Dastardly Dads: Dad charged in beating death of 18-month-old daughter (St. Louis, Missouri)

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.

The Associated Press

A St. Louis-area man is facing charges in the fatal beating of his 18-month-old daughter.

Authorities say 21-year-old Jamell Johnson of Arnold was charged Monday with child abuse and assault. Those charges were filed hours before the child died. It wasn't immediately clear if charges would be upgraded.

The girl was injured Sunday and taken to St. Anthony's Medical Center, then Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, where she died Monday afternoon.

Authorities say the abuse happened in an apartment.

Johnson is in the Jefferson County Jail on $100,000 cash-only bond.
