Dastardly Dads: Dad sentenced to life for murder of 3-month-old son (Shreveport, Louisiana)

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 Sentenced in Son's Murder
Posted: Feb 14, 2012 11:04 AM CST

A 22-year-old Shreveport man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing his infant son.

Grady Thornton was convicted last week of second-degree murder for the killing of his 3-month-old son, Terrell.

Thornton was sentenced Monday after state District Judge Scott Crichton denied a defense motion to convict him of negligent homicide. The child was brought to a hospital on June 24, 2008, and died the next day. Police said Thornton admitted he struck the boy in the head because the infant was crying and squeezed the boy's head hard until he stopped crying. An autopsy found the victim had a skull fracture and other injuries tied to being shaken.
