My own parents were worse most likely. And I read too many stories of children dying of negligence i.e. shot themselves or a sibling with a parent's gun. Or they were prayed over instead of taken to a doctor. And much much worse...

That being said it appears she taught her children nothing about being responsible and to blame everyone else when they are violent. They will probably hurt other people worse than they are hurting themselves. So, in that sense that she has created children who will victimize other people yeah she is really bad as far as that goes.

Robert Richards who sexually abused his two children and never spent a day in prison.

Obviously anyone who murders their children should be a candidate as well, but I went for someone with great wealth who did not pay for his crimes.

My vote goes to the vermin who, some decades ago, doused his young son (around 9-10?) and bed in gasoline and set him on fire.

And had the fucking gall to sue from prison for "parental visiting rights." Mercifully, the judge denied him the "right" to force his son to visit him.

She doesn't seem to be a particularly good parent, and I seem to recall a lot of reporting when she was running along with McCain as to her almost total lack of involvement with her children. She seemed more or less content to let them raise themselves.
