Dastardly Dads: Dad charged after 3-month-old baby suffers brain injury (Burlington, Iowa)

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.

Father Charged After Baby Suffered Brain Injury
POSTED: 2:49 pm CDT September 10, 2011

BURLINGTON, Iowa -- A Burlington man is accused of shaking his infant, causing a brain injury.

Timothy Mitchell, 22, is charged with child endangerment in the May incident that sent his then-3-month-old child to an Iowa City hospital.

The investigation stems from a report from the Department of Human Services that says the child suffered "a brain bleed."

Police say Mitchell claimed the baby squirmed out of his arms as he was bouncing the child to calm him or her after being hit in the head with a book by a sibling.

No number was listed for Mitchell. Des Moines County Court records show a public defender has been appointed to represent Mitchell but no name was listed.

Mitchell faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
