Meanest Mom on the Planet.. sells her 19 yr old sons car she just bought.. ha!
 

I thought this was funny...

but I do commend her actions... too many drunk drivers are out there...

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet."

After finding alcohol in her son's car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old's misdeed with everyone -- by placing an ad in the local newspaper.

The ad reads: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet."

Hambleton has heard from people besides interested buyers since recently placing the ad in The Des Moines Register.

The 48-year-old from Fort Dodge says she has fielded more than 70 telephone calls from emergency room technicians, nurses, school counselors and even a Georgia man who wanted to congratulate her.

"The ad cost a fortune, but you know what? I'm telling people what happened here," Hambleton says. "I'm not just gonna put the car for resale when there's nothing wrong with it, except the driver made a dumb decision.

"It's overwhelming the number of calls I've gotten from people saying 'Thank you, it's nice to see a responsible parent.' So far there are no calls from anyone saying, 'You're really strict. You're real overboard, lady."'

The only critic is her son, who Hambleton says is "very, very unhappy" with the ad and claims the alcohol was left by a passenger.

Hambleton believes her son but has decided mercy isn't the best policy in this case. She says she set two rules when she bought the car at Thanksgiving: No booze, and always keep it locked.

The car has been sold, but Hambleton says she will continue the ad for another week -- just for the feedback

damn...she is mean..lol

good for her, she is protecting her son as well as everyone else on the road with him.

I would have done the same thing, good for her.

im sure that kid is gonna get so much ASS now thanks to his mom...he owes her for getting him his 15 mins hahahahahah

As long as the chick's come and pick him up. :1orglaugh

lol ya

post another ad

kid whos mom sold car, needs ride

ladies only

haha

Thats great LOL

Very nice move...

I support her decision...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

thats great!

just like the Guitar hero 3 story on Ebay that sold for $9,800 just cause the kid got in trouble.

Very Nice.

I'd hope I'd have the sense to do the same.

You'll know in a short while...you stud ;)

good for her

haha thats funny. I bet her son is pissed off.

good for the mom.. sad for the son hehehe:1orglaugh

lol, tht was lots to read, but damm ya she is mean

Hopefully not too soon. :winkwink:

mammas a bitch

she told him no booze...he is lucky she bought him a car in the first place

AMEN! I wish I had parents like that... I had no rules growing up.

He is lucky. When I was 19 my mom knew I would sometimes go to parties and drink but I always stayed there. If she found booze in my car and found I had drove while drinking (even if I wasn't drunk) the only picture in the newspaper would have been one of a bunch of cops standing around the crime scene where my dead body was found.

I think the kid deserved what his mom did..damn punks

Last time I heard something like this happening that was similer is the kid went and shot his father then set the house ablaze. Same story very different ending.

yeah, that's mean

good for her.

Huh that is very unusual i mean selling a fresh car beacuse of one booze

I'm sure there's much more to the story than we can read. Good move mom!

More parents should do this.

I guess I'm the only one that thinks she's a stupid bitch. Sure sell the car, that's fine and makes sense.

But what does publicly (and now globally) humiliating the son accomplish? Especially since she acknowledges he wasn't even drinking and driving?

Sounds like she just wanted some attention for herself. Most likely the type of person that writes letters to the editor constantly.

What a dumb bitch. Chances are someone was in the back seat with a bottle of vodka and it rolled under the one of the front seats. I probably have at least 2 bottles in my car in that very spot, and I even carry a bottle of emergency vodka in my drunk.

thats one mean mother

Mean Mom for president!!

say what you mean and mean what you say, that way there is no confusion.

what a bitch i'll flatten her tire's every chance i got...:321GFY

Jesus, I hope I never encounter you on the road:Oh crap

Ouchies!

good move on her side.

LOL thats awesome.....she did do the right thing I think

Bravo to her. Nice to hear about parents who know how to administer tough love, there's definitely not enough of it these days.


As for the kid, if he had of gotten off his ass and worked and EARNED enough to buy his own car he probably wouldn't have this problem. Then again, if he earned his own wheels there may not have been any booze in the car to begin with. I find that kids who buy their own cars with money they worked and sweated for tend to cherish them more and treat the vehicle better than those storebought little prince and princesses do who get new cars handed to them on their 16th birthday by mommy and daddy.

That's so weird. You mean to tell me this Mom held her son accountable for dumb shit he did instead of blame tv or video games? I thought they were to blame for all the dumb shit kids did these days.

Ha thats great!

mean indeed
