Dastardly Dads: Dad convicted in son's killing waives bond hearing on DUI (Marlboro County, South Carolina)

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.

Tuesday afternoon, a Marlboro County man who recently got arrested while on probation for the murder of his own son waived his bond hearing.

Because Richard McDowell had already served half of his 18 month sentence for killing his son, he was placed on probation.

A week ago, police say he violated his probation when he was arrested for DUI and driving under suspension in Darlington County.

Officials say he could be back in court Thursday for a hearing to determine if he should be sent to prison to serve the rest of his time for violating his probation.
