Top 10 Worst Mothers in History // Subscribe: // TIMESTAMPS BELOW
CELEBRATE 10 YEARS OF WATCHMOJO WITH OUR SPECIAL EDITION MAGAZINE, LINKS BELOW! Unfortunately, there are many bad moms in history – but some can be categorized as the worst mothers on the planet. Between Casey Marie Anthony, who waited a month to report her daughter’s death to authorities, Mary Ann Cotton, who likely killed three husbands and 11 of her children, and Susan Smith, who drowned her two young kids by driving her car into a lake, there are more than enough notoriously terrible mothers out there. In honor of Mother’s Day, WatchMojo introduces you to ten famous bad mothers.

Jail time for the horrible things these horrible people have done is nothing for them. I don't see why they shouldn't be subjected to torture, nothing life threatening but enough so that it breaks them mentally for the horrible things they've done to people.
(not)FIRST hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
WHAT A TWISTED AND DEMENTED MOTHER'S DAY TRIBUTE
I could throw my mom in honorable mentions
I don't know about moms but the worst dad in history would probably be Josef Barsi
Damn,mothers day is a real downer at MoJo .
How about Michael Scofield's Mother?
what a GREAT way to start off mothers day
I was quite surprised number 1 wasn't 'YOUR MUM'
When i saw the number 10 i tought i'm at the end of the list…
Happy Mother's Day…..
these women are some of the biggest piece of shit i ever heard of most of them got off too easy. some didn't even get life in jail. every last one of them should have been killed in the most cruel way possible. there is not much you can do in this world then hurt your own child fuck all those bitch
I'm a big advocate of the abolition of execution in prisons. Having said that, some of these people make me wish I could hear their necks snap as they fell from the gallows.
Honourable mentions. My ex wife
i dont think andrea yates deservers to be on this list. she suffered from post pregnacy depression(forgot the offical name).by no means does she deserve forgiveness. she just doesnbt deserve to be on this list.(if you want more information on her watch the Buzzfeed video about her.)
I don't think number one should be the top of the list.
What about Dee Dee Blanchard? A new documentary is coming out about this tomorrow on HBO called Mommy Dead and Dearest, but this took place in my town of Springfield, Missouri. Dee Dee essentially locked her daughter Gypsy away from the world, convincing everyone, even Gypsy, that she was sick and she even had her get phony treatments. In the end, Gypsy ended up killing Dee Dee.
Please pin me.
You forgot about my mom, she should be number one on this list.
omg thats…horible DAMN BITCHES
Why you not just can made top ten cyanide and happiness or relative?
What about the Tinning murders? 9 kids died
it is me corry
What about John Bennett Ramsey's mother??
