Dastardly Dads: Dad arrested for abusing 13-year-old son (Avondale, Arizona)

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.

AVONDALE, AZ (KPHO) - A father is facing child abuse charges tonight for allegedly pinning his 13-year-old son against a wall, wrestling the boy to the ground and smacking the boy in the face.

Court paperwork says Meraney Daher hit the boy hard enough to draw blood Wednesday afternoon inside their Avondale home.

Daher's wife called police after seeing the fight. She says she had to pull her husband off her son, and the boy escaped to an upstairs bedroom.

Meraney told officers the boy was talking back to him and said the fight was just verbal.

Officers said they saw the cut on the boy's face and arrested Meraney.
