Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with capital murder in death of infant son (Covington, Virginia)

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.

Va. Father Charged With Murder In Infant Son's Death

COVINGTON, Va. (AP) - A Covington man has been indicted on capital murder charges in the death of his infant son.

An Allegheny County grand jury also indicted 25-year-old Jared Meadows on felony child abuse charges Monday.

The Roanoke Times reports Meadows is accused of forcefully placing his son on the uncushioned armrest of a couch, causing a skull fracture.

The child was 27 days old when he died last September. An autopsy report and testimony from a preliminary hearing in February showed the child also had suffered multiple broken bones and eye and brain injuries.
