(#1) Peter And Kate McCallister From Home Alone
The McCallisters were very upset about accidentally leaving their eight-year-old son home alone when they went to Paris, but that doesn't change the fact they LEFT THEIR EIGHT-YEAR-OLD SON HOME ALONE AND WENT TO PARIS! How can two people get on an airplane without realizing their youngest child is not with them?
It'd be one thing if they accidentally left Buzz; he was a high schooler, so they didn't really need to keep tabs on him – but their eight-year-old? That's preposterous! And the dad's even worse because, while Kate realizes it mid-flight, he's so negligent that he actually needed to be told that his kid was missing. Sure enough, two years later, they did it again! Kevin really needed to be taken into protective custody.

(#2) Nick Parker And Elizabeth James From The Parent Trap
This one's pretty straightforward: you don't split up your twins just because you each want one. Kids aren't Kit Kats! It's pretty insane that two adults thought this was a reasonable idea, and they're both super successful people who could have afforded some kind of lifestyle that allowed the kids to grow up near each other.
Nick could have had a winery in Europe, or Elizabeth could have been a fashion designer in America. On top of that, how does one just decide that they're going to love and care for only one of their two children? Did they play Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide which horrible person got which kid? These people are monsters.

(#3) The King And Queen In Frozen
When does royalty ever foster good parenting? Almost never. The king and queen of Arendelle are no exception as they make one of their daughters suppress her magical gifts and they also keep their daughters separated because one accidentally hurt the other once.
First of all, when you have two kids, they're going to hur each other a lot. Apparently, there are two options at this point: 1. Actually keep tabs on your children and foster a loving relationship between them; or 2. Separate them with no intention of reconciliation, drastically changing their lives forever and causing extreme trauma. Even if you're busy doing king and queen stuff, you can afford a nanny to watch the two kids as they play, ensuring they don't cause each other harm.

(#4) Stu And Didi Pickles From The Rugrats Movie
The whole schtick of The Rugrats is that the babies go on wild adventures all the time, but this cannot happen without utterly terrible parenting. In the movie, the babies actually decide they don't like Tommy's new brother Dil, so they load him up in the Reptar wagon and head out into the town with the intention of returning the infant to the hospital.
If your toddler and his toddler friends are capable of kidnapping your infant, it's a pretty safe bet that you're a historically bad parent. What's more, they named their kid Dil Pickles. That alone should be enough reason for child services to step in.

(#5) Franklin Storm From Fantastic Four
Franklin Storm, a man who gravely endangers his children. Johnny Storm is a troubled young man who gets into legal trouble because his father clearly favors his sister over him. When the researchers working under Franklin Storm do find the key to inter-dimensional travel, he allows his children to travel to an alternate dimension despite zero qualifications, and as a result, they all become monsters.
When they come back, he allows the government to experiment on them. He's painted as a good dad, but damn – those kids never had a chance.

(#6) Wayne Szalinsk From Honey, I Shrunk The Kids
The title is a pretty clear indication that at least one of the parents is dangerously negligent. There really is no excuse for having such advanced technology just sitting in your office for anyone to walk in and become victim to. To make matters worse, he just left his shrink ray at home and went to a conference, during which time his kids indeed got shrunk by the machine. Maybe unplug the thing before leaving, Wayne!
-
(#7) Sam And Jessica Douglas From 3 Ninjas
Sam and Jessica Douglas send their three sons off to stay with their ninja grandfather for the summer (with no explanation at any point how the white guy's dad is Japanese), where the boys learn Ninjutsu. It turns out that grandpa has some sort of relationship with a crime lord that Sam Douglas is pursuing in his role as an FBI agent.
Said crime lord comes calling on grandpa, forcing him and his grandsons to fight off the henchmen. Afterward, Sam is super angry that his father taught the boys Ninjutsu. It seems, however, that he may want to be more concerned by the fact that the crime lord he's personally investigating has some sort of background with his father, and he still sent his kids to stay with their grandfather, putting them directly in danger. For that matter, he should be grateful that his dad taught them Ninjutsu as it's clearly prudent for them to be able to defend themselves.

(#8) Steve And Josie Stronghold From Sky High
Steve and Josie Stronghold, AKA The Commander and Jetstream, are superheroes with a 14-year-old son they send off to a high school for superpowered kids in the sky. The problem is their kid doesn't have superpowers. So, just to be clear, they've sent their child to an isolated place at a dangerous altitude brimming with hormonal super monsters and he has no means to defend himself.
The Strongholds are unaware of their son's lack of powers, apparently because their too self-centered to ask what's going on in his life. He, of course, doesn't tell them when he gets relegated to the sidekicks class, and after that, his douche of a dad shows him all of his superhero trophies and awards, unwittingly rubbing his face in it. Way to make sure your kid suffers from crippling insecurity for the rest of his life.

(#9) Ingrid And Gregorio Cortez From Spy Kids 2
It's bad enough that Ingrid and Gregorio Cortez allowed their children to participate in espionage in the first movie, putting them in extreme peril (not to mention subjecting them to the nightmarish trauma of fighting anthropomorphic thumb monsters), but on the second outing, they actually allow their children to join the spy agency.
Their kids are 13 and 10 and they allowed them to become spies. Allowing your kids to circumvent child labor laws and work at McDonald's under the age of 15 would be negligent; letting them become international spies is straight-up abuse.
-
(#10) Miranda And Daniel Hillard From Mrs. Doubtfire
When you stop to consider the plot of Mrs. Doubtfire, the only reasonable conclusion is that Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is insane. Divorces are very difficult for all parties, but to dress in disguise and infiltrate the home of your ex to be near your children is not good parenting – it's lunacy.
What's more, to discover your ex-husband has, indeed, pulled off this charade, and then decide that he should be allowed to spend more time with the children is equally bonkers. The man is clearly unstable.

(#11) Aunt May In Spider-Man: Homecoming
Aunt May has had a tough go of things – what with losing her husband and all – but still, she could stand to be a bit more responsible. She is aware that her kid is sneaking out of the house regularly. She obviously suspects something's up with him but doesn't pursue it. That's kind of the whole job, right? She gets a pass though because she's sad and she's Marisa Tomei.
-
(#12) George And Lorraine McFly From Back To The Future
Why does Mr. and Mrs. McFly allow their child to spend time with a deranged old man? Their teenage son is best friends with a mad scientist and that's something they're totally cool with? Sure, they couldn't reasonably foresee their son getting involved in time-traveling shenanigans, but there's still no excuse for the fact that the McFlys allowed him to spend an inordinate amount of time with the neighborhood wack job.
