Dastardly Dads: Jury out again in trial of dad accused of murdering infant son (Kent, England, United Kingdom)

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.

Jury out again in trial of father accused of murder
Published on Tue Jul 27 15:55:22 BST 2010

A jury has retired for a fourth day to consider its verdicts in the trial of a Kent paramedic accused of murdering his baby son.

Gavin Gibbs, 41, of Brook Vale, Erith, was heard to whisper "Please forgive me" as three-month-old Charlie's life support machine was turned off.

But he told the Old Bailey he was saying sorry because he had not been able to save the child from dying from brain injury.

Gibbs denies murdering Charlie in October 2008, and causing injuries to the baby's twin sister.

He told the court Charlie collapsed at home and he tried to resuscitate him.

But the prosecution says he caused non-accidental injuries to both babies.
