Dastardly Dads: Jury convicts dad for putting 17-month-old son in oven (San Mateo, California)

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.

SAN MATEO -- A California jury has convicted a father of child abuse for putting his son in a hot oven to teach the toddler a lesson.

Prosecutors say 21-year-old Gregory Colver of Daly City wanted to demonstrate the danger of a hot oven after the 17-month-old child banged his hand against the door of the stove.

San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe says Colver dropped or placed the boy in the oven, causing second- and third-degree burns.

The San Jose Mercury News says Colver was convicted Monday and he was immediately taken into custody. He faces up to 12 years in prison when he's sentenced Aug. 16.
