Reuters reports that an Austrian woman was fined by a court for stalking her son just because she called him – a lot.  Was she cruel (a rabenmutter), or just neglected? Hard to tell from the story…

The story notes:

The 73-year-old woman, who phoned her son up to 49 times a day was fined 360 euros ($478) by the court in the southern city of Klagenfurt.

“I just wanted to talk to him,” the woman told the court, according to Austrian newspaper Kleine Zeitung. “I can’t talk to my son, nor my daughter. I’ve never seen my grandchild — who is already 15-years-old,” she said.

It’s always uplifting to read about families that make yours seem normal.
