Dad arraigned on battery charges involving 4-year-old son (Clarksville, Indiana)

Another case where there is no mention of a mother. Is DAVID FULTZ JR. a single dad?

Notice that once again, we see a father who "allegedly" used excessive force against a 4-year-old child, breaking his leg. For better or for worse, that's what all that great male upper body strength can lead to. And in fact, these kinds of injuries are almost uniformly caused by male caretakers--though it's become extremely taboo to say so openly. But the research has shown this to be true.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Man Arraigned On Child Abuse Charges
David Fultz: 'I'm An Innocent Man'
POSTED: 4:54 pm EST November 30, 2010

CLARKSVILLE, Ind. -- A Clarksville man was in court Tuesday to answer to charges he abused his 4-year-old son.

"I'm an innocent man. I love my children, brah, I didn't do nothing," said David Fultz Jr.

Fultz, 28, was arrested over the weekend after officers went to Kosair Children's Hospital.

His son was being treated there for a broken leg.

A doctor told police that only excessive force could have caused the injury, and the boy also had been hit in the face.

According to court records, the boy told officers his father hit him because he was on top of his little brother, but Fultz told police the boy was hurt when he flipped him over his shoulder while playing in a bedroom.

Fultz is charged with battery and neglect of a dependent.

Dad sentenced for battery of 8-month-old daughter (Indianapolis, Indiana)

Dad DAVID M. LIKENS has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for battering his then 8-month-old daughter, who had multiple bone fractures. Seems Daddy was involved in molesting a 3-year-old girl as a 12-year-old boy too. What were the real chances this kind of kid would turn around, really?

Father sentenced for harming baby girl
Posted: March 5, 2010

An Indianapolis man involved in a notorious abuse case as an adolescent has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for battery on his infant daughter.

David M. Likens, 21, was convicted of battery last month by Judge Robert Altice at a bench trial. Altice sentenced him Wednesday.

Likens was arrested after his then-8-month-old daughter, Shayla, suffered bone fractures on her legs, a forearm and two ribs, police said. His wife, Dina L. Williams, 20, has pleaded guilty to neglect and awaits sentencing April 7.

When Likens was 12, he and two older brothers took turns molesting a 3-year-old girl in August 2001 in their mobile home on the Southwestside.
