Dastardly Dads: Dad left baby alone in car; not found till unregistered car hauled off by tow truck driver (Tampa, Florida)

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 left baby alone in car; not found till unregistered car hauled off by tow truck driver (Tampa, Florida)

Dad EDWARD RILEY says he left the baby inside the car while doing a "quick visit" with relatives. That seems doubtful given that the baby was found by a tow truck driver who had hauled off the unregistered car. Dad faces child neglect charges.

Posted: 12:34 pm EDT August 26, 2009

TAMPA, Fla. -- A Tampa tow truck driver found a one-year-old baby inside of an unregistered car he towed from a parking lot. The toddler was found in the back seat when the towing company checked the vehicle at their lot.

Police say the baby's father, Edward Riley, told officers he left the baby inside the car because he went inside a relative's home for a quick visit.

It is unknown how long the baby was left alone. The father is in the Hillsborough County jail facing child neglect charges.
