Dad jailed after after assaulting mom, grandma in front of son (Tonypandy, Wales, United Kingdom)

Dad ADAM DAVID SUTTON, who has a previous conviction for battery, has been jailed after admitting that he beat his girlfriend, fracturing her nose, and assaulted the girlfriend's mother. All of this was in front of the couple's 6-year-old son, who was pleading with Dad to "stop hitting Mammy." Of course, fathers rights people would say that this was "alienation" on Mammy's part, that a little boy spoke out against his father this way. But then they are some pretty sick people as a group. In their sick little group-think, criminals are never responsible for their actions, and no one has the right to get angry over violence.

A FATHER who assaulted his partner and her mother in front of his son has been jailed.

Adam David Sutton, 25, of Heol Dinas Isaf, Williamstown, Tonypandy, admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm upon Bethan Louise Stanton, fracturing her nose, and assaulting Carole Stanton causing her actual bodily harm, and criminal damage.

Prosecuting at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court, Jane Rowley said Sutton and Bethan Stanton had been in a six-year relationship and had a son, Harley. During the attack Harley had pleaded with his dad “stop hitting Mammy”.

On May 5, Sutton, who had been home looking after Harley, attacked Ms Stanton when she arrived home from work. Sutton, described by his partner as possessive, argued with her and she telephoned her mother.

The couple were outside as he physically attacked Ms Stanton, punching her and grabbing her around the throat pushing her backwards against the car, telling her: “You’ve done it now.”

He had her in a headlock before punching her three times.

Sutton continued hitting the back of her head as their son watched, pleading. When Carole Stanton arrived, she screamed at Sutton who then assaulted her, and she fell. He drove off.

Both victims were treated at Royal Glamorgan Hospital – Ms Stanton for a broken nose and her mother for grazing.

Jeremy Jenkins, defending Sutton, who has a previous conviction for battery, said it was a “bad example” of domestic violence.

Jailing Sutton for 12 months, Judge John Curran called the offence a “disgraceful and terrifying” episode.
