Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with murder after burned remains of 1-year-old son found (Kimberley, South Africa)

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.

KIMBERLEY - A man has been arrested after the burnt remains of his baby boy were found in a trench in Galeshewe, Kimberley on Sunday, Northern Cape police said.

The 27-year-old father was charged with murder, Lieutenant Olebogeng Tawana said.

Police believed the one-year-old may have been murdered on Thursday, and the father reported him missing the next day in an attempt to mislead them. The toddler's mother raised suspicions after she told police she did not believe the father's story about the boy going missing.

Local residents found the body after noticing the smell.

"[He] was wrapped in a towel and burned not far away from their house," said Tawana.

The man would appear in the Galeshewe Magistrate's Court on Monday. -Sapa
