Dastardly Dads: Father charged in beating death of 2-month-old son (Hobart, Australia)

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.

Hobart baby dies, father facing charges

From: AAP November 28, 2012 3:42PM

A BABY boy has died in a Tasmanian hospital weeks after police charged his father with bashing the infant.

Police say the case will now be investigated by both Hobart criminal detectives and the coroner after the boy, aged two months old, passed away at 9am (AEDT) on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old father had already been facing charges of grievous bodily harm and ill-treating a child.

"The death of a child is sad news," Detective Senior Constable Scott Poke said in a statement.

Earlier this month, the infant was taken to a hospital near Latrobe in the state's north, and then flown to Royal Hobart Hospital with significant head trauma.

The father was arrested and charged three days later.

He is being held in custody.
