If you thought your parents did a terrible job at raising you, you might want to reconsider. Unless, of course, these are pictures of you as a child.

Paul says:
I don’t see how the “I love satan” one counts.
MEE says:
A good number of these look photoshoped, which kind of sucks seeing as us users need to patrol these guys. People make their own news, and as etertaining as these photos are, I don’t trust the source.
Copy/plus/paste = hits.
lather, rinse repeat.
Landino says:
I want my, baby back baby back ribs!

Jess WOods says:
LOL, microwaved babies LOL too funny dude.
Parent says:
Since when is keeping a child upside down wrong? Not having kids is not an excuse for not knowing what is wrong or right when it comes to handling them. Next time ask a pediatrician before accusing some parents.
Claire says:
Funny, but still sad. really sad.
jessamyn says:

JD says:
Stupid azz redneck parents. They should just die.
crawler says:
The cage outside the windows was actually common practice in the 30’s-50’s…that way, the baby could get some air, and there were also curtains so that the baby could take a nap outside in the ‘fresh’ air
bobo the hobo says:
the mermaid one makes my penis hurt!
matt says:
HA! i was at Bonnaroo when that last picture was taken!
Satan's Dad says:
For what it’s worth, the “I love Satan” girl is my daughter, and she really loves the man in the red suit, but not the one with the pitchfork.
shan says:

These poor children’s supposedly responsible adults should be hung and exterminated. fools! They think putting their children in vunerable positions is ok. fools to even own up to their shthead dumb arse ideas.
KRONE says:
GOOGLE: WEDDING DRESS FAIL
newstle says:
@Paul she wanted to write santa
rand says:
the one with “i love satan” is the cheesiest one of all. lame. anyone who would teach their kid that obviously has a smaller brain.
jen says:
I don’t believe all the pictures I see. Where do they come from? Like the one child who is driving between cars????? I don’t believe everything I see because it’s all too easy to computerize them.
jander says:
and where is michael jackson when he dangled the baby out of the window?
lol says:
Any self-righteous idiots here?
Thanks for the article, but it’s always the comments that make me smile.
lol girl says:
this is hilarious
jellyroll says:
to parent,
there is nothing wrong with hanging a baby up side down.
there might be something wrong with holding a baby up side down to feed a wild animal with sharp teeth and claws.
l34rn 2 c0unt says:
As condescending as many of these comments are as to the stupidity of the people in the pictures, no one has noticed that there are ‘more’ pictures than the article title suggests. Learn to count.
elsa747 says:
As a parent I’m not only disgusted but deeply saddened for as many of these look photoshopped so may are also real. And these poor children. I’m disgusted that I clicked the link on my facebook. These are not funny they are sad sick and disturbing
play says:
you don’t need any license, not any brain, to be a parent… do you?
Denver Dan says:
No Michael Jackson dangling baby Blanket? Parenting Fail Listing Fail.
Your Conscience says:
Disturbing. Not funny.
sane says:
wow, whoever wrote that it isnt bad to hold a child upside down is the most retatrted person on this planet and i really hope u dont have kids….this is one of the most disturbing things i have ever seen…this whole album is sad except for the satan one and the baby wit the bling. ever other parent on here should have their kids taken and they should be placed in jail!!!!! even some of u ppl who commented are jus plan dumb and disgusting and i hope u never have kids…u ppl are making this world a shit whole and u should crawl in a hole and die…pathetic assholes…
jerry says:
sane, so.. holding a baby upside down for a photo is horrible and makes you an unfit parent, but child satanism and babies holding drug money is perfectly fine. its just a guess but im assuming that you’re a 300 lb prozac addicted welfare mom and your autistic kids were formula fed as were you, as well as fully vaccinated.
Kees says:
love the pics, most are funny and enscenated, some parents are really stupid though, like most of the comments, it just shows what a dumb ass folk americans really are.
Chris says:
This cracked me up. Poor little duckie…
ashley says:
HAHAHAHAHHA! this is why I love my country!
BubbieFaced says:
Quit your bitchin people, understand that like a scary movie most of the shit you just saw was probably not real… strictly entertainment.. but just for shits & giggles
I bet the negro baby is already in a gang poppin caps at the popos, gettin money from his bitches and selling crack to his parents all with a binky in his mouth… Thats how they roll.
Lets just blame the white man….right?
Oh my my controversy!
VooDew says:
so Jerry, because the kid is black it HAS to be drug money? not planning to raise yet another generation of hate are we?
WhyAmerican says:
“kees,” Why are you assuming that these are all “dumb ass folks americans?” Alot of these don’t look like they were even taken in American You should learn how to type or speak correctly before you throw out insulting remarks about something you obviously know nothing about. Here’s hoping you never have kids, they’ll probably be dumb asses like you have already proven that you are. It’s sad when we don’t need a picture to see that about you. Maybe you should keep your mouth shut.
John says:
Wow, that was amazing!
For those with their knickers in a twist about “I love satan” Really? S-A-N-T-A misspelled. Try not to drive while you’re hyperventilating.
For me, like for most, I guess most of them are pictures of unfortunately moments all too familiar to anyone with kids (I have five). Some are more horrifying as they seem to indicate a persistent bad situation.
What’s interesting is seeing WHICH pictures trip various folks’ triggers. :)
Jen says:
I can’t get over the fact that out of all the pix that everyone got upset about not one of you thought that the kids with the cigarettes in their mouths was disturbing enough to comment on specifically. Honestly people. Children. With cigarettes. In their MOUTHS. I don’t care that they’re not lit. It’s bad enough that parents smoke around their kids, but now they think it’s funny to put these diseased objects in the kids mouths. Like it’s bad enough that they’re going to learn by example, they now feel compelled to give the kids lessons.
afafa says:
this is the best shit ive seen all day
Funnyashell says:
Wait for it….. wait for it…. ok overreact right NOW!!!!
Some Dude says:
sane: Usually when people call other people retarded, they make sure that they know how to spell.
Kaley says:
@Jen: Agreed, Those were the worst ones for me, as were the various photos of obvious adult situations where children were present…ie. pole dancing class (or practise?), pen15 cake, etc.
Most of the other photos are not that bad – all the people who are flipping out about holding kids upside down, etc. should ask your own parents about a funny story from when you were little – I bet you’ll hear something that in this context would seem equally as appauling!
sarah says:
John, if you have five kids, you are part of the problem.
derp says:
All the mishandled baby pictures made me lol, but the last pic of the ducks made me :(
tanya says:
The one that bothers me the most is the GUN in the mouth.
Yeah I know,I know it wasn’t loaded.
Take the rest with a grain of salt….
Matt says:
Of course it’s drug money Voodew. Couldn’t have cashed a welfare check for that much.
nick says:
omg i laughed my ass off at half these pics and the other half where a bit far but the best bit is def reading these comments to see how self righteous some people get over a phot shop pic,which most prob are.take a deep breath and look for the funny ones and ignore the poop.you will live longer if you stop freakin out everytime someone puts something risque on the net ;p
Douche says:
38! so f**ked up! not funny!
dat dude says:
I don’t agree with the Pot one!
J.L. says:
These stupid ass people shouldn’t breed. Seriously.
Anya Coleman says:
Omg! That is ridiculous!!! :)
stupid people says:
The only real problem I have with these pictures are the comments, I mean seriously? Some of you idiots need to learn how to spell. We learn this shit in elementary school, lets just say that everyone has there own opinion whether they were photo shopped or not these photos are still really disturbing and no most people shouldn’t have kids but what are you going to do about it? honestly there is nothing you can do so just stop! ugghh…. most of these comments just really piss me off.
Brie says:
The 13th one down, the one with the girl on the dad’s shoulders wearing the Tool shirt was taken at the Gateway Plaza in Utah. LOL
Rockospappy says:
Parents should always survive their misstakes in parenting and if the kids do as well from bad parenting,The child has the right to kick the living crap out of them or forgive.As tough as life can be along the way,maybe its educational.Hope they all survived unharmed.
David says:
You “holier than thou” people talking about how horrible these pictures are….ligthen the **ck up….these pictures are for entertaijnment purposes. You don’t like it I’ll teach you a remedy…see the little red x in the corner of your window? click on it then proceed to pull the sticks out of your asses.
JonBoy says:
can a child actually smoke?
Motherof2 says:
As long as we’ve all agreed they’re photoshopped, then I’m comfortable saying that I laughed my a$$ off at every one of them!!!
BLT says:
The third one down, the kid with the plastic bag over her face… that’s my bro and sis in law in the background.
verizon says:
They are, but not necessarily the best future we want.
whenhellfrezzesover says:
Omg some people honestly
Holding a baby upside down, for what ever reason is wrong on so many levels it can cause helm to the baby, but most people like alot of you dumb on here dont relise that hey ??
and as for all these photos being there for pure entianment is the most stupidest thing i have ever heard
Who in the would let a child play with a gun!
Too bad if the accentally clicked the saftey over and shot them selves straight through the head or something
But i guess dumb ass junkies dont think of that right!
And if parents smoke fine, but you shouldn’t be sitting there taking a photo of your child with a ciggie in there mouth … the girl with a ciggie in her mouth and the filthy dress on is rotten, and that junkie shouldnt have a child
and the one that has a 2 year old max up here with a can of grog in his hand a smoke in his mouth and the mother ready to light it is a pure desrace and i would love to see her on the street!
low life junkies scumbags!! (only in america huh)
xrumer services says:
The terrified kid with the lion is my favorite. Those diapers are definitely full.
great says:
these are great. i hope they’re real. but i just wish the cigs were lit.
