Parenting FAIL: Mom Forces Son to Chug 40 Oz of Malt Liquor & That’s Not All…
4-Year-Old Forced to Drink 40 oz
Yes, it is hot out. And yes, we want to make sure our kids stay hydrated when playing at the playground. Generally the drink of choice would be water or a juice box. Apparently 29-year-old Juliette Dunn of Bridgeport, Connecticut didn’t get the memo and skipped parenting 101, but if graded today this lady would have earned a great big F.
The mom reportedly forced her four-year-old son to chug a 40 oz of the malt liquor Steel Reserve while at the park, then called him an alcoholic. But it turns out that the high octane Steel Reserve isn’t his favorite, he told a social worker that he prefers Natty Ice or Budweiser. The mom admitted that she gives him a beer every day. But that’s not all…her ten-month-old daughter tested positive for cocaine. The mother told the police she had no idea how that could have happened since she doesn’t breastfeed her. Her daughter also tested positive for alcohol, and when the family was spotted, there was a baby bottle near her daughter that appeared to be filled with beer.
Juliette Dunn was arrested and charged with “two counts of risk of injury to a child and two counts of second-degree assault and was being held in lieu of $100,000 bond.”

Jalapeno Dragon commented on Jul 23 11 at 10:08 pmFor real??? What could possibly make that woman think that is even slightly okay???
jackie commented on Jul 25 11 at 5:11 pmsomewhat flippant to describe this as an “epic parenting FAIL”, don’t you think? This is obviously abusive. “skipped parenting 101″ doesn’t begin to cover it – the tone of this article is a bit ridiculous.
Jenna commented on Jul 25 11 at 9:44 pm?!?!?!?! I am speechless… something that rarely happens to me.
Sunny commented on Jul 25 11 at 10:30 pmThis is absolutely horrible! I hope the kids are getting good medical treatment and placed in a healthy environment. This breaks my heart. My daughter is about ten months old. How can someone possibly do this to children?
