Notice there is not one word on who thought it was a good idea to give this short-tempered little POS custody of a 1-year-old.
Dad is identified as STEVEN THOMAS FUSSELL.

Father sentenced after admitting child abuse, biting toddler on cheek
February 09, 2015 3:00 pm • By Kerana Todorov
A 22-year-old father who spent about a year in jail for child abuse will not have to spend more time in custody.
Napa County Superior Court Judge Mark Boessenecker on Thursday sentenced Steven Thomas Fussell of Napa to two years in the Napa County jail, according to court records. However, Boessenecker also ruled Fussell has served his time already.
Fussell pleaded no contest in early January to one count of child abuse for beating his 1½-year-old son in December 2013, according to court records. A no-contest plea carries the same weight as a guilty plea at sentencing.
Thursday’s sentence is considered a prison term under California’s realignment law designed to keep lesser violent criminals out of state prisons.
Fussell served 389 days in the Napa County jail after his December 2013 arrest until his release Jan. 7, according to court records. He was released after he agreed to sign a plea agreement with the Napa County District Attorney’s Office. On Thursday, Fussell received credit for an additional 388 jail days.
The child has recovered from his injuries, according to the Napa County District Attorney’s Office.
It is unclear where the boy lives. According to court records, before Fussell was arrested, he had cared for his son for two months because the child’s mother had lost custody of the boy.
On Dec. 15, 2013, Fussell was arrested in Napa after Napa Police responded to a report of child abuse.
According to a witness, Fussell was at her residence at another Napa address the day before when the father took his crying son to a bathroom. The next morning, the boy’s face was bruised, his lips were swollen and his eyes were nearly closed, according to Fussell’s probation report. Fussell first told police the child was injured in a fall and in a fight with another child, police said in a court filing.
The boy was transported to the hospital; Fussell was booked into the Napa County jail.
Eventually, Fussell admitted striking his son with an open hand on his mouth and face and biting him because he was frustrated because the boy would not stop crying, police said in a court filing.
Fussell said he shook his son and played “‘running from cops’” and bit him on his cheek in an attempt to stop the child from crying, according to the court filing.

"Caretaking" dad murders 2-year-old daughter for interrupting his video game while Mom was at work (Galveston, Texas)
Yet another useless piece of trash who apparently doesn't work and plays video games all day--except when he's viciously attacking a 2-year-old. The poor mother was working to support his lazy @$$, while Daddy couldn't even bother to get medical help.
Frankly, I'd like to see a new WPA program that puts goons like this to work building roads and fences and such. They have all this strength that they currently use to kill children--let's put it to good use!. And let moms stay home if they wish.
Dad is identified as CHRISTOPHER MORGAN BENSON.

Southeast Texas man sentenced to 35 years in death of infant daughter, girl shaken
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS July 29, 2014 - 7:55 am EDT
GALVESTON, Texas — A Southeast Texas man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for the death of his 2-month-old daughter after he shook her and fell on her.
Christopher Morgan Benson of League City pleaded guilty to murder in a plea deal Monday in Galveston. Lola Glover died in 2012.
Benson was charged with injury to a child. The count was later upgraded to murder.
The Galveston County Daily News (http://bit.ly/WLkEqG ) reports the 28-year-old father told police that Lola was crying as he played video games. An affidavit says Benson shook the baby for about 10 minutes, panicked when she became unresponsive and "fell" on her with his full weight.
The mother discovered the injured baby after returning from work. Lola was taken to a hospital and died a week later.

Custodial dad arrested for murdering 3-year-old daughter (Hurst, Texas)
This article provides more information than most, in that eventually it's pretty clear that the alleged killer daddy had custody. But WHO gave him custody? Why would a father--who is evidently violent, a deadbeat, a pothead, and a pig--get custody? What court is responsible for this freaking travesty? That's the Great Unanswered Question here. But then Texas is well known as Abuser Daddy Heaven, given the power of the state fathers' rights groups.
Daddy is identified as ROBERT MARQUIS LAMAR WILLIAMS.
Still MORE evidence that daddies are not "discriminated" against by the family courts. Not when a scumbag like this dude had total access to a 3-year-old girl.

Hurst police accuse father of killing 3-year-old daughter
Posted Tuesday, Apr. 09, 20136
By Domingo Ramirez Jr.
A 3-year-old girl, crying in her bedroom because she was hungry, screamed "Daddy!" when her father stormed into the room and slammed the door, according to an arrest warrant affidavit written by Hurst police and obtained by the Star-Telegram on Tuesday.
A witness told police that he then heard thumps and thuds for 30 to 45 seconds. The noises sounded like something was hitting the floor, he said.
That was the night of March 21.
The next afternoon, emergency responders found the child, Anastasia Williams, dead in her bed.
On Tuesday, Hurst police arrested Robert Marquis Lamar Williams, 27, accusing him of killing his daughter.
Williams remained in the Hurst Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $100,000. Detectives expect to seek a charge of murder-serious bodily injury against Williams, police said.
Williams has adamantly denied killing Anastasia, the affidavit states.
In one interview, when detectives told him that evidence pointed to him, Williams laughed and started eating ice out of a cup.
Asked to give detectives anything to show that he didn't kill her, Williams said, "I wish I could, but I can't."
Williams did get upset at being called a bad father, saying he did the best he could.
Finding the body
Anastasia's mother lives in another state, and his daughter had been living with him since November 2011, Williams told police.
They lived with Williams' girlfriend and her son in an apartment in the 800 block of Cullum Court off Precinct Line Road north of Texas 10 in Hurst.
The affidavit included a description of the apartment. It was filthy and in disarray with no furniture in the living room. Old food was out on a kitchen table and counter tops. The water had been turned off, and the family kept water jugs for bathing. Anastasia was bathed once a week.
There was little or no food in a refrigerator, and clothing throughout the apartment appeared soiled.
Neighbors interviewed by Hurst police said they often heard Williams yelling and screaming, and Anastasia crying, "No, Daddy, no!"
Child Protective Services reported no record of previous contact with the family.
Investigators determined that only three people were in the apartment with Anastasia on March 21-22 -- Williams, his girlfriend and her son. Within days, the girlfriend and her son were eliminated as suspects because of alibis and evidence.
On the night of March 21, Williams became agitated about Anastasia's crying, the affidavit states. He smoked marijuana even though he knew he had to take a drug test the next morning at a job interview. He planned to use urine from his daughter.
Sometime that night, Williams went into the crying child's bedroom, and the girlfriend's son heard the thumping sounds.
The son told police he never heard Anastasia again and didn't see her up the next day.
When he checked on her in the early afternoon, she was cold, he told police. He fled the apartment because he was scared of Williams, who might think he had killed the girl. Also, he said, he had marijuana he didn't want authorities to find.
Williams' girlfriend was at work. Williams told detectives he fed his daughter a hot dog for breakfast, took lunch to his girlfriend and returned home and took a nap.
In mid-afternoon, Williams alerted a neighbor that Anastasia was not breathing and called 911.
Emergency responders found her dead shortly before 3:30 p.m. in her bedroom.
Her death was caused by an injury to her abdomen that lacerated her liver, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's website, which ruled her death a homicide.
The medical examiner's office later told Hurst detectives that Anastasia most likely was punched or kicked multiple times.
Williams told detectives that he spanked Anastasia probably once a day and that he sometimes turned up the sound on the TV to drown out her crying.
In interviews, he showed no remorse or emotion over his daughter's death, detectives wrote in the affidavit.
