Dastardly Dads: Dad gets life sentence for shaking death of 4-month-old daughter (Nettleton, Mississippi)

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.

Dad gets life sentence for shaking death of 4-month-old daughter (Nettleton, Mississippi)

Judge Thomas Gardner seems to be one of those rare judges who doesn't coddle child killers. Daddy JOSHUA CLARK is getting a life sentence--just as if he had killed an unrelated grown up. How about that for a change....

NETTLETON — Joshua Clark has been sentenced to life for the shaking death of his 4-month-old daughter.

The 26-year-old Nettleton man was found guilty of depraved heart murder and sentenced by Judge Thomas Gardner.

Gardner sentenced him to additional 20 years for child abuse.

Clark was arrested in 2008 following the death of his daughter, Kylie Clark. An autopsy revealed her death to be the result of violent shaking.
