Congratulations, YUMAR BURKS! You're our 5,000th post here at Dastardly Dads. So many bad dads, so little time....
This particular daddy is charged with suffocating and beating to death his 6-month-old son. There is no mention of the baby's mother. In other words, this is a VERY TYPICAL Dastardly Dads story.
INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

East Lansing resident Yumar Burks, who allegedly killed his 6-month-old son, faces charges of murder and child abuse.
Enough evidence was presented during the second half of his preliminary hearing today in East Lansing’s 54-B District Court to move the case forward to circuit court, Judge David Jordon decided.
The autopsy of Burks’ son, Anthony Burks, confirmed he was murdered.
The medical examination showed multiple bruises on the infant’s body and signs he was forcefully suffocated.
Jordon denied bond and Yumar Burks was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
