Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with severely burning 5-month-old daughter (Ocala, Florida)

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.

Father charged after 5-month-old treated for burns

Last Updated: Thursday, January 17, 2013

OCALA -- A Marion County father is accused of child abuse after his infant daughter was treated for severe burns last month.

Ocala police said Jermal Morris claimed he accidentally spilled the hot chocolate on the 5-month-old girl back on Dec. 13.

Investigators said the child had first, second and third-degree burns that covered her mouth, legs and other areas.

Police say the child's burns were not an accident and arrested Morris Tuesday, Jan. 15, after they say he changed his story and said he spilled hot formula on the child.

Morris is charged with aggravated child abuse.

The baby spent more than a week in the hospital, but is now doing well in the care of her mother, police said.
