Dad JAMES HORTON was babysitting while Mom was visiting friends. Then this "loving" daddy "lost his temper" and broke the arm of his infant daughter. Then it came out, uh, that the baby also had healing rib fractures, which suggested this wasn't the first time Daddy had battered the baby. So Daddy now has "supervised contact" and the baby is in foster care. It's not clear here why the mother no longer has custody of the baby. But it's not uncommon for mothers to be punished for the sins of the father, whether she knew about the abuse or not, or whether she was even around at the time of the abuse or not. By contrast, when abusive or neglectful mothers are prosecuted, absent fathers are virtually never mentioned. It's just assumed they aren't responsible for the actions of the mothers.

Dad James Horton avoids jail for battering baby
by Keith Hunt
A young dad who lost his temper and broke his baby daughter’s arm was told he had has escaped a jail sentence by the skin of his teeth.
James Horton was sentenced on the basis he was a loving father who had a momentary lapse of control.
He was not being punished, said a judge, for several older fractures baby Scarlet was found to have to her ribs.
The 27-year-old former Maidstone schoolboy, of St Theresa’s Close, Ashford, was given a suspended sentence of just under a year with 250 hours unpaid work and two years supervision.
Horton denied cruelty to a person under 16, causing grievous bodily harm with intent and a lesser offence of inflicting grievous bodily harm.
He was convicted in November of inflicting grievous bodily harm by an 11-1 majority and cleared of the other charges.
Maidstone Crown Court heard the child was just three months old when she was taken to the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford on March 30 2010.
He had been looking after Scarlet while her mother was visiting friends.
He later claimed the injury to the child’s upper left arm may have been caused by her getting tangled up in the bars of her cot.
Horton, who left Swadelands School in Lenham with six GCSEs before working on the railway, denied he had harmed his daughter in any way.
Asked if it was true he had assaulted and mistreated Scarlet, he replied: "No, of course it isn’t. I loved her."
Judge David Griffith-Jones QC said he made it clear that while it was a disturbing feature she was found to have historic injuries, he was being sentenced on the basis it was a single offence and he did not intend to cause serious injury.
"I sentence you on the basis the injury was the result of a sudden and momentary loss of control on your part," he said.
"Plainly, she was vulnerable. At the material time she was in your care and wholly dependent upon you."
The child, now in foster care with Horton having supervised contact, had recovered, he added, with no ongoing complications.

"Good" dad charged with assaulting 3-month-old daughter; baby has broken ribs (Trenton, New Jersey)
The "good" dad is identified as JOHN TETI. Of course, you have the usual folks insisting he's really a great guy, even though it doesn't appear there are any other suspects in this case. That's often referred to as Denial. Is there a mother in this home? Sure doesn't sound like it, as there is no mention of one.

Upper Township father, 24, charged with assault after hospital workers discover baby's broken ribs
By MICHAEL MILLER Staff Writer
AtlanticCity.com
UPPER TOWNSHIP — Police charged a father of two children with aggravated assault with serious bodily injury after he allegedly fractured the ribs of his 3-month-old daughter.
State Police in Trenton said John Teti, 24, of the township’s Petersburg section, was arrested and charged Monday with assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
The family took the child to Shore Medical Center in Somers Point on Sunday for treatment of a respiratory illness when doctors discovered at least six and as many as eight fractured ribs, some of which were in the process of healing, State Police spokesman Sgt. Brian Polite said.
“The injuries are believed to be from multiple incidents,” Polite said.
The New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services alerted police about the child’s injuries.
Police allege that Teti caused the infant’s injuries. He was in the Cape May County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of $60,000 cash bail.
Teti’s family said they were in disbelief at the criminal charges.
“I don’t want anyone to rush to judgment,” said Teti’s father, John Teti. “He’s not capable of this. I should know. I raised him.”
The elder Teti said his son, a graduate of Ocean City High School, worked as a shift manager at a local convenience store. He served in the U.S. Air Force after high school.
“He loves his children. Everyone who knows him knows he wouldn’t hurt his children,” Teti said. “The facts will come out. Everybody is shocked. He’s a good man and a good father.”
State Police said the infant was being treated Monday at Shore Medical Center.
No additional information was available Tuesday.

MEMPHIS, TN-
(WMC-TV) – A Covington father is out of jail after he confessed to investigators that he put his own baby in the hospital.
The five-month-old baby is recovering at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. Doctors are running tests to determine the extent of her injuries while investigators try to learn more about what happened to her.
Robert Daniel Brasch, 23, of Ripley, TN, is charged with aggravated child abuse after he told authorities he shook his daughter because she would not stop crying.
"He's the biological father," said Donna Turner, of the Tipton County Sheriff's Office. "The mother was away. That was not uncommon for the biological father to baby sit the child."
Investigators said Brasch told the child's mother the infant had fallen off the couch while he was caring for the child.
"When the mother got home, she noticed the child was acting differently," Turner said.
The mother took the child to a hospital in Covington and then the baby girl was then airlifted to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital.
Doctors there determined the child's injuries were not consistent with a simple fall from a couch.
Authorities said Brasch later confessed to shaking the infant.
"For anyone to be injured, especially a child at this tender age and the injuries you historically see in these types of cases can result in permanent damage that can affect the child, obviously for the rest of her life," Turner said.
Brasch is out of jail on $5,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Tipton County General Sessions Court on February 14.
Investigators are not releasing the baby's condition at this time.

Suspect sent to trial for infant son’s death

The Tribune-Democrat Tue Jan 24, 2012, 11:42 PM EST
SALIX — The father of a South Fork infant admitted to police that he broke the boy’s legs and shook him so violently that he became unresponsive and later died, a Cambria County detective testified Tuesday.
Detective Kevin Price was one of three witnesses to testify in a preliminary hearing for 23-year-old Justin Michael Charles Sr., who is charged with criminal homicide.
Seven-week-old Justin Charles Jr. died Dec. 23 at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. The boy was declared brain dead and was removed from life support, said Dr. Janet Squires, head of a child-advocacy program at Children’s Hospital, paramedic Chad Stiffey said.
“From the moment the baby arrived, there was essentially no hope the child would live,” Squires said in testimony via telephone.
The infant was suffering from multiple leg fractures, retinal hemorrhaging and subdural hematoma. The boy’s injuries indicated child abuse, Squires testified.
District Judge Rick Varner ordered Charles to county court to face trial. In addition to criminal homicide, he also is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.
Charles was returned to Cambria County Prison, where he is being held without bond.

Hearing looks into dad's role in death of 4-month-old son (Stockton, California)

Hearing looks into dad's role in infant's death
By Jennie Rodriguez-Moore
Record Staff Writer
January 25, 2012 12:00 AM
STOCKTON - An infant unexpectedly dies under his father's watch.
The child's medical history shows the 4-month-old had been plagued by sicknesses, including a bout of pneumonia around the time of death.
But physicians' opinions indicate a more sinister cause of death.
Donald Wilson, 23, is accused of killing his son, and doctors said the baby had sustained brain damage likely caused by shaking or an impact.
A preliminary hearing began Tuesday for Wilson, who is charged with child abuse resulting in death. He could face life in prison if convicted.
Brandon is the second child fatality of 2011 reported by San Joaquin County Child Protective Services.
The other was a 3-year-old named Noah Morgan, whose stepfather, Joe Anthony Correia of Escalon, has been charged with the death.
According to courtroom testimony, Donald Wilson called for emergency help Aug. 1, when Brandon stopped breathing in a choking episode. The father had been watching the baby that day while the mother worked.
The following day, the baby was transported out of San Joaquin General Hospital to a children's intensive care facility.
Brandon was comatose and was placed on a ventilator, said Dr. Angela Rosas, a pediatric specialist in child abuse and neglect with Sacramento-based Sutter Medical Group. He was completely unresponsive, Rosas said.
Doctors ran a battery of tests on Brandon and then determined he had bleeding in the brain and had sustained abusive head trauma.
San Joaquin County medical examiners concluded the cause of death to be diffused axonal injury, which indicates the damage spread throughout the brain.
Donald Wilson's lawyer, Pittsburg defense attorney Carin Johnson, raises the question whether Brandon's death was caused by ongoing illness.
San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Humphreys is presiding over the preliminary hearing, expected to last more than two days, and will decide whether there is enough evidence to send Donald Wilson to trial.

Dad beat sons with golf clubs because he wanted them to be the "next Tiger Woods" (Burnley, England)

Father beat golfing sons with clubs because he wanted them to be 'next Tiger woods'
A golf-obsessed father who wanted his young sons to be "the next Tiger Woods" beat them with clubs when they fluffed their shots, a court heard.
25 Jan 2012
The 33-year-old dreamed his two boys aged six and eight would both become world champions and would give the children golf tuition at home before school every day and then later at his local golf club or in nearby fields.
But whenever the youngsters played poorly at the driving range, mis-hit a tee shot, missed a putt, or went into the bunker, their pushy father would fly into a rage and beat then with a golf club, Burnley Crown Court was told.
On one occasions he even sank his teeth into and pinched the skin of the youngsters.
Despite the elder child winning a junior golf tournament, he was beaten about the leg with a golf iron when he played a bad shot and also had a ball hurled at him from feet away, gashing and bruising his ear.
The younger child, who was struck in the knee with a ball, was left with multiple injuries, including a scratched eye.
The father from Burnley, Lancs, was arrested after the six year old turned up at school with a mark to his face and distressed and a teacher asked him what had happened.
When police spoke to the boys the children told them they enjoyed golf and said it was ''their job.'' The six year old declared: "We are going to be championship golfers when we get older."
The father's wife was said to be unaware of the pain he was inflicting on their sons, even though the trio had golf lessons in the living room every morning, before school.
She was upset and sobbed when she found out and he had to leave the family home. He is now only allowed contact with his sons by the local authority.
The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, admitted two counts of assault causing actual bodily harm and one of common assault, in June last year. He was given 52 weeks in jail, suspended for two years, with 12 months supervision.
Sarah Statham, prosecuting, said the dad gave his sons golf tuition before and after school every day and if they did not play well, they would be assaulted.
After the six year old went to school injured last June 10 and told his teacher his father had pinched his eye as they played golf that morning, the authorities became involved. Both boys were taken for medical attention and were interviewed by the police.
Miss Statham said the six year old told officers his father had also grabbed his leg in a " clawing action" and he had been hurt and upset.
The eight year old was struck in the knee with a golf club and his ear was cut after his father threw a golf ball at him, from about four feet away.
A paediatrician who examined the boy found several other injuries to the ear. The six year old had pinching injuries on both hands and his thigh, his face and the top of his scalp were scratched and he was bruised.
Miss Statham said the defendant was arrested and interviewed last June 11 and made out a lot of the injuries were accidental.
In mitigation defence lawyer Miss Carolyn Smith, for the dad, said he was ordinarily very much a family man, who lived for his wife and children.
He had been separated from his family since the offences after the involvement of child protection agencies and that had served as significant punishment already, before the punishment he would receive in court.
The barrister said :" They are clearly serious offences and he does now acknowledge that." She continued :" He had an almost obsessive desire for his sons to become championship golf players."
Miss Smith said the defendant had a "loving relationship" with his sons and had been having contact with them. She continued:"To deny the defendant his liberty at this stage would mean the children would be denied contact with their father."
Sentencing, Judge Beverley Lunt told the defendant his actions must have hurt the children considerably and said it was "beyond belief" that as their father, he had assaulted his children over golf shots.
She added :"This is child cruelty. It's inexcusable and I do not believe any right thinking person could make any sense of it whatsoever. If you permit your obsession with golf to overcome you again and lay a finger on either of them you will immediately come back before me and I will send you to prison."
