Lousy parents

Some kids are just not lucky when it comes to the parents they get. This "father" would lock his 10 year old in a 2 x 2 cage when he did drugs or to punish him, and I can't even imagine how he could fit in there:

A boy was locked up in a small dog cage when he was being punished and while his father used drugs, and he sometimes had to wear a shock collar, authorities said.

His parents appeared briefly in court Thursday on charges of child endangerment and making or selling drugs in front of the boy, 10, and his 5-year-old brother.
[...]
The older boy told officers that he left because he was tired of being locked up, Carroll said.

The cage was less than 2 feet high and 2 feet wide, and had a chain across the top with two locks on each end, he said.
[...]
Court documents say the 10-year-old boy was repeatedly shocked at the family's home through a remote-controlled collar meant as a training device for animals.

Incredible. I'd subject the parents to the same treatment as punishment. I'd make them wear one of those collars and give the remote to the other inmates, on rotation. Just for fun.
