Dastardly Dads: Protective mom goes on hunger strike to protest losing child custody to violent father (Cascais, Spain)

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.

Cascais mother on hunger strike after losing children to violent father

in News · 15-06-2016 07:43:00 ·

The mother of two young children who has again lost custody of her two young children to their violent father is today starting a hunger strike outside the Cascais courthouse.

Ana Maximiano decided to launch this form of protest after the court decided to extend the father’s custody, aged 2 and 3, by an additional six months. The father had previously been given a two-and-a-half year suspended sentence for domestic violence.

But according to the mother’s lawyer, the court renewed the custody arrangements as they reportedly do not have access to a social services report which states that while the father seems calm, the children should stay with him as he loses control and becomes violent.
