b'Parenthood, or so we hear, is full of a kind of transcendent joy, the kind you can only experience by watching your offspring learn and grow. That is, when they\\u2019re not making you want to hop in the car and keep driving until you run out of road. There are some ups and downs, for sure. But you\\u2019ll hardly ever find a parent who wouldn\\u2019t do almost anything for their kids. Notice we said \\u201calmost\\u201d anything. Because there have to be limits, right? Well\\u2026for the parents in today\\u2019s story, not so much. First we have Texas mom Wanda Holloway, who in 1990 tried to hire a hit man to take out her daughter\'s cheerleading rivals. Then we have French dad Christophe Fauviau, who dosed his kids\' tennis opponents to make sure his little angels won every match.
