Dastardly Dads: Dad kills son over TV remote (Beijing, China)

Contrary to fathers' rights propaganda, father perpetrators (along with stepdads and caretaker boyfrends) dominate the most vicious crimes against children: sexual assault, abusive head trauma, murder-suicides, crimes involving gun violence, and other similar forms of physically violent/fatal child abuse. And as more dads are providing child care (either because mom is working and can't find other care, or because dads are increasingly getting unsupervised visitation/custody through the family courts), more dads are are being found guilty of basic child abuse and neglect as well.

10/25/15 -Because of severe time constraints, we are no longer able to do regular updates at Dastardly Dads. We will occasionally post articles on general studies on child abuse/domestic violence, news pieces involving abusive fathers in custody/visitation situations. We wil also be updating the Killer Dads and Custody lists, while looking for a better, more accessible platform for the data.

7/11/16 - We started this blog on June 24, 2009--just over seven years. And like all good things, it's time to bring this project to a close. It has served its purpose. We have close to 10,500 postings regarding fathers and child abuse, with hundred of those cases being enabled by the family courts, social services, and others in authority. The documentation is clear. It is now time to stop documenting and put that energy into changing the situation that puts thousands of mothers and children at risk every day.

Father kills son to stop fight over remote control
(China Daily)Updated: 2009-06-23 08:43

A father who tried to stop his two sons from fighting over the TV remote accidentally killed one of them with a broomstick.

He was sentenced to four years in prison for killing his 12-year-old son.

One of his sons was given permission to watch his favorite TV program at home since he got good grades at school. His younger brother didn't agree and wanted to watch a cartoon, so they fought with towels.

Their father, Gu Xunhai, became angry and hit the eldest son on the head with the broomstick and injured him. Later that night, the boy died on his way to a hospital in Daxing, Beijing.
