Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with felony child abuse for fracturing leg of 3-month old (Asheville, 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.

Asheville, NC (ACT) - An Arden father is facing a felony child abuse charge after police say he fractured his 3-month-old child's leg.

Trevor Warren Ridge, 35, of Peacock Lane, was charged Wednesday with intentional child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, according to a warrant at the Buncombe County magistrate's office.

Ridge is accused of assaulting the baby Dec. 14 causing a "spiral femur fracture," according to the warrant. Investigators said a doctor who examined the child determined the fracture was caused after the leg was twisted.

Asheville police investigated the case.

Ridge is being held at the Buncombe County Detention Facility under a $10,000 bond.
