I Know It’s A Little Early For Father’s Day Stories…

But here’s my vote for scumbag Dad of* the Year:

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (CNN) — A Kentucky prisoner who duped authorities and his family into believing he intended to donate a kidney to his ailing son may have escaped to Mexico with his girlfriend, federal authorities said.
…In January, a judge allowed Perkins to leave jail, where he’d been awaiting sentencing for a gun and drug conviction, for medical tests before his son’s surgery. Perkins’ conviction carries a minimum jail term of 25 years.
Izgarjan, who was in the courtroom when Perkins asked to be released, said he had convinced everyone of his sincerity.
“He was crying. He was just literally begging the judge,” Izgarjan said. “He told the judge, ‘My son is going to die if I don’t give him this kidney. He’s so sick right now.’ “

I hope they catch this guy.

“Hello. “Perkins“, isn’t it? Right. We’ve come for your kidney.”
*Argh.

    If anything happens to his son (God forbid), they should get him for murder/manslaughter.

    If this scumbag made it to Mexico, he’s home free, unfortunately.

    What a jerk. Maybe he’ll become an unwelcome gringo.

    Judge Judy wouldn’t have let this happen.
