Dastardly Dads: Dad charged in death of 2-week-old daughter appears in court (Sioux Falls, South Dakota)

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.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - A 21-year-old Sioux Falls man turned himself in after a warrant was issued following the death of his infant daughter.

Michael Schumm is charged with child abuse and neglect as well as possession of marijuana.

The charges stem from the death of Schumm's two-week-old daughter last week.

Schumm was home with the infant when she stopped breathing. Police say he did not call 9-1-1 until 25 minutes after he knew something was wrong.

Police also found more than two ounces of marijuana in his apartment.

A judge has set Schumm's bond at $15,000. He is also ordered to have no contact with children under the age of seven.

Schumm is allowed to submit a request to attend his daughter's funeral.
