Jackson topped the poll conducted by Maxim.com. He beat murderer Scott Peterson who killed his wife and unborn baby, contactmusic.com reports.

Commenting on naming Jackson the worst dad, the Maxim writers said, "Dangling a baby out of a Berlin hotel window! We're not sure what's crazier: Michael's unique approach to parenting, or the fact that a woman was willing to carry the children of a twice-alleged child molester."

The top five on the list are:
1. Michael Jackson
2. Scott Peterson
3. Marvin Gaye Sr
4. Joe Simpson (Ashlee and Jessica's father)
5. Kurt Cobain
