2. June Shannon
June Shannon, known as Mama June, from the hit TLC television show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, didn’t quite start off as “Mother of the Year.” However, she had an endearing quality about her that let fans have a voyeuristic experience of a simpler life. Mama June often spoke about how she was trying to maintain a normalcy in her daughter’s life, which meant only doing interviews when it didn’t conflict with her school schedule and setting aside the money they made from the show rather than frivolously spending it.
However, public perception of her mothering skills came into question when Mama June started dating Mark McDaniel, a convicted child molester. The Spalding County Superior Court released shocking documents of the alleged McDaniel molesting the then-eight-year-old sister, Anna Cardwell during a 2002 incident.
