Another easily prevented handgun accident. We’re not against private gun ownership, but for godsakes be responsible about it. This gun owner should be charged with reckless manslaughter.

Answer 11

I like the one who put his kids in a cage in his truck because he didn't have a babysitter.

Answer 12

My daughter was at her daycare and her daycare worker was not watching her and she got on top of the table and fell off hit her head knocked her out and stopped breathing had to be airlifted to children's hospital. It was the worst day of my life.  

Answer 13

There was an instance I just read about today in my hometown where a couple had put their 4 girls ages 11-15 in a garage, locked up for days at a time, or in a near by trailor with only, a loaf of bread, 1 bottle of water. Again for days at a time. They did this as punnishment, one of the girls stated that they at one time did that because the dog was not on it's leash.

That is not the worst one I have read, but still, it's aweful.

Answer 14

I think one of the worse would be Genie the modern day feral child. Who was locked up in a room from ages 1 to 13. She didn't know how to speak nor behave civilized. In 2001 they release an independent movie based on the incident called "Mocking Bird Don't Sing".....I think this is one of the worse case of child abuse and neglect seeing as it went on for years.

Answer 15

I've seen and heard too many stories to count through the media.

I did personally experience a child abuse case though.  A co-worker (that I threw a baby shower for) stuck her newborn son under scolding hot water.  His skin was literally peeling off and she never took him to the hospital.  Hours later, she came to work and said that her son had an accident and she needed the day off.  It wasn't until another hour or two later before the husband finally arrived home and discovered the boy.  He was in ICU for weeks.  It was terrible.  Thankfully, she no longer has custody of her children and spent some time in jail.
