Seriously? So Again we will have 'silly dad'  et MEDIA and Lawyers  covering for this kind of  behavior.  Fatherhood Exaltation. Hence more fatherhood funding for more classes to teach daddies how to not kill. Typically is how these cases go. When will we learn that this is NOT appropriate behavior and that we can NOT teach these dads to be moms? 

And the Mother has been conditioned appropriately SHARED CUSTODY to defend the father as also in most these case after DADDY does antics like this. Mother is usually blamed and Father gains full custody. 


Dad jailed when photo of baby and gun was posted to Facebook

COLERAIN TWP, Ohio (WCPO) - Ashley Price hoped her weekend would be peaceful and quiet.
It didn't turn out that way.
The Wyoming teenager dropped off her infant daughter, Paradise, at the home of his father, Domonic Gaines, in Colerain Township, Ohio.

Hours later, she was shocked to learn that he'd been arrested and charged with child endangering.The Colerain Township police report said Gaines posted a photo on Facebook of himself holding the child and a revolver BB gun. It's since been taken down.

"The close proximity of the BB gun to the child created a substantial risk of physical harm and safety of the child," the affidavit in the case read.

Gaines was arraigned Monday morning in Hamilton County Municipal Court and was released from the Hamilton County Justice Center Monday afternoon after posting 10 percent of his $2,000 bond.

"Get out of my face, bro," he told WCPO's Tom McKee as he left the Justice Center with Price, his brother and other friends.

Price said Monday she hasn't seen the picture, but the whole thing was a joke. It's now up to the courts to decide if it's a laughing matter.

"What happened was my baby's father, Domonic, took a picture of my daughter and him sitting down with a BB gun and my mother, Sylvia Price, called the news and called the police saying my daughter was in danger, but she wasn't," Price said. "The gun was fake. It was a BB gun. It wasn't loaded or nothing. My daughter was in no kind of danger whatsoever and it got turned into something it wasn't supposed to be."

Upon hearing of Gaines' arrest, Price admitted she was angry.

"Anybody would be mad," she said. "Your daughter around a gun? I don't care if it's real or fake or not. Anybody would be mad."

Media attorney Monica Dias of Frost Brown Todd said it's not a crime to post a photo to Facebook, but it might pose problems for the person who uploads it and/or the people in the picture.

"If a photo ends up being evidence in a criminal case, you can expect to see that photo used against you as evidence of a crime," she said.

Dias said as more people use social media, they often forget to be careful.

"People are so quick to post things on Facebook or YouTube because there's this aspect of 'I want to communicate with as many people as I can in real time and show them what I'm doing this very minute,'" she added. "In a way, that has broken down our filters -- our self-restraint filters -- where we don't always think before we post and it can land you in hot water."

"Be cautious" is the advice Dias gives to clients.

"Think before you post," she said. "It's just common sense."

Price said that's a lesson Gaines won't likely forget.

"He'll learn his own mistakes," she said. "I guess he won't do it no more."

VANISHING MOTHER ALERT- Again there is no mention of this Custodial Father of two. Why Did He Have Custody? Where is Mother? Why is Mother still not allowed to have Custody of her children?

http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2013/01/30/prison-term-after-telford-father-admits-child-porn-charges/

A father-of-two from Shropshire has been jailed for 10 months after making nearly 50,000 indecent child images, many in the most graphic category.

Adrian Pearce, of Hopkins Heath, Shawbirch, Telford, appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court for sentencing after admitting 10 charges of making around 48,760 images.

The court heard he had kept his obsession a ‘dark secret’ for more than a decade.

The court heard the 63-year-old had collected the images from the internet over a 10 to 15 year period.

Pearce admitted making about 47,290 photos and 380 videos at level one, the least graphic. He also admitted making about 40 photographs and five videos at level five, depicting the most graphic abuse.

Mr Robert James Edwards, prosecuting, said police were acting on intelligence when they carried out a search warrant at his property in September 2011. He told the court Pearce was later arrested and confessed to police he had been collecting indecent images for about 10 to 15 years.

Mr Dean Easthope, for Pearce, said his client had become obsessed with the images. He said: “He has distorted thinking. He became a recluse.”

Judge Robin Onions told Pearce: “On the outside you were a well-respected working man. But you kept a dark secret.”

Pearce was also barred from working with children for life.
