27 Parents Who Got Publicly Shamed For Being Total Assholes

To state the obvious: Parenting is hard. Kids are messy, unreasonable, and have partially-formed brains. Taking care of them requires patience, intelligence, and determination.

Of course, thanks to the miracle of reproduction some people possess none of these qualities but have kids anyway. And the rest of us have to suffer for it. Here are a few examples of some terrible parents and the public shaming they both received and richly deserved.
