Dad pleads guilty to rape, attempted murder of 2-year-old son (Brisbane, Australia)

As soon as you think you've heard every disturbing abusive dad story there was, some sick sh** like this comes up. UNNAMED DAD has pleaded guilty to rape and attempted murder of his 2-year-old son.

The boy survived Dad's attempts to strangle him and bash his head in with a claw hammer, but the full extent of the boy's injuries are still not known. This poor baby spent 9 days in the hospital after being placed in an induced coma.

Not a word here on the mother. Was she working? Was this a single or custodial dad? Was this unsupervised visitation? It would be nice if the media would provided the context for these crimes.

Man jailed for raping his two-years-old son

12 March 2010 @ 07:05 pm AEST

The 36-year-old man, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 12 who is a lineal descendant, and one each of rape and attempted murder. The man who had been sexually abused himself as a child, and was deeply ashamed of his actions. He was weeping as he was sentenced today for the inhumane attack on his young son on April 26, 2009.

Prosecutor Sal Vasta told the Supreme Court in Brisbane that the incident occurred at their family home at Collingwood Park while the man was at home with the boy and his twin brother. He exposed himself to the young boys and forced his penis into his son's mouth. The court was told that the man decided to kill the son in order to keep his abusing from anyone. He strangled the boy until he went limp, and he was apologising to his son at the same time.

The father attempted to strike the boy's head with a claw hammer when he found that the boy was not dead after series of strangling. While his other son watched, the man then tied a shoelace around the boy's neck before he finally terrified and called police. He made full confessions when being arrested.

The boy was rushed to hospital and has since recovered, however full extent of the boy's injuries are still not known, but that he spent nine days in hospital after being placed in an induced coma.
Under Queensland law, he will be required to serve at least 80% of his sentence before being eligible to apply for parole.
