Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with manslaughter in death of 5-week-old son (Polk County, Alabama)

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 in Child's Death

Posted: Fri 4:53 PM, Jun 07, 2013

A Polk County man has been charged with manslaughter after an autopsy revealed his 5-week-old son suffered from blunt force trauma to the head.

Winter Haven police say 28-year-old Danny Colt Britt was booked early Friday morning.

He's also charged with aggravated child abuse.

His first appearance is scheduled for Saturday morning.

Police say Britt called 911 on May 18th when the child was not breathing.

The child was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

A medical examiner's report stated that a head injury just above the child's left ear could only have been caused by a significant blow to the head.

The death has been ruled a homicide.

The child's mother has not been charged.
