Worst Mom Ever? U.K. Foster Mom Sick, Sick, Sick

Every once in a while a story comes along about a horrible, abusive parent doing horrible, abusive crap. Kids locked in cages. Kids forced to poop themselves. Kids forced to watch "Dancing with the Stars" over and over and over again.

This story takes the prize as the most horrible, the most abusive ever. Eunice Spry, 62, was convicted on a series of craziness that involved forcing her three foster kids to eat their own vomit, drink bleach and rat poop. That's only the beginning.

The old bag rubbed sand paper on hands and faces and forced one kid's hand onto a hot stove until it was a "gooey mess." One kid was confined to a wheelchair following an accident, and instead of helping the poor child learn to walk again, the old bag kept the kid in the chair to increase her own care payments.

This is one of those cases that highlights the inequity in punishment. Spry doles out this treatment for years and gets what? Jail? I'm all for the kids having a little revenge, starting with a bleach and rat poop cocktail.

We need to make sure she's in the general population.  And somehow her fellow prisoners need to know what she's done.

That'll fix her.  

Please tell me she didn't just get a few years.  The bitch deserves to die there.

And the foster organization never performed routine house-checks or update the childrens well-being?  Who ever let this woman into foster care in the first place?

I second the bleach and rat poo cocktail!
