   My vote goes to those folks who substitute prayers for basic medicine and allow their kids to die:

   This is tough...but my vote for worst is the rapist dad and then the mom who filmed her 13-year-old daughter in a porn video. (But the mom who threw her daughter in front of the car gets a dishonorable mention.)

   Sadly, since most of these kids are still alive, I don't think most of these cases even make the list. Disturbing as it is to realize that it gets a lot worse, it definitely does.

   I can't believe you didn't include that horrible, awful, horrendous and totally sickening case that came out of a town in Austria. That's a country in Europe...
   
   Anyway, the father was found to have imprisoned his daughter in a sound-proofed cellar for 24 years - yes, 24 years! - and fathered seven children by her. He was charged with the murder of one of their children who died shortly after birth.

   Abolish parenthood and replace it with lovable robots, like Furbies.

      Yeah, Lori Drea is a real moron. Her crime pre-dated my blog, ao I had never posted about her. Glad she was found guilty not long ago--wish it woulda been way sooner. I have a teen daughter and I can't imagine even getting an idea like this lady did. Lori Drew has an evil in her that defies words. And as a mother...what a freak show.

   I noticed you made an update on that post about Fritzl. Any chance of a thank-you and link to my blog?
