Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with 1st-degree murder in death of 9-year-old son; previously did prison time for abusing the boy (Fayetteville, North Carolina)

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.

FAYETTEVILLE — A Fayetteville man convicted of abusing his toddler in 2004 is now facing first-degree murder charges in the boy's death.

Police say Harold Nathaniel Farris Jr. was arrested Wednesday after a manhunt.

It wasn't known if he had an attorney. Farris was convicted in 2006 of felony child abuse and child abuse inflicting serious injury. State records show he served more than two years in prison and was released in December 2008.

Police said Farris' son had been hospitalized since the abuse and was in a comatose state. The 9-year-old boy died in November.
