Father charged after 6-year-old son, two others shot dead in Greensboro
Hoanh Rcom, 34, of Greensboro is charged with three counts of first-degree...By PAUL GARBER | Winston-Salem Journal

A man is in police custody after his 6-year-old son and two adult friends of the family were found shot dead in a Greensboro apartment complex early Thursday.
Also, a 12-year-old boy and the slain boy's mother were wounded. The boy's mother, Hli Wie, 29, was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center for treatment for a gunshot wound to the hand.
The 6-year-old was identified as Jason Rcom. His father, Hoanh Rcom, 34, is charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
The 12-year-old was not identified. He was wounded in the arm, and his injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.
Susan Danielsen, a spokeswoman for the Greensboro Police Department, said the investigation is in its early stages but it appears the shooting was related to a domestic dispute.
On July 7, Hoanh Rcom was served with a domestic violence protective order prohibiting contact with Wie, police said. The two were not married, Danielson said.
Police received a 911 call about the shootings just after midnight and went to the apartment complex off Wendover Avenue.
An officer arrived and tried to block the exit from the apartment complex parking lot when his car was struck by the driver of a pickup truck who was trying to leave.
The driver tried to get out of his truck through the passenger window but police, with the help of a neighbor, took the man into custody.
A witness told FOX8/WGHP, the Winston-Salem Journal's newsgathering partner, that a man in the complex came to the officer's aid during the arrest.
"He ran into his apartment and retrieved a firearm and helped until the officer could control the suspect and keep him from fleeing. He was prepared to help the officer and prevent the officer from being injured, and that's pretty significant, I think," the witness said.
The officer, who has not been identified, received minor injuries.
The man taken into custody told the officer and the neighbor that he had shot some people in an apartment, police said.
Investigators entered the apartment and found an adult male in a closet. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have identified him as Joshua Samuel Prago, 43, of Greensboro, a friend of the family.
Jason Rcom and an adult female, identified as Hdingh Nie, age unavailable, also a friend of the family, were taken to Moses Cone Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
Officers have recovered an assault rifle from the apartment that they believe was used in the attack.
Hoanh Rcom was being held in the Guilford County jail without bond.

Police: dad murdered mom when she dropped off kids for visitation; were in "bitter custody dispute" (Raleigh, North Carolina)
"RELATIONSHIPS" aren't "volatile." People are. In this case, dad GRANT RUFFIN, who apparently had visitation rights despite his history of violence. Notice that there was a "bitter custody dispute" as well. Which simply means that an abuser control freak daddy used custodial rights and the courts to continue to his war against the mother. I'll just about bet the courts required her to facilitate visitation. And now she's been murdered and Daddy is arrested....
If Daddy hadn't been provided with child access by the courts, then Mom would probably still be alive....

Laura Jean Ackerson: North Carolina Police Arrest Husband And Wife In Disappearance Of North Carolina Mother
First Posted: 7/25/11 06:25 PM ET Updated: 7/26/11 10:43 AM ET
Authorities in North Carolina have arrested two people in connection with the death of a 27-year-old woman who was reported missing earlier this month.
Raleigh police have charged Grant Ruffin Hayes, 32, and his wife, Amanda Perry Hayes, 39, with the murder of 27-year-old Laura Jean Ackerson. The couple were taken into custody at 1 a.m. today, Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue told The Huffington Post.
Grant Hayes was an ex-boyfriend of Ackerson and fathered her two children, police said.
Ackerson was last seen on July 13, when she dropped off her kids at the Hayes home. She was reported missing two days later when she failed to show up for work. On July 20, Ackerson's Ford Focus was found abandoned near the 5400 block of Summer Manor Lane in Raleigh.
On Sunday, the dismembered remains of a woman were found in three separate locations near Oyster Creek, Texas, about 60 miles south of Houston. The remains, which are believed to be Ackerson's, were found near Amanda Hayes' sister's home. Investigators do not suspect the sister had any involvement in the crime, but they did recover several items from her home, including a machete, police reported.
Chief Deputy Craig Brady of the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office in Texas told the Associated Press that investigators suspect Ackerson was killed in North Carolina and transported to Texas. Divers are still searching Oyster Creek for additional human remains.
According to an arrest warrant made public today, investigators believe Ackerson was killed on July 13.
Sheri Ackerson, a friend and former sister-in-law to Laura Ackerson, told ABCNews.com that Ackerson and Hayes had a volatile relationship and were involved in a bitter child custody dispute.
"All I know is that he was horrible to her... She was very bright, but she made a poor choice. Grant was a very poor choice," Ackerson said.
If Daddy hadn't been provided with child access by the courts, then Mom would probably still be alive....

Dad charged with assaulting 18-day-old son (Columbus, Ohio)
Dad JEFFREY KENNEDY has been indicted on felonious assault charges. Meanwhile, notice that Mom has lost custody--even though she was apparently sleeping when the "frustrated" daddy was apparently going off on the baby. Notice the double standard. Moms are responsible for the actions of others even when they are the mothers of newborns and are sleeping--probably from total exhaustion. Daddies can dump their kids with any random girlfriend, and not get charged--even if the girlfriend apparently kills the kid.

Dad found guilty of child endangerment for subjecting children to below-freezing temperatures (Woodstock, Virginia)
Dad JASON LEE MULLINS was apparently drunk when he got into a fight and stormed off with his two kids in below-freezing temperatures. The kids were found with hypothermia. The fight was with his in-laws. Where mom was in all this is curiously erased. Single dad or what?

Father is guilty in ordeal of children
By Preston Knight -- pknight@nvdaily.com
WOODSTOCK -- A town man has pleaded guilty in Shenandoah County Circuit Court to subjecting his young children to below-freezing temperatures following an argument with his in-laws.
Jason Lee Mullins, 32, 710 S. Water St., entered a plea agreement on two charges of child endangerment Wednesday. Sentencing will be left to the court on Oct. 5 at 1:30 p.m., and the commonwealth, as part of the deal to have him plead guilty, will not argue during that hearing.
According to Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Ken Alger, the Woodstock Police Department responded to the residence on Jan. 13 for a report that Mullins had left on foot with his children -- ages 9 and 10 -- after the argument. Alcohol was involved, he said, and the in-laws, who Mullins and his family lived with, were concerned that the children were not properly dressed.
"It was a very cold night," Alger said.
A criminal complaint states that it felt like 11 degrees outside.
Local police combed the area and a search and rescue team from Northern Virginia also was contacted to assist. Officers called Mullins' cell phone to determine where the group was, and he and his children were found in a wooded area near Lora Drive after about two hours. The children, whose shoes and pants were wet because they had walked through mud puddles, had hypothermia and were treated at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, Alger said.
He said one of the children told the Department of Social Services that Mullins had indicated that the group was hiding from police.
The complaint states that Mullins was apprehended after running 15-20 feet away from an officer.

Dad gets 10 years for 2-year-old daughter's burns (Fort Wayne, Indiana)
Dad SERGIO SANDOVAL will be spending 10 years in prison. Where was mom while all this was going on? Working?

Dad handed 10 years for daughter’s burns
Rebecca S. Green | The Journal Gazette
FORT WAYNE – A 31-year-old father was sentenced Friday to a decade in prison for causing his daughter to suffer severe burns to her lower body from scalding bath water.
When Allen Superior Court Judge John Surbeck sentenced Sergio Sandoval to prison on the single charge of neglect of a dependent causing serious bodily injury, Sandoval’s family wept loudly in the courtroom, and Sandoval put his head on his arms and cried.
The jury in Sandoval’s first trial couldn’t reach a verdict, but in his second trial in June, jurors convicted him of the charge. Expert witnesses testified that Sandoval placed the child in scalding hot water, evidenced by the linear burns on the nearly 2-year-old girl’s body.
Sandoval contended that the toddler climbed into the bathtub on her own. He was filling the tub with alternating buckets of hot and cold water, filled from the washing machine hook-ups because the pipes in their mobile home were frozen.
Immediately after the toddler was injured, Sandoval pulled her out of the water and took her to a hospital. She was transferred to St. Joseph Hospital’s burn unit for treatment of second-degree burns on her feet, buttocks and genitals.
Surbeck said he believed that Sandoval placed the girl in the water, possibly in order to “get her attention,” but hadn’t thought through the consequences of his actions.
He sentenced Sandoval to 12 years but suspended two years and ordered that time served on probation.

Kids are being murdered at the hands of their violent custodial dads, steps (Saudi Arabia)
You don't need a crystal ball to find out the results of a society that institutionalizes the rights of the father over the rights of the mother and children. Just look at Saudi Arabia, where it is quite evident that children in the "care" of their CUSTODIAL FATHERS are at MUCH great risk of abuse and even death.

Local Press: Kids caught between custody law and violent stepmoms

THERE have been terrible crimes committed against children, including the murder of four-year-old Ahmad by his stepmother in Taif.
Previously, nine-year-old girl Ghasoon was tortured and killed by her father and stepmother in Makkah. Areej, who was in her father's care, was also tortured and killed by him with the help of his wife. These are real terrible crimes.
Areej's mother filed a complaint in court to secure custody of her daughter because she said it was obvious her father and stepmother were torturing her. The judge rejected her claim. The judge awarded the father Areej's custody and ordered the mother to take her daughter back to him, who killed her with his wife's assistance in 2007.
I am surprised by the judge’s decision despite the evidence of torture. To me this is against the real aim and objectives of custody law. The whole point is to ensure the best interests of children and to prevent them from coming to any harm. We should protect their childhood so they are raised properly.
Mothers are usually entitled to sole custody but unfortunately most of our judges do not see it this way. In the judges’ minds only fathers are suited to take custody of their children.
See what happened to Areej after this unfair ruling issued by the judge. She died at the hands of those deemed by the judge as more suitable to take care of her. Who then is responsible?
How come the judge handling Ahmad’s case did not notice that he and his sister were being mistreated and were then separated from their mother for three years?
Ahmad was only an infant at that time, so how can you separate such a young child from his mother? Even if she gets married, this should not prevent her from caring for her own children.
Where is the role of women in raising and educating kids? When it comes to women's employment issues, we see critics who claim the role of the woman is to stay at home and take care of her children. Why do they forget this when it comes to who has custody of children?
Even judges support the idea of stepmothers with no mercy in their hearts to take care of children and award custody to them without proper investigations to clearly understand the situation.
We must put an end to such incidents where fathers and stepmothers torture and kill their children. Therefore I urge all Muslim centers and councils to review the jurisprudence based on weak traditions.
Unfair rules will deprive divorced women of their children, who in turn are deprived of their real mothers.
We should create special committees in our courts consisting of social affairs consultants and psychologists to study child custody cases, speed up the formation of family courts and merge cases involving alimony and child custody.
