Dastardly Dads: Dad to be arraigned for beating of 25-day-old daughter (San Bernadino, California)

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 due in court in alleged beating of 25-day-old daughter

By Robert J. Lopez May 10, 2013, 6:37 a.m.

An 18-year-old father was scheduled to be arraigned Friday on charges in connection with the alleged beating of his daughter when she was less than a month old.

Sean Michael Beard was arrested Wednesday, about a month after police said he and the baby’s mother first took the child to the hospital with bruising to her face, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said.

Doctors there recommended they take the 25-day-old baby to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where doctors discovered additional trauma allegedly caused by abuse, Sheriff's Department officials said in a statement.

Beard, a Hesperia resident, was booked on suspicion of willful cruelty to a child. He was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.
