Listopia > Bad, bad parents

When parenting goes truly bad in a fictional world. Examples include but are not limited to selling your daughter into a MOC for the family biz, pretending daughter is years younger so you can nab the H, drudge out your DDD like Cinderella, pimp out daughter as collateral in a poker game, lust after the H, abandon son and hubby for another man, shove heir aside for mistress's son, and the dysfunctional list goes on and on...
