Dad JOSEPH ROY SCOTT just couldn't take it when his newborn son was crying. How dare that baby start bawling and annoy Daddy! So Daddy shoved the baby's head into a countertop to "quiet him." (That's how you "quiet" a baby??? Guess I read the wrong infant care books.) The baby suffered brain damage and seizures, and would have faced a lifetime of developmental disabilities--except that he developed liver failure and pneumonia and died.
Anyway, his piece of sh**, er, Frustrated Caretaking Father, then gets to post bail, because that's what we always do with abuser daddies. He then goes on to commit 13 felony robberies, which I'm sure will be treated with more gravity than his crime against his son, given that the robberies involved Real Men and Major Money, whereas a baby is just a baby after all.
So while Daddy was "caretaking," where was this baby's mom? No mention. When will we learn that volatile young thugs who just happen to be fathers are not good infant caregivers?
INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Father Accused Of Beating Son To Death To Stand Trial
Man Claims He Hit Infant To Make Him Stop Crying
POSTED: 12:32 pm PST February 4, 2011
INDIO, Calif. -- An Indio man who allegedly hit his infant son to stop him from crying, leading to the baby's death, was ordered today to stand trial for second-degree murder and assaulting a child.
Joseph Roy Scott, 22, also faces 13 felony robbery charges. A judge is expected to decide later today whether he be tried on those charges.
Scott allegedly used the heel of his hand to quiet his crying, 23-day- old son Alexander on June 11, 2008. Investigators believe the baby's head hit a countertop, causing brain damage and seizures that contributed to his death in July 2009, said Deputy District Attorney Kristi Hester said.
"He was crying and (Scott) got angry and frustrated with him crying," Hester said.
Alexander survived the alleged blow, but in the next few months, medication he was taking to prevent seizures caused his liver to fail. He contracted pneumonia in the hospital while being treated for his liver issues and died July 4, 2009.
"Had he been a normal healthy kid he would have been able to recover from the pneumonia, but with the after-effects of brain damage, he wasn't able to," Hester said.
Had he survived, Hester said Alexander would have suffered from developmental issues the rest of his life.
Initially arrested on suspicion of child abuse, Scott was able to post bail in December 2008. After being released, he allegedly committed a string of robberies at Circle K convenience stores across Riverside County.
From Jan. 13 to Jan. 28, 2009, Scott allegedly robbed 13 of the convenience stores from Indio to Rubidoux.
If ordered to stand trial on those charges, Scott faces sentence- enhancing allegations of using a firearm.

"White supremacist" dad with violent criminal history "suspect" in death of 5-week-old son (Largo, Florida)
Dad CRAIG ALAN WALL, SR. is practically a poster boy for fathers rights. Check this out:
1) He has been arrested for violating an domestic violence injunction filed by his infant son's mother. He was not to contact her regarding the police investigation into their infant son's death--but he did
2) He is a "suspect" in the baby's death -- baby went into cardiac arrest while under Daddy's "care." (Mom wasn't home)
3) Dad "flipped off" the mother as he was driving through the church parking lot for the baby's service
4) Mom says Dad as a "very, very bad temper" which leads him to hit walls, coffee tables
5) Mom fears for her life and the life of her other son, age 6. Says Dad has blocked the door and threatened to kill her if she left the home
6) Dad has an EXTENSIVE criminal record including convictions for robbery with a deadly weapon, and armed burglary. And lots of other stuff too. See below.
7) AND HE'S A FREAKING WHITE SUPREMACIST
Just more evidence for what we've said all along. Domestic violence, murdering fathers, and white supremacy go together like peanut butter, jelly, and Wonder Bread.
And you know that Pinellas County has some father-friendly judges: This POS is out on just $1,000 bail!

Arrest report identifies father as suspect in infant's death

LARGO — Police arrested Craig Alan Wall Sr., a Clearwater man whose infant died Feb. 6, Sunday on a charge of violating a domestic violence injunction filed by the baby's mother. A report on the incident said Wall is a suspect in his son's death.
The report from Largo police said Wall, 34, was arrested around 4 p.m. about two hours after he drove through the parking lot of St. Dunstan's Anglican Church, where his son's memorial service was being held.
The infant, Craig Wall Jr., was rushed to All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg on Feb. 5 after he went into cardiac arrest while in his father's care at the family's Clearwater apartment. The child's mother was not home, according to Clearwater police, who are investigating the death.
The 5-week-old baby died at the hospital the next day.
According to the Largo arrest report, the infant's mother obtained an injunction on Feb. 8 that forbade Wall Sr. from contacting her because of an investigation by Clearwater police "that (Wall Sr.) was suspected of being the one responsible for the infant's death."
Clearwater police declined to comment Tuesday on whether Wall is a suspect in his baby's death. Police spokeswoman Beth Watts said investigators are waiting for results from the medical examiner and that the investigation is "ongoing."
According to an arrest report, Wall led a friend to the church and asked the friend to videotape the service and read a statement that Wall had prepared.
The infant's mother told police that Wall "flipped her off" when he drove through the church parking lot.
In her petition for the injunction, the baby's mother, 29-year-old Laura Taft, said that Wall "has a very, very bad temper," which sometimes leads to him hitting walls or the coffee table.
Taft said, on Jan. 25, Wall tried to hit the family dog because she had eaten something off of the floor. Taft said she tried to leave the apartment with the children, but Wall blocked the doorway and threatened to kill her if she left.
Taft said she feared for her life and the life of her other son, Connor Taft, who will turn 6 on Saturday.
Wall was released from state prison in September 2008 after serving 14 years for a 1994 robbery with a deadly weapon, armed burglary and grand theft auto.
According to court documents, Wall was 18 when he barged into a St. Petersburg home in November 1993 and pointed a gun at a North Carolina couple who were in town visiting a relative. He demanded the couple's keys and stole their car.
Wall had been arrested as a juvenile for burglary and arson, according to a sentencing sheet attached to that court file.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Wall has multiple white supremacy tattoos, including swastikas and "RAHOWA," an acronym for Racial Holy War. On his left arm is a tattoo of a "Creativity Movement" shield. The Creativity Movement is a white separatist religion founded by Ben Klassen, author of The White Man's Bible.
Wall had already left the church when Largo police arrived Sunday afternoon. After police called him, Wall agreed to meet them at the Largo Public Library, where he was arrested. He was taken to the Pinellas County Jail and released Monday after posting $1,000 bail.
