Police: Video-game playing dad murdered 1-month-old son for crying (Bedford County, Tennessee)

It sounds like a crazy or unique case. Sadly, it's not. We have many cases here at Dastardly Dads of young fathers who killed their crying infants because their video game were being interrupted. Dads just like WILLIAM JOHNSTON. (Click on the video game tab for more examples.)

The brains of young men and women (especially mothers who have gone through a pregnancy) are just not alike when it comes to things like "gaming" and the nurturing of infants. We need to stop pretend that they are identical before more babies are killed.

Autopsy Confirms Infant's Death Was A Homicide
Posted: Jan 27, 2011 4:32 PM CST

BEDFORD COUNTY, Tenn. - An autopsy has confirmed that the death of one-month old baby in Bedford County was a homicide.

The baby, William Johnston, was in the care of his father, Andrew. The district attorney said that child abuse charges against Johnston will likely be upgraded to homicide.

Johnston was charged with aggravated child abuse in October, when his son was rushed to the hospital with brain hemorrhaging, broken bones, and bruises.

Bond Raised For Man Accused In Infant Son's Death

The baby suffered a stroke, and later died.

According to a police report, Johnston said he'd been playing video games, and little William wouldn't stop crying, so he shook him.

Johnston will appear in court next month.
