"Bad" stories from the news

BAD PETS
Chimps
Alligators
Boa Constrictors

BAD PARENTS
Nadya Sulema - The lady that collects children like other equally misguided people collect porcelain figurines. In either case, 14 is at least ten too many!

Ronald Cummings - The father of a 5-year-old girl missing in Florida. Now, I'm not saying he's a bad parent because the little girl is lost, and I certainly hope they find her safe and sound. But if you scan the story you'll see that at the time of her disappearance, Ronald's 5-year-old daughter was sleeping in the same room as his 17-year-old girlfriend. Wait. Read that again, and crunch the numbers. Notice anything amiss? Yeah, he's 25. And while an eight year age difference isn't necessarily a big deal, it becomes problematic when the younger participant is under 18. As in, not an adult. The authorities searching for the little girl are reportedly interviewing the registered sex offenders in the area. If he's not on that list, he should be!

My sentiments exactly! There are sooo many things wrong with both of those stories.
