(#19) Delia Ketchum From 'Pokémon'
Delia can't exactly be blamed for sending off her 10-year-old on a Pokémon journey. While this is an incredibly bad idea with potentially disastrous consequences, it is relatively normal in her fictive universe. That said, she has almost no input into what Ash is doing during said journey.
Other than occasional phone calls where she reminds him to change his underwear (important, sure, but kind of a low priority compared to finding out if he's okay after being set on fire by a giant dragon), she's content to stay at home doing... whatever it is she's doing during her private time with Professor Oak.
Speaking of which, Professor Oak is pretty awful too. We don't know how he treats his own children, which means he doesn't qualify as a horrible parent, per se, but he's pretty awful at the whole grandparenting thing. He isn't senile, so he ought to be able to remember his own grandson's name. The version of him in Pokémon: The Origin is the worst. Watch that show if you want to see an old man shout across his critically injured grandson's bedside about all the cool stuff his rival is going to do while he recovers.
(#11) Shouichi Makise From 'Steins;Gate'
Steins;Gate's Shouichi Makise, also known as Dr. Nakabachi, is the father of a scientific genius named Kurisu Makise. Kurisu writes a groundbreaking paper on time travel, but instead of being proud of his daughter's accomplishments, Shouichi tries to murder her so he can steal her paper and pass it off as his own.
It's definitely hard to get worse than that, parenting wise.
(#5) Ragyo Kiryuin From 'Kill La Kill'
Ragyo Kiryuin is the antagonist of Kill la Kill. She's also an objectively terrible mother. Ragyo is a seemingly immortal monster, whose body is a combination of human flesh and Life Fibers, which are basically clothing from space. Her goal is to destroy all of humanity and let Life Fibers take over the earth, a goal her older daughter Satsuki pretends to support until she manages to gather adequate forces to take her down. While she's biding her time, she has to endure her mother violating her.
You would think that supervillainy would be enough for Ragyo, but no, she's also aggressively cavalier about the lives of her children. When she mistakenly believes her second daughter, Ryuko, died as an infant as a result of Life Fiber experimentation, she disposes of the body, feeling no grief for anything other than the failed experiment.
Later, she's perfectly content to try and murder both Satsuki and Ryuko for trying to stop her from destroying humanity. Oh, and she orders her third daughter, Nui, to sacrifice her life. Because, evidently, that's just what you do when you're a parent.
(#17) Akemi Hinazuki From 'Erased'
Akemi Hinazuki is Kayo's abusive mother. She made her own daughter suffer and physically abused her to vent out her own frustrations. Poor Kayo was so neglected that she burst into tears when Satoru's mom cooked her breakfast. Akemi would usually just leave a small amount of money for Kayo to buy her own food. So, Kayo finally felt a real mother's love for the first time. It's a relief that Akemi's parental rights were taken away and Kayo went to live with her grandmother.
(#3) Mayu's Parents From 'Elfen Lied'
Mayu, one of the most innocent characters in Elfen Lied, ran away from home at age 14 to escape her horrible parents. That alone should tip you off that things are pretty bad. Mayu's stepfather is a sick man who takes advantage of his new stepdaughter almost as soon as he meets her. When Mayu appeals to her mother for help, her mother slaps her in the face, calls her a liar, and tells her that she is unloved and unwanted.
This lady cares a lot more about her marriage than she does about her daughter's well-being, and she is more than happy to continue a relationship with a pedophile. When Mayu's stepfather violates her again, she leaves home, unable to take the abuse anymore.
(#2) Hiromi Shiota From 'Assassination Classroom'
In general, it's not a great parenting move to try and force your kid to conform to a gender identity they don't agree with. Hiromi Shiota wanted a daughter so she could vicariously relive her own girlhood (which was admittedly terrible). When she gave birth to a son instead, she decided it didn't matter and raised Nagisa as a girl. Much to Nagisa's chagrin, Hiromi forced him to grow his hair out and wear feminine clothing.
This alone is pretty awful, but it gets worse. Nagisa is in class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Middle School, which is where kids with bad grades end up. Hiromi doesn't want Nagisa in that class, but he's happy doing important work with his classmates, so he's against switching out. To force her son to comply, Hiromi drugs Nagisa, brings him to school, and insists he torch the building. In other words: excellent parenting. She only gives up when he saves her from an assassin, because apparently now that he can kick ass, he's worth consideration as a human being.
