Dad convicted of forcing sons to fight during visitation; had previously assaulted mother (Rockport, Maine)

We've reported on dad PEDRO DELGADO-BRISTOL before:

And here's what we said about this case before:

Dads are discriminated against? No way. Utterly catered to is more like it. How else can you explain why a dad like PEDRO DELGADO got weekend visitation with his 4- and 6-year-old sons?

This creep pleaded GUILTY in 2008 to assaulting and terrorizing the boys' mother, and violation of a protection order. For her own "safety," Mom has to drop off the boys at a "neutral site," the police station. So if this piece of sh** is admittedly a dangerous dude, why was he allowed anywhere near these two young children? What did you think the outcome would be? Trips to the museum and music lessons? Of course not.

Seems Daddy decided it would be fun to make the kids fight each other, with closed fists, kicks, and knees to the body. It was fun to watch, don't you know, kind of like Ultimate Fighting Championship on TV. But with live action, man! And if the kids cried and didn't want to fight, especially after they developed bruising on their faces and the rest of their little bodies, well, too bad! Then Daddy would start smacking them, which is what he "allegedly" did to the 4-year-old.

We need to stop visitation/custody rights for fathers with histories of violence. Period. Kids don't need their health and safety compromised because some @$$shole insists on his "rights."

Maine man gets 2 years for forcing sons to fight

updated 6:57 a.m. CT, Thurs., April 15, 2010

BELFAST, Maine - A Maine man has been sentenced to two years in prison for forcing his 4-year-old son and 6-year-old son to fight each other while he watched.

Twenty-six-year-old Pedro Delgado-Bristol pleaded guilty Tuesday in Waldo County Superior Court to assault and other charges.

The Bangor Daily News says the boys told detectives they were forced to punch, kick and knee each other on Jan. 9 at Delgado-Bristol's Rockport home. The boys also told investigators Delgado-Bristol hit the younger boy with a sandal when the boy refused to fight any more.

The boys' mother saw the injuries and reported the father to authorities.

A judge called Delgado-Bristol's actions "depraved" and barred him from having unsupervised contact with either boy.
