Granted, maybe we’re seeing these pictures out of context. But you have to feel the normal context to be viewing these pictures would be having them entered as evidence at a family court hearing.
Dear Og, several of those are horrifying. Some people are such shits.
Some may be 'shops. Some may be staged, poor taste, but still some are just jokes. Some show a very different value system that people in other countries may have. Some the child in question is so young, it may not even matter. I know I’ve seen worse on the web, but seen trough the filter of my points above, I don’t bat an eyelash. They’re not my kids. I don’t even have kids. It’s not worth worrying about.
Is the problem with the last photo just that the mother is on her phone? It seemed a bit pathetic following the others - it just looks to me like she is sending/getting ready to take a photo of her new baby. I assume that’s why the nurse is holding it up.
In the second picture, is the beer the baby is drinking or the mullet he is sporting the worse parenting fail?
Yeah, I’m curious. Maybe it’s that it looks like the other person (nurse?) is all, “Look, your new baby, all swaddled for you to hold and love” and Mom’s presented as being, “Yeah, that’s nice, TEXTING!”
What was bad about the Satan one? He rocks! 
There was a really funny animal one that showed a duck being stepped on by his mom. I saw it on a parenting fail list a while ago. Here it is. I think he was probably OK after but still–poor baby!
So. Where can I get my kid a ‘I love Satan’ tshirt?
In scary rural PA, I once drove by a family gathered in their front yard for…for what purpose, I’m not sure…
The dad, presumably, was showing a 3-4 year old how to use a chainsaw. I mean… the thing was ON. The kid was holding it.
YIKES!
Where do you get the Hitler doll? I’ve already got my Lizzie Borden bobblehead and my Andreas Baader coffee cup and the Joe Stalin T-shirt, but I need to complete the collection.
In fairness, the kid with the dart in his forehead might not be a parenting fail as much as a “sometimes kids are stupid” fail. Unless the parent threw the dart AT the kid, to me that one reads more like “kids mistake potential for trouble when playing with sharp objects” which is…well. Parents can’t watch them ALL the time. Kids do stupid shit.
There’s apparently an unfilled niche in the marketplace for Nazi and Satanic memorabilia. Maybe I should open a store.
Of course not. Sometimes you’re at a Bon Jovi concert. That’s why you’ve got to keep the eleven-year-old healthy.
The baby in WalMart with a bag over its head? I witnessed that in the grocery store once. I try hard to mind my own business when it comes to how other people parent, but we were in the checkout line, the little kid (maybe 2YO) had emptied all the apples or whatever out of the produce bag, and was putting the bag over her head. Her mother was standing there, cluelessly reading one of the checkout stand magazines. I waited a second to see if the mother was going to notice, but apparently she wasn’t. Finally I said “Uh, excuse me, I know little kids can move really fast; I don’t think that’s a safe thing to be doing”.
The mother took the bag away from the child, inspected it, said to me “Uh, whatever; it’s got a hole in the bottom” and handed it back to the child! :eek:
OTOH, I used to catch a lot of grief from other moms when my oldest was a baby. I had a nice stroller for her, but when I put her in it for more than, oh, 15 minutes, she would more than likely fall asleep. But she’d fall asleep completely slumped over with her head on the plastic tray. Many, many mothers/grandmothers would criticize me: “Oh, my! Get that poor baby a pillow!” “That baby needs to be reclined, not slumped over like that!” But the fact is, I tried a small pillow, and she worked it out of her stroller and slumped over. I tried reclining the back of the stroller, and she would work her way forward anyway and slump over. After a while, I could only assume that’s the position she wanted to be in. I tried explaining this to a number of people, but could tell they really just thought I was a defective parent. . .
Come to think of it, that Hitler doll is a bad idea. Pull your dolly’s string and then have to tell Mommy it invaded Poland? You’d most likely get a spanking.
To me, the satan one is a girl misspelling santa.
The dart one could be a complete accident. Someone else was playing with darts and the little girl ran in front. or the kid(s) got into the darts while parents weren’t looking ( yes, the parents should be watching the kids, but those things could happen in the time it takes to go to the toilet!)
the ticket and question ones are trolling
a few are photoshopped.
The mother could be about to take a photo of the kid, or is checking the photo she just took. she could be telling someone that she has had the baby.
My pet peeve is when you see people carrying really young babies, who still can’t support their heads, and they just let the child’s head flop about. It’s not that hard to put a hand behind your child’s neck!
That’s one I was wondering about. Can a thrown ordinary dart (as opposed to a lawn dart) penetrate someone’s skull? 
I would have thought it would just about need to be hammered in.
Could be the kid was running, holding the dart in her hand point upright, then tripped and fell so the dart was trapped between her head and the ground. You’d get a lot more force that way. Still a million to one shot though.
I think the little boy next to the lion is my favorite.
Reported.
The sexy underwear with the ass up in the air one is an obvious photoshop.
The one where the guy has a baby on his back and is sitting on the train reminded me of a man walking along with his daughter (or might have been his son) up on his shoulders. He walked into a shop. There were screams of horror and shouts of “STOP! STOP!!!”
He ignored everyone and kept going (and he wasn’t walking particularly slowly.
Amazingly enough the child didn’t die, or suffer any injury, his/her sun hat was knocked off his/her head though. Several people rushed forward and started telling the man off. He didn’t give a damn.
:eek:
