Ten-year-old son dies from beating by custodial father (Multan, Pakistan)

This is what happens in a culture where fathers rights are institutionalized, and mothers have none. Even fathers with criminal records get complete control of the kids. Not one word here on what happened to this poor boy's mother. Typical in that the mother is erased...but this happens in stories about abusive/violent custodial fathers all the time.

Dad is identified as NASIR.
