Who do you think is a worst parent? Jacques Schnee or Raven Branwen?

I personally think that Jacques takes this position because we have proof that he was at the very least, abusive emotionally, if not physically, to Weiss and probably Winter as well. It's also implied that he may have been the cause of Weiss' mother becoming an alcoholic.

The only one of his family that he seems to have any real positive relationship with is Whitley, and even that could be considered a form of abuse if he's trying to mold him into a younger version of himself. That could be damaging to a child mentally because it's not giving them a chance to develop a personality of their own.

Raven on the other abandoned Yang and Tai not long after Yang was born, the reasons for which we still don't know yet. Maybe she didn't think she'd have what it takes to be a good mother. Maybe she was concerned about what her enemies (because she was bound to have a few from her time in the tribe) would do to Yang if they found out about her.

It should be noted that Raven could've easily taken Yang with her when she left but she didn't. Maybe a subtle sign that she wanted Yang to be better then her and she didn't want her to grow up and become a murdering thief.

She was also implied to continue to watch over Yang from a distance several times in the show, the most obvious of which was when she saved her from Neo on the train. She may've also saved Yang and Ruby when they were going to be killed by Grimm when they were little. What were the odds that Qrow with his infamous bad luck just happened to show up and rescue them out of nowhere? Raven probably used her portals to send Qrow there.
