Dastardly Dads: Dad charged with aggravated child abuse of 2-month-old baby (Lebanon, Tennessee)

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.

A Lebanon father has been charged with aggravated child abuse of his 2-month-old child after an indictment handed down by a Wilson County grand jury.

John Avery Manus, 41, is being held in the Wilson County Jail after his arrest Aug. 15 on a $25,000 bond.

Lebanon police and the Wilson County Emergency Management Agency responded to a call on Lake Street in May that required the child to be sent to a medical facility because of injuries. The call also led to an investigation. Further details about the child’s injuries weren’t released by police.

A court date is scheduled Sept. 26.
