Dastardly Dads: Dad with "full custody" to be re-tried for sons' deaths (Hillsboro, Ohio)

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 with "full custody" to be re-tried for sons' deaths (Hillsboro, Ohio)

We've posted many times on dad WESLEY COONROD who had "full custody" of his sons despite a history of domestic violence. And a history of "suspicious" fires.

HILLSBORO, OH (FOX19) - A Hillsboro father will be tried again for setting a fire that killed his two young sons.

A Highland County jury convicted Wesley Coonrod of child endangering charges, but deadlocked on all other charges, including aggravated murder and arson. Coonrod would have faced the death penalty if convicted of killing the 3- and 4-year-old boys.

Coonrod was scheduled to be sentenced Friday, but that was delayed and a new trial was tentatively set for January of 2011.

Prosecutors have a month to decide which charges Coonrod will face in retrial.
