Drunk dad threatened to kill 8-month-old daughter, then took off with her in car (Luzerne County, Pennsylvania)

Gee, what an impressive daddy this JOSE SANTANA is. "Allegedly" argues with the mother of his 8-month-old daughter, then I suppose to get even, he threatens to kill the baby before taking off with her. And did I mention that he was drunk? He was later pulled over for DUI and--SURPRISE!--had no car seat for the baby either.

Perfect illustration of how violent fathers use child custody (e.g. possession) as a way to control/punish the women in their lives. It's pretty obvious that father-child togetherness time was not Daddy's overriding motive here.

Hat tip to C.
