World's Worst Dad Candidate Thought It Was A Good Idea To Leave Son Behind In Foreclosed House - The Consumerist

World's Worst Dad Candidate Thought It Was A Good Idea To Leave Son Behind In Foreclosed House - The Consumerist

Parenting doesn't get any worse than this. Leave the 11 year old son a Playstation and a note that says "You know your dad loves you more than anything." Right. And then the cops spend five weeks looking for him. Thanks to Mystery Reader for this depressing saga.

This is absolutely, absolutely a horrible, sad act against a child. The only thing that would make this situation more understandable, is if the "father," was an abusive, HOA/COA/CID board member, attorney, and/or property manager, who, in his self-proclaimed, power monger mentality; entitled, narcissistic and sociopathic, stole millions, made some homeless (fraudulent, selective, discriminating, malicious fraud-closures), cause he could. I wonder too about this child's mother. Sometimes, family's really struggle with great tragedy, loss, medical, psychological, financial hardships and neither parent has good coping skills. This is an extreme case, though, I hope.
I am happy to see that a relative is able to care and provide for this child.
