Dastardly Dads: Verdict expected for father whose son hid in oven to escape beating (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

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.

Verdict expected for father whose son hid in oven to escape beating (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Dad WILLIAM T. HURLEY seems to be one sicko puppie. His 11-year-old son was so desperate to escape his father's beatings that he actually hid from him in the oven.

Verdict expected for father whose son hid in oven to escape beating
By Jana Shortal

MINNEAPOLIS -- A Minneapolis father accused of beating his 11-year-old son so brutally that the boy hid from him in an oven is in court Tuesday, and a verdict is expected.

Twenty-three-year-old William T. Hurley was charged late last year with malicious punishment of a child.

Investigators in the case say Hurley turned the oven on when the boy got in to make him come out.

The boy told police his father had been hitting him with an extension cord and burned him with an iron when he found the boy in his mother's bedroom.
