Dastardly Dads: Dad arrested after 2-month-old son found with multiple fractures (Sandy, Utah)

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.

Dad arrested after 2-month-old son found with multiple fractures (Sandy, Utah)

Dad is identified as ZACHARY MICHAEL BRAND. No mention of a mother in the home. I suspect this is a single father.

Father arrested after infant found with multiple fractures

SANDY — A 19-year-old man was arrested Sunday for investigation of felony child abuse after doctors found his infant son had 13 fractures.

Zachary Michael Brand was at a fast-food restaurant Friday changing the diaper of his 2-month-old son when he "twisted his son's leg and also the ankle, causing the leg to fracture," according to a Salt Lake County Jail report.

Later that night, as his son continued to cry, Brand used "excessive force" as he grabbed his son's wrist and shook it, the report stated.

The child was taken to Primary Children's Hospital, where doctors discovered the infant had sustained "up to 13 fractures."
