For years now, the press has fawned over the stay-at-home dad--how mighty, how noble, how self-sacrificing he is! As too many women know all too well, many of these glorified creatures are simply deadbeats who refuse regular employment. And in these days of "gender neutrality," you can't get rid of these deadbeats because they have now marketed themselves to the courts and society as "stay-at-home" fathers. So they are now in a perfect blackmail position. If you try to get rid of them, they will take custody of your children! (This in fact happened to me many years ago.) In addition, many of these deadbeats are short-tempered jerks who just can't hold a job (apart from not wanting one), so it's really no surprise that they take out their "frustration" on young children and/or their mothers. Just like this UNNAMED DAD here.

FENTON, Michigan — A 31-year-old Fenton man was arrested after his girlfriend told police he assaulted her and their four-year-old son.
The 24-year-old Fenton woman told police that she and her four-year-old son were assaulted by her live-in boyfriend, who also is the child’s father, on April 18. She showed officers photos of the injuries her son suffered on her cell phone.
Officers observed several facial injuries.
The boy was taken to Hurley Medical Center for a medical evaluation. He had no serious injuries.
Police arrested the man who is a stay-at-home dad, and he admitted to striking the child out of frustration because of something the boy had done.
Since the incident, the woman, her son, and a five-year-old daughter, moved out of the home.
