Dastardly Dads: Dad sentenced for injuring infant daughter with rectal thermometer (Cicero, New York)

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 THORNE GRIDLEY managed to perforate the bowel of his 1-year-old daughter when he inserted a rectal thermometer. The baby required emergency surgery to save her life. Where was the mom when this fool was (presumably) trying to take this baby's temperature?

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Syracuse (WSYR-TV/AP) - A father will serve seven years in state prison for injuring his 1-year-old daughter with a rectal thermometer.

Thorne Gridley, 28, Cicero, was sentenced Monday. He had pleaded guilty in October to inserting the thermometer with such force that it perforated her bowel, requiring emergency surgery to save the child's life.

At the sentencing, Gridley apologized and said he hoped to be a better husband and father in the future.
