Additional information on Israeli father ITAI DROR who murdered his 3 young children during visitation.
It's a very typical case. The motive, if you will, wasn't "mental illness" per se, but a desire to hurt/control the mother for divorcing him. Figures that Daddy is the one who gets all pissy even though HE was the one who had an affair with a married woman in an "open relationship" with her husband, and was with them "all the time." But then the girlfriend's hubby blackmails him and things got messy. Before you know it, Daddy's making melodramatic suicide threats/attempts (6 IN TOTAL) and even his (now ex) girlfriend accuses him of "unconsensual sex" and files a restraining order against him--which Daddy violates. Daddy is placed in a psychiatric hospital for 5 months.
Honestly? Daddy was the one who destroyed the marriage. The mother was simply putting a legal end to it. Not that it matters to freaking abusive idiots, who figure they have the right to do anything they want to other people anytime with no consequences.
And the shrinks and social workers thought a father with this history was safe around young children? Unbelievable stupidity and incompetence! Note that the shrink said he was "sane" and said he should have unsupervised visitation. The mother did not think this was wise (wisely!). But the social service/welfare people "pressured her" into going along with the plan, and THREATENED TO STRIP OF HER OF CUSTODY IF SHE DIDN'T LET THE KIDS SEE THEIR FATHER. This is where father exaltation has taken us, folks. Any father--no matter what his history--must have his rights. And everybody else's rights are trampled into the dirt.
Note that Daddy made a very perfunctory suicide attempt after the murders (which took place on his ex-wife's birthday), and carefully left two letters behind outlining his psychiatric history. Yup, the guy may be crazy, but he's not insane. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Wife's family says murders were revenge for her decision to divorce
Lover and her husband blackmailed suspect for NIS 100,000, relatives claim.
By Yaniv Kubovich
"My precious ones, I am going out to celebrate my birthday with friends. Tomorrow morning we will celebrate with the entire family," was how Lilach Ben Dror said goodbye to her children Omer, 10, Roni, 8, and Or, 5. Several hours later their father, Itai Ben Dror, 38, allegedly murdered them in their beds.
Lilach's family is certain that the murders were revenge for her decision to divorce Itai a year ago. Itai, adopted by a family at Kibbutz Yiron in the north, was born to parents from Russia but grew up at the kibbutz. He met Lilach 13 years ago and the two married, living in Kfar Yona, where they started a family.
Forensic officers at the scene of the murder in Netanya, July 25, 2010
In 2000 their son Omer was born, to be followed by Roni and Or. Members of Lilach's family said yesterday it was a loving family like all others.
"He was a great father to his children," Lilach's nephew said.
"He never forgot birthdays, neither of his children nor of Lilach. Personally, I was in daily touch with him until the divorce. We used to ride bikes together, which was his hobby. Every vacation we would travel with the children on trips. Even now, when I remember that time, there was no hint of what was to happen."
Itai bought a truck and started a moving company. Lilach worked as a clerk in a company and the children lived in a home where nothing was lacking. The change came in late 2008.
Itai had an affair with a married family friend who lived in the community. Only after several months did Lilach begin to sense that something had changed. In addition, the family had financial problems.
One evening Itai told her about the affair, and Lilach asked him to leave the house. She insisted that he leave, so he moved to a small apartment in Netanya but remained in a romantic affair with the other woman.
"They lived like on a commune," Lilach's aunt said. "He was with his lover and her husband in the apartment all the time. They lived with the illusion that everything was acceptable, and they tried to create conditions of an open relationship. But in the end it blew up in his face."
Lilach's family says the financial crisis happened in part because Itai's lover and her husband blackmailed him for NIS 100,000; otherwise they would tell Lilach about the affair.
'I want to die'
Several weeks after Lilach threw Itai out, his lover asked him to stop coming over and to cease all contact.
"We were his greenhouse, giving him a loving family and attention that he never had," said Lilach's uncle. "Suddenly he was once more alone and that same sad, adopted boy, without parents, found himself without family once again. It was not easy."
Itai became increasingly distraught and began to behave erratically.
A month after the divorce he went to Lilach's home in Kfar Yona, where she had moved with the children. He showed her cuts on his wrists. "This is where you have led me," he told her. "I want to die. Because of you I will kill myself."
Lilach called the police and informed the welfare services about the incident. The police opened a file on Itai; his lover also called the authorities.
The lover also filed a complaint against Itai for nonconsensual sex, and the court issued a restraining order against him. He violated the order and another case was opened against him.
Itai said that in the five months since the divorce he tried to kill himself six times. At that point he decided to enter a psychiatric hospital for treatment, where he was kept for five months.
Pressure from the welfare authorities
Two months ago he was released, with a doctor's assessment that he was sane and could be allowed to take his children to his home on unaccompanied visits. Initially Lilach refused to allow this, so he turned to the welfare authorities.
Lilach's family says the welfare authorities pressured her to allow him to see the children.
"Welfare is responsible for what happened to these children," said Dalia Siboni, Lilach's sister. "Every time she would go to them they would threaten her that if she did not allow him to take the children they would take them from her. She feared that he would do something to them; we knew he was an animal. She was willing to allow the children to visit him with supervision. The writing for this murder was on the wall."
On a number of occasions the children spent time with their father and said they enjoyed themselves very much and were eager to spend time with him.
On their way to Lilach's home to celebrate her 37th birthday, her family says they received a call from Itai's brother: "Dalia, he murdered the children." The sister collapsed and the family gathered at the home of Lilach's mother, who had died a month ago.
This police say initial evidence shows that Itai planned the murder as an act of revenge. After the murder he cut his wrists once more in an ostensible suicide attempt.
He left behind two letters; in both he mentions that he is taking psychiatric medication, suggesting that he is insane.
The family rejects this. "What do you want to know? This is a murderer who murdered three beautiful, magnificent children," Lilach's sister said. "He planned it all, he is crazy but sane. He should be in prison. He planned this all on her birthday."

Dad strangles to death young sons, ages 1 and 7 (Montreal, Canada)
Little detail here. Police say UNNAMED DAD strangled to death his young sons, ages 1 and 7, before offing himself. The murders took place over the weekend while Mom was "staying elsewhere." Is this a visitation situation? Possibly. But the media seems reluctant to call it out as one.

Double-murder suicide leaves man, two young sons dead
July 25, 2010
MONTREAL - Montreal police say a 72-year-old man killed his two young sons, ages one and seven, before taking his own life this weekend.
Calling the horrific crime a double-murder suicide, police said Saturday that the two boys died of ``strangulation, most likely.'' The man also died of strangulation, said Const. Yannick Ouimet.
The boys' 33-year-old mother, who was staying elsewhere Friday night, came to the apartment in the city's southwest just after 1 a.m. and found the bodies. A 911 call was placed at 1:45 a.m. local time.
Screaming and in tears, the woman was later seen being escorted from the apartment building, supported by a police officer and ambulance technician. She was treated at hospital for shock, authorities said.
``The mother showed up and everything had already taken place. The bodies were dead on the spot. She couldn't do anything to save them,'' said Ouimet.
Investigators were expected to be at the scene for several hours Saturday.
Police did not reveal the motive for the crime.

Dad murders 3 children during unsupervised visitation; social workers said he was "sensitive" and "not a threat" (Kfar Yona, Israel)
You see this this crap all the time. Social workers, shrinks, and various court whores who fail to detect truly dangerous people. To these people, the safety of children is strictly a secondary (or non-existent) concern, especially when it comes to upholding the rights of the father. And when it comes clear that they the court whores screwed up, and that children got seriously hurt or killed because of the authorities' incompetence and stupidity, they exempt themselves from responsibility--and so do the authorities higher up. Frankly, I think your average grandmother, bartender, or beautician has more sense than these people.
Dad BEN DROR had a history of repeated suicide attempts, which suggests he had problems with severe depression and/or other psychiatric illnesses. He had been hospitalized at least once. But everybody thought his supervised visitations with his three young children just went along swimmingly. The nitwit social workers and shrinks found him "sensitive" and "responsive" and "fun"--i.e. "not a threat." So they recommended him for unsupervised visitation. What happens next? The sh** murders his three kids--that's how "sensitive" and "fun" he REALLY was.
So then the excuse making begins. The welfare workers defend their "professionalism" (?) and so does the Social Affairs Ministry.
Unfortunately, this botched up disaster isn't unique. We've seen the same failures repeatedly in the U.S. and elsewhere. For additional background on the problem, read here:

Social workers who okayed custody visits say Ben Dror was 'sensitive father'
Welfare workers in Kfar Yona on Sunday defended their professional decisions and conduct regarding the Ben Dror family.
By Dana Weiler-Polak
Welfare workers in Kfar Yona on Sunday defended their professional decisions and conduct regarding the Ben Dror family, despite being accused by some of sharing responsibility for the murder Saturday of the family's three young children allegedly by their father, Itai Ben Dror. An initial inquiry by the Social Affairs Ministry supports the workers' claims.
The Ben Drors came under the care of the welfare department in Kfar Yona last October, when their marriage fell apart. The couple decided that after their divorce their children would remain with Lilach, the mother, and they worked out their own visitation schedule.
The visits stopped earlier this year when the father was admitted to the Lev Hasharon Psychiatric Hospital in Pardesiya, in the wake of repeated suicide attempts. The visits resumed in April, after his release, but on Lilach's request they were held at the welfare department's visitation center, under supervision.
Before giving their approval, welfare officials in Kfar Yona conducted various checks on Itai's condition, including obtaining a psychiatric evaluation from Lev Hasharon stating that he did not pose a threat to himself or his surroundings and even recommended the renewal of visits with his children.
The weekly meetings continued for about three months. Nurit Barkan, one of the social workers who worked with the family, said the staff saw nothing that might have indicated that something was out of the ordinary.
"Just the opposite, the children loved him very much. He was a responsive, sensitive father," she recalled Sunday, adding that there was "something fun" about his behavior with his children.
"They played a lot of soccer outside, and when they played with games whose purpose was to provide a homey feeling that feeling was definitely there. They obviously looked forward to their meetings and when they came they immediately ran to him and began telling him about their week, hugging and kissing him," Barkan said.
Eventually Lilach allowed the children to meet with their father outside the visitation center, and in June a farewell party was held at the center. "If the mother herself gave the children the assurance that they could be with their father, and everyone agreed with her, based also on information from various places, then there was no reason not to leave the center" for the visits, explained Albert Mor, director of welfare services in Kfar Yona.
After an initial investigation into the conduct of the local welfare agency the Social Affairs Ministry issued a statement in which it said the department "acted with professionalism and all along the way it it obtained evaluations from medical authorities in the psychiatric field."

A Pooler man has been indicted on charges he abused his 7-week-old son, inflicting injuries described by police as life-threatening.
John McNeal, 25, faces counts of aggravated battery and cruelty to children, according to Pooler police Maj. Mark Revenew.
In June, the police were notified of the infant's condition by doctors at Memorial University Medical Center, Revenew said.
"It was determined the injuries were more than likely inflicted," Revenew said, explaining that police started interviewing family members. "We identified (McNeal) as the suspect, and he was cooperative. He was arrested, charged and ultimately indicted."
A Chatham County grand jury indicted McNeal, of Osprey Point Circle, on Wednesday, police said.
"The child has made some improvements toward recovery," Revenew said. "Everybody's cautiously optimistic."

Custodial dad, roommate charged with sodomizing son (Bushnell, Florida)
Does somebody want to explain to me how or why a marijuana-growing, sexual abusive father living with a male "roommate" (boyfriend?) has custody of his two sons? And how did he get custody when he had a suspended drivers license for a previous failure to pay child support?
Dad CHARLES COLEMAN has been charged with sexual battery, cultivation of marijuana, and driving with a suspended or revoked license. Both Daddy and the roommate are charged with sodomizing the 10-year-old son. The roommate is also charged with having oral sex on the 7-year-old son.
Mom got to find out about the abuse during her visitation time, after her son told her about it. How sweet. Think she'll get custody back now? Who knows? This is Florida, man.

Father, roommate charged with sodomizing son
BRAD BUCK
Staff Writer
BUSHNELL -- A father and the man who lives with him and his children are charged with sodomizing the father's 10-year-old son, Sumter County sheriff's officials said.
Charles Coleman, 33, of Bushnell, was arrested Wednesday and charged with sexual battery on a person less than 12, cultivation of marijuana and driving with a suspended or revoked license, said Lt. Kevin Hofecker.
A man who lived with Coleman and his children, Anthony Shelt, 44, was also charged with two counts of sexual battery on a person less than 12 and one county of cultivation of marijuana, detectives said Thursday. The second sexual battery count against Shelt stems from allegedly having oral sex on Coleman's 7-year-old son, deputies said.
While visiting his mother in Citrus County, the 10-year-old son told her about the sexual assaults, detectives said. The incidents were reported to Citrus County sheriff's investigators on July 15, then referred to Sumter County detectives the next day, Hofecker said.
Investigators interviewed the boy at Jessie's Place, a child advocacy center in Citrus County. The boy detailed being sodomized by this father at least once at their Bushnell home, Hofecker said.
Detectives found Coleman driving on County Road 575. They discovered his driver's license was suspended for failing to pay child support. Then, at Coleman's home, investigators found a 5-foot-tall marijuana plant growing on the front porch. They arrested Coleman at home and Shelt nearby.
In an interview later with investigators, Coleman admitted to sodomizing his son, Hofecker said. Both he and Shelt are being held at the Sumter County jail without bond.
The Sumter County Sheriff's Office victim advocate is coordinating serves being provided to the alleged victim and his family, Hofecker said.

Custodial dad who attacked daughter, murdered 3-month-old baby: more details released (Lehigh, Florida)
We reported extensively on this case back in May. What is not mentioned here is that dad MANUEL ROSALES obtained custody of his daughter when she was a teen, then proceeded to sexually abuse her. It is likely that the daughter's oldest child was fathered by--her father. The daughter had tried to break free from her father, but was frustrated by problems in getting orders of protection and/or getting the authorities to prosecute when she was assaulted.
