Dad kicks 3-year-old over potty training; she's in critical condition (Midlands, South Carolina)

KEION DIXON, caretaking dad, was frustrated over his 3-year-old daughter's "potty training issues." So he did what any responsible parent would have done: he kicked her in the head and stomach to the point where the child in now hospitalized in critical condition. He has been arrested on charges of unlawful conduct toward a child and inflicting great bodily injury on a child. Article mentions that 3 other children were removed from the home. NO MENTION of a mother, girlfriend or other adult. Custodial dad?

It seems a lot of dads and male caretakers can't deal with toddler potty training issues. Compare to this case from Sacramento, California, where the child died:
