Weeds - Nancy Botwin It really does take a special kind of bad parent to bring both of your kids (and basically everyone else you know) into the illegal drug business and then have another baby with a drug lord.

Dan ScottHe abandoned his pregnant girlfriend, then a couple of monthslater knocked up his new girlfriend and decided to marry her.Pitted both of his sons against each other.AND FINALLY:Killed his brother in a fit of jealous rage.

One Tree Hill - Dan Scott

Arthur and Angela Petrelli (Heroes) I was gonna say George Sr and Lucille Bluth, but, although they are sucky parents, they haven't done anything particularily horrible to their children....

arrested development.

Dan Scott

As much as I believe Pettrelly's are crappy parents, they still aren't as bad as Dan Scott.

the bluths

Nancy Botwin

come on how anoying would it be to be sat down and have to listen to ur dad recount all his old relationships, u gotta feel bad for those kids... therfore ted mosby but just for some variety christoper was a pritty bad dad to rory on gilmore girls and richard and emily is pritty bad too,and on skins if youve seen it chris's parents suck... actually most of the parents suck on skins....

Lost - Anthony Cooper (Locke's dad)

Lost - Anthony Cooper (Locke's dad) I think christina scofield from prison break is worse but for some reason shes not on the list

bart bass...he was asshole

Ted Moseby shouldn't be in there! He just tells amusing stories to his kids. Dan Scott clear winner for worst parent!

Dan Scott - One Tree Hill

lost-anthony cooper he tried to kill his own kid!

Weeds - Nancy Botwin (and I agree with Suze2009, Ted should be disqualified for loving his kids enough to want to tell them all about who he was and who he had to become before he was worthy enough for their mom! Ted is a great dad!)

dan scott

bart bass

Lost - Anthony Cooper (Locke's dad). Seriously, he conned his son into giving him his liver, and then later pushes him out a window attempting to kill him but instead paralyzes him. Plus, he destroyed Sawyer's family too so bonus points.

The Bluths from Arrested Development

Heroes - Arthur & Angela Petrelli I'm sorry but the Petrelli's take the cake here. Not only have they attempted to kill their children they had them experimented on. Hid Nathan's child and just interfered in their lives time and time again. And still Angela warped logic makes no sense. Art and Ang and their fellow Company founders created a lot of the mess the descendants have to clean up. So in my book they take it.

Dan Scott

the bluths!

Anthony Cooper for sure - It takes a real jerk to become friends with your son just to take his kidney. if that isn't bad enough, he then pushed him out of a window of a high building and killed him. good thing Jacob was there to revive him, but still.... P.S. why is ted mosby there? what did he do, except drag out the story of how he met his kids' mother? ;)

Dan Scott - One Tree Hill

Anthony Cooper for sure. He's the worse

anthony cooper. come on, he convinced locke to give him his liver, and then pushed him out a window.

err kidney

Weeds - Nancy Botwin

Anthony Cooper

Anthony Cooper from Losthe stole his son's kidney and pushed him off a building

Ted Mosbey Not only does he drag out the story about how he met the mother.. but he also tells his kids all about his various sexual conquests.. and about the sexual conquests of all the people they call "Aunt" and "Uncle".. I mean, would you really like to know that your "Aunt Robin" had been having wild crazy monkey sex with your dad.. or that your "Aunt Lily" and "Uncle Marshall" are not the responsible adults you grew up thinking they were, but are in fact crazy sex-addicts. ... well.. at least your "Aunt Lily" is. And how about your "Uncle Barney" who is just so cool in every way ... next time you see him at Thanksgiving, you're going to want a haz-mat suit before you give him a hug.Ted Mosbey is telling his kids about terrible terrible things. and that's part of what makes it all so funny.

Nancy Botwin, because nothing beats I'm going to sell drugs, then open a grow-op, then have to serve various gangs, then move cities and start the drug dealing again, then almost get killed by and have a baby with a mexican drug lord, then of course the fact that both her children started dealing as well, not to mention other horrible things that have happened to them.

Nancy Botwin, hands down. See @FireFly_2 for reasons why.

@ FireFly_2 I don't know.. if you're going to play that card.. I'm pretty sure that Jack Bauer's dad has that beat.. he didn't make it into the vote.. but... he could have been convicted of murder, treason, terrorism ... and other crazy crimes.

Lost - Anthony Cooper (Locke's dad) spoiler: stole a kidney, used him, and pushed him out building window trying to kill him...

Anthony Cooper from Lost and well, Ellis Grey from Grey's Anatomy. If I had a mother like her, I'd kill her myself...

Arthur & Angela Petrelli

totally irrelevant now, but by liver I mean kidney...why did I say liver...

No-one has chosen Peter or Homer yet it seems..o.O guess they aren't that very bad after all! I vote Nancy Botwin..a very irresponsible mother!

dan scott- one tree hill

Peter Griffin, he has let Meg drown when making him a sandwich xD
