Summary
A Kentucky mom, 27-year-old Brook McDaniel, got arrested after allegedly giving her 22-month-old son a tattoo... because apparently “terrible parenting decisions” wasn’t enough of a hobby. Police say they found the toddler with a black dot tattoo on his forearm and redness around it after responding to a child abuse complaint. Her explanation? She claimed she was tattooing her own leg when the toddler “stuck his arm in the way” of the tattoo gun. Which is a bold defense considering tattoo guns are not exactly rogue garden sprinklers. Police also described the home conditions as “deplorable,” which really completes the “county fair parking lot at 2 a.m.” aesthetic this story has going on. Authorities contacted Kentucky child services, and McDaniel was charged with fourth-degree assault. Bond was set at $5,000. So for being a pretty really super bad mom, Brook should feel shame, shame, shame.
