Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with felony battery for beating preteen (South Bend, Indiana)

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.

Dad charged with battering preteenSeptember 01, 2011

SOUTH BEND — A 34-year-old South Bend father was charged Thursday with felony battery for allegedly striking his preteen child with a switch.

Anthony Collier Sr. admitted to detectives that he lost his temper when disciplining the child in April, and struck the child’s back and arms with a flexible tree stick for about two to three minutes, according to court documents.

The child sustained marks on the back and arms, prosecutors said.

Collier also told detectives that he did not normally discipline the child that way and if he had the chance he would apologize.
