Step aside Scarsdale Mad Mom—a new case study in dysfunctional parenting has surfaced on Long Island, where Suffolk police have arrested a Hauppauge woman who they say used a fake "Casual Encounters" ad on Craigslist to direct nearly two dozen calls from horny men to her neighbor's home phone number. Why would she do this? Because she was allegedly trying to get revenge on the neighbor's 9-year-old daughter, who'd been fighting with her own child. 40-year-old Margery Tannenbaum was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated harassment for giving out the phone number in February to desperate Craigslist Casanovas looking for an NSA good time. Her lawyer tells Newsday, "My view on this is it's gone way too far. She's a good woman. She's a good wife. She's really a good person. I just can't see why anyone would want to put this in the news media... if the interest is about the children, which it should be. We're looking forward to our day in court." Oh, so are we!
