weird, or gross about him.

I once watched a mother scream and throw a tantrum at pick up time because the teachers insisted he wouldn't be moved from the class as there's nothing wrong with him being there. She swore up and down that this kid was scaring her child and the daycare teachers should do more to 'protect her baby from people like that' and her child shouldn't have to be around 'freaks' and he should have to go with the special education kids.

Her kid seemed fine with this other kid, but his mother was horrified by him interacting with someone who wasn't her idea of normal and she lost it when the teachers refused to give into her weird demands about it. I can only imagine what f****d up prejudices this kid is going to have thanks that vile woman.

30 People Share About The Worst Parents They’ve Ever Met That Made Them Think ‘Those Kids Are Doomed’ I have an ultra-conservative (distant) family member who’s taken her anti-welfare, personal responsibility, tough love philosophy so far that she’s charging her 5-year-old rent. Apparently she gives the child a list of chores to complete, then pays her a small allowance, then takes all the allowance back to cover the girl's “bills”.

One time the little girl wanted to make some special treats for a party they were going to have at their house (don’t know what it was for), and she (the mom) replied, *“Ok, how are you going to pay for that?”* (I wasn’t there, my cousin told me this.)

I should add that this woman does not struggle financially at all. She has some bank-related corporate job and a very large, nice house. But she will by god make it VERY CLEAR to her small child that every inch of space she occupies and every bite of food she takes has a COST and must be EARNED.

30 People Share About The Worst Parents They’ve Ever Met That Made Them Think ‘Those Kids Are Doomed’ My aunt and uncle are terrible parents. Such awful people that we’ve cut almost all contact with them.

Aside from their terrible parenting of their first child, they’ve completely destroyed their second child’s chance at a life.

He was born with water on the brain (I know there’s a proper name for it but I forget). The doctors wanted to put a shunt in to drain the water and avoid damage. The parents refused for some reason, so the kid ended up with some slight brain damage. It probably wouldn’t have been too bad. He’d always be behind his peers and he’d be delayed but he had a good chance of being somewhat independent one day and living an overall happy life.

Of course in order to achieve this, his parents would have to work diligently with him to catch up delayed development, and likely have him in some sort of developmental therapy and the likes (which I know the gov. and my uncles work benefits would’ve helped cover, not that money was an issue anyways). Instead his parents decided to ignore his problems completely. They never spoke to the family about it and we’re all pretty sure they think we don’t notice that the kid is a bit different.

Anyways, he just turned 10 and isn’t potty trained which he absolutely has the ability for, they just never bothered teaching him. He can’t read at all, which again he is technically capable of, just nobody has taught him. He can’t speak clearly at all, I can’t understand him although I know he is trying to say valuable and competent things. He’s been removed from countless schools because his parents refuse to put him in the special ed classes or get him any extra help. His parents are also super cold. They never hug or praise their kids. He is extremely violent and never receives any discipline. I can see him becoming a serial killer or something in the future because he loves torture, weapons, and dead animals. It’s probably from the lack of affection his parents gave him but I know whatever happens to him in the future isn’t really his fault. He was never taught anything in life and it’s so sad.

And in a great many states it’s entirely legal and quite common for children to handle guns with adult supervision, attend youth hunting camps and youth gun safety camps and take part in youth gun sports and hunt or target shoot and take part in shooting games with parents or other responsible adults. It’s perfectly normal and not f****d up at all.

@Leolynn, in many states it is perfectly legal for children to open carry in public WITHOUT adult supervision. I remember reading recently about legislation being shot down (no pun intended) in one state that would have made that illegal unless an adult accompanied the minor.

30 People Share About The Worst Parents They’ve Ever Met That Made Them Think ‘Those Kids Are Doomed’ I worked with a guy who's about 5 years older than me. I was 20 at the time so he'd have been about 25. Still lived at home with his parents because mom wasn't ready to "let him go." He had a 9pm curfew and ALWAYS had to have permission to "go over to a friend's house."

I was nice to him because I felt bad for him and I guess in his mind, that meant we were friends so I got to know him slightly better than you would a standard coworker. He did have a learning disability (so helicopter mom's got a valid concern) but he wasn't r******d or slow. He was a fully capable adult.

The first time I met his mom I KNEW there was no hope for this guy. She CONSTANTLY controlled his every move. He couldn't eat certain foods because they'd "give you gas" or "I don't think you'd like that anyway," and he wasn't allowed to do ANYTHING without her permission. He had his license, but she drove him to and from work. She even ended up getting a job in the same building, though a different department, and I suspect it had nothing to do with "carpooling to save gas money."

Last I heard, he FINALLY was able to get his own apartment, but I still see them around town together. I NEVER see him on his own. She'll even go with him to the bathroom at the county fair... And I'm 27 now so he's gotta be around 32ish.

Helicopter mom ruined that guy and he's gonna be so screwed when she kicks it and leaves him behind.

30 People Share About The Worst Parents They’ve Ever Met That Made Them Think ‘Those Kids Are Doomed’ I try not to think this - I work in child protective services and that means I have to find every possible way I can to reach parents to change behaviors, lifestyles, etc that threaten the safety or wellbeing of their children.

With that being said, the most frustrating for me was a mother who was emotionally and mentally abusive to a daughter who has mental health issues.

The mom, daughter, and brother were all survivors of an extremely physically abusive father (mom's ex), the children at a very young age that very clearly caused them immense trauma that manifested as or exacerbated existing mental health issues (violent outbursts, inability to regulate emotions, several other things all piled together - **I initially had listed ADHD here but several commenters are correct in stating this is not caused by trauma. I apologize for that misinformation. In this situation it was definitely exacerbated by her trauma, both past and ongoing, though - both in terms of not getting proper treatment/help and in terms of added stresses).** I became involved years after that man was out of the picture.

Mom spent the entire time I was involved with the family essentially blaming everything on the daughter's outbursts and as much as said with her daughter present (and old enough to understand) "she was forced on me when he took off his condom" with regards to whether the daughter was planned or an accident. I spent several days working with this family and not once did I hear the mother say anything resembling love, affection, caring, kindness, or understanding towards her daughter and the vast majority of the time the mother was trying to elicit sympathy from other adults in terms of how difficult the kid was to manage. She made multiple disparaging comments about her daughter as if she wasn't present in the room, coldly ignored her for large periods of time while sitting right next to her, etc. She very obviously still had her own trauma from the abusive ex and seemed to transplant all of her negativity towards him into her behavior towards her daughter. We had statements by police officers involved after one of the violent outbursts by the daughter that the mother told them (in front of daughter) "take her away, take her anywhere, I don't care where she goes, just get her the hell out of my house.

The daughter wasn't even a teenager.

I have no idea what happened following my involvement (I'm mostly investigative) but yeah...that kid's got a rough future ahead no matter which of several possible scenarios plays out .

30 People Share About The Worst Parents They’ve Ever Met That Made Them Think ‘Those Kids Are Doomed’ I was at a child's birthday party once and was pushing a big group of kids on the merry-go-round. This one or two year old boy, not from the party, started meandering his way toward us with no regard for the large metal spinning disc he was about to walk into. I slowed the merry-go-round (much to the dismay of the kids on it) and went to lead the boy away. He then said something, I don't really remember what, that indicated he was thirsty. I looked over at the lady who had brought him there and waved her over. It took a while to get her attention, since she definitely was not looking our way at all. She eventually got up reluctantly to come toward us and it turned out to be his grandma. Once I told her that he was thirsty, she started to pour her Mountain Dew energy drink down his throat with no hesitation. I stopped her and said I had plenty of bottles of water from our party and I would get some. She shrugged and accepted one, let him drink a little, and then walked away from him again to go back to smoking her cigarette about 10 yards away.

It was pretty upsetting to imagine the possibilities of how that kid's life was going to be. I know it's not a huge deal, and I'm not a parent so I try my best not to judge others, but force feeding a child sugar filled energy drinks on a hot day in replacement of water seems to be the first sign that the guidance in that family isn't going to be the best.

Oh, and on a similar judgmental note, I know a kid whose first words were "Chicken Nugget".

Oh god. It's my time to shine.

Kid A: 8th grade girl. She was in honors English but missed almost every day of school due to a "medical issue." Mom got a doctor to sign off that she had some sort of injury that makes her incapable of attending school. Meanwhile, the kid is posting all over her social media about all these just jitsu tournaments she competes in.

Kid eventually was switched to my class after the last teacher refused to accept homework which was clearly done by mom (in mom's handwriting and everything). She has missed every single day of school since being switched to my class. I have never met this kid and she's been enrolled in my class for several months.

The best part? The school and district can't/won't do anything about it because mom sued the school about her son and somehow has the district paying for him to attend a private school. She's threatened to sue over the daughter too, but I don't really see how. Mom also works for my school district and gets a stipend to teach her "sickly" daughter from home.

Kid B: 8th grade boy. Mom has accused every teacher this kid has ever had of being "out to get her son" since kindergarten. I was warned about her and her kid before school began. I was told to never call home without an administrator present and basically that there are no consequences for this kid because he is "special needs" and mom has threatened to sue.

This kid does nothing other than disrupt class. On the few occasions I've gotten him to work, he's been completely competent and fully capable, but there's no punishment for doing nothing, so he chooses to mess around instead. The kid will ask to go to the bathroom and instead spends 20-30 minutes just wandering campus, peeking into classrooms whatever. I've had to have campus supervisors find him and bring him back more times than I can count. Sometimes he wanders out of the room without permission. But legally I can't stop him due to his "needs."

The kid pissed all over the boy's bathroom once. No consequences. He took another kid's phone and chucked it outside on the concrete in the middle of class, smashing it to pieces. Sent him to the office and they sent him right back. He's been in multiple fights. The school actually suspended him for once. Now mom is saying that due to his "needs" he should be exempt from suspensions.

. . . I could keep going all day. But those are probably the two most out there. I got all the crazy parents this year.

They live with her mom, who is mainly the person who takes care of her 2 year old but she spoils him and he is extremely bratty. He hits, bites, and spits in the face of every kid that comes near him. He throws giant tantrums for up to an hour sometimes that usually end in him getting what he wants. His mom hardly ever interacts with him even though she lives in the same house, she is usually just on her phone. Once when I stayed the night at their house i went to the kitchen at like 2am and he was awake begging for his mom to put him to sleep and she ignored him and continued to just watch tv.

the woman slept with every man she met, was having a serious relationship with a married man and hated girls who weren’t white (aka me). She told him she would choose to which uni he’d attend and what he would study and who he would marry.

These former friends of ours. It's really sad. The girlfriend intentionally got pregnant immediately after my SO and I announced that we were having a baby. She stopped taking her BC and lied, and then let it slip shortly thereafter. Apparently she didn't like the attention in our friends group being taken off her and onto us. So that's a great reason to bring a child into the world, right? It only gets worse from there, as both of their main concern seemed to be "How are we going to get rid of this kid as much as possible?" before the poor thing even arrived. And the father would sit around laughing out loud at all of the abusive things he was going to subject the child to, how he "wasn't going to let him grow up to be some pussy" and would slap him around and refuse to hold him when he cried to "toughen him up". The baby arrived a few months after ours and as far as I know, they mostly leave him with the mother's parents and do their thing. Before I cut them out of my life for being total a******s in general, they were constantly posting pictures on FB of things like them force-feeding him thick rice cereal off a spoon when he was SIX WEEKS OLD, frequent photos of the two of them in some distant vacation spot with no sign of the baby, pictures of them stuffing him into a duffel bag for some unknown reason, and the father basically saying that if the government came to take his guns, he'd rather they take the kid first. BYE A**HATS!

To every who’s saying to call CPS, I wanted to. I don’t know their address though and when I tried to look it up on the property appraisers website they weren’t there so they either rented or are living in a relatives home or something. I know the city they live in and their names but we weren’t that close with them for obvious reasons. When we would all hang out, it was never at their house. Is there another way for me to find out without making it extremely obvious that I’m the one who called?

ETA 2: Okay it’s worth a try I guess. I will give CPS a call and see if names and city are enough to go on. I really feel bad for that baby. He’s about 1.5 years old now and hopefully still okay. I haven’t seen or talked to them in months.

They will never know who called CPS as they aren't allowed to tell them. You can also report them anonymously to CPS, you don't HAVE to give them your information. Dates, times and exact descriptions of what you PERSONALLY have witnessed is what you want to tell them. No hearsay. First, check their Facebook pages to see if any of the things you described are still posted. Copy anything you can find for CPS records. Good luck.

That's what happened to my cousin. Obesity runs in my family (I'm adopted) and my cousin's parents are both morbidly obese.

I have memories of a family gathering when I was 12ish and my cousin was 6ish, and her mom brought her over a heaping plate of food... we're talking like 2x a "normal" adult-sized portion. Three full-size tacos, two scoops of rice, two scoops of beans, and she says to my 6-year-old cousin "Clean your plate, sweetie!" We've seen multiple family members die young to obesity-related health problems. My little cousin is currently 34 years old, is morbidly obese, has fatty liver disease, is pre-diabetic, and has so many hormonal and health issues that she is a wreck. She cannot even breathe properly any more. I love my cousin and I do not know what to do. I'm watching her slowly die.

My 30 year old former roommate had a kid accidentally when she was 19, and watching her parenting made me... Sad. She doesn't have the emotional maturity to show him she loves him, and expects him to bridge the gap between them. She just doesn't know how to give without taking. One time she honestly looked into giving him up to the state. He kept making suicide jokes at school and causing problems for her. I sat with her trying to explain why she had to take responsibility for her kid. I even said something like, "People like you who have children and choose not to put the effort into raising them are why the world is a s****y place". I honestly don't know if she'll ever grow up and get her s**t together, but I hope she does, for the kid's sake. After living with him, I love him, and I hope he can rise above her childish, negative attitude. I tried to offer him as much support as I could, but after a bunch of personal problems between me and his mother, it became worse for me to stay.

The parents in question often held parties that they "supervised" and supplied alcohol for with the reasoning that kids were going to do that stuff anyway, and it was better they had a safe place to do it. In reality they were alcoholics who didn't work, and just wanted people to partake in their misery. They wanted drinking buddies instead of guiding their children. Granted, most of them have now become adults and overcame their parents' selfishness and toxicity, but not without a a fair amount of trauma and dysfunction

Worst situation I ever dealt with: She was a heroin addict, sent her kids (two primary school age girls) to school unfed, in dirty, torn clothes and with shoes where the soles were falling off. We (teacher at an inner city school) got social services involved. They were great, really tried to help the mother and the kids. Checked up on them regularly, arranged parenting classes and drug rehabilitation support for mum. Nothing worked. Eventually the kids were taken away and put into foster care. On the day that mum agreed to give up her kids and to allow them to be adopted she said to me "Well I lasted 6 years as a parent, that's one more year than my mum." Let's hope the kids can break the cycle, they were adopted by a lovely couple and moved out of the city. Often wonder what happened to them.

Sadly the kid hero worshipped him anyway and was absolutely furious with his mother when she finally put an end to the dad's shared custody or whatever it was.

This list is terrible but there's more tenacity in children than you think. I grew up horrible my mom was a non functioning drug addict who rotated abusive men. I decided early that I'm breaking the cycle. I mean at 4 I was determined to never become like my mother. I became a voracious reader because education wasn't going to be an option for me. I also understood early, at 8, that no one loved me so I was going to love me and no one else nurtured me so I nurtured myself. I make sure to do thing everyday that makes me feel grounded and fuzzy. Now in my 40's I'm independent to a fault but I've made a good life and I surround myself with only kind people. I can also declare that I broke the babies too young, violence, severe drug addiction, sexual assault, cruelty, poverty, intolerance, multiple toxic relationships cycle completely.

How are we going to get around this?" (2) Father, who owns a car dealership, comes in and asked that his son's math grade from last school year be raised "so to make him more marketable to college". Us: "When you take a car as a trade-in, do you roll back its mileage to make it more marketable?" Dad: "of course not!" Us: "Isn't that what you're asking us to do?" He had trouble recognizing our comparison, but it's so tricky debating moral philosophy with a used car dealer.

I feel bad for my two cousins; they never had a chance really. They grew up in poverty with a father who was an alcoholic and mother who was an addict. They were raised to ask our grandparents for money (because the grandparents wouldn't tell their grandchildren no), had no work ethic, and no guidance. Both parents have passed now. At their father's funeral, one cousin was only there to try to ask for the dad's truck which was left to a friend (they weren't even talking at this point and neither kid helped at all with the funeral or expenses). They only say hello when they want to ask for money, which we try to empathize but can't really help out with. It's a shame.

Those parents were canny though, never gave me more than 15 hours a week which is 1 hour below the "you're actually employing someone" limit where I live. So I got none of the benefits of unemployment when that contract ended, and they got away with the tax breaks. Which they spent on new phones/tv/iPad etc, not their children.
