We’re only in May, but the winner for this year’s most messed-up piece of parenting has already been decided thanks to the spectacular nut-job actions of a father in Cleveland, America.
The dad, whose name has wisely not been made public, was determined to teach his teenage sons the dangers of letting a stranger into the home, so got a friend to pose as an ex-convict and knock on the door while dad was out.
On the “f**ked-up-ometer”, this is already reaching “seriously weird” levels, but the real drama started when the youngest of the teens let the man in because he said he knew his dad. Once inside, the man told the boys that their father owed him money, and threatened them.
After sh*tting themselves, the two lads managed to barricade themselves in a bedroom, jump out a second-floor window onto a garage roof and then run to a neighbour’s home to call for help.
“This guy was crazy. This guy wanted to kill us,” the elder son told a dispatcher during the resulting 911 call.” He said, ‘If I start chopping up bodies in here, then I’m going to be the bad guy. I just got out of jail two weeks ago.’”
And if you’re thinking “Ok, it’s wrong, but the dad probably didn’t want it to go that far”, you’d be dead wrong – because the fake ex-con was in contact with the father the whole time, and after trying to call it off when the teens started freaking out, was told to ramp it up a notch by the psycho parent. Not only that, but the dad claims his sons are the ones in the wrong and described their actions as an “epic fail” despite being commended by the police. Westlake police said the father “refused to acknowledge the emotional upset he had caused” and a prosecutor will consider potential child-endangering charges.
