Denny Pantoja charged after son accidentally shoots himself with his illegal gun

Published: February 24, 2013 1:14 PM

MOTT HAVEN - A Bronx father has been charged after his young son accidentally shot himself at their Mott Haven apartment.

Denny Pantoja, 33, has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon and endangering his child. His 5-year-old son was injured when he shot himself in the shoulder while playing with Pantoja's illegal gun.

The boy remains in stable condition at Lincoln Hospital.

Previous accounts have made it clear that UNNAMED DAD was custodial, and that the wife is a step. Notice that this is no longer made clear....maybe because it's politically incorrect? And we don't want raise "unnecessary" questions about how this POS got custody, or who gave it to him. Do we?

MADISON — A trial is set to begin this week for a Madison man accused of starving and torturing his teenage daughter.

The man and his wife are accused of locking the girl in the basement and denying her food until she wasted away to 68 pounds. They each face six felonies, including child abuse and neglect. The girl’s stepbrother has been accused of sexually assaulting her.

The Associated Press isn’t naming any of the defendants to protect the girl’s identity.

The father’s trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Monday.

Father forces kids to eat faeces

Rasbert Turner, Star Writer

A St Catherine man who is accused of forcing his children to eat faeces is now in police custody, charged with cruelty to children.

The incident occurred in the parish last Thursday, police told THE STAR.

Reports are that last Wednesday night, the man was at home with the children, ages 7, 9 and 12 years. Police said one of the children wanted to defecate but was afraid to go outside and use the pit latrine.

The child reportedly defecated in a closet and left it there.

Police said the following day the faeces was reportedly found by the father who inquired of the children who had carried out such an act. All the children denied it.

The man, the police said, became angry and reportedly forced all three to eat the mess.

Residents became aware of the incident and contacted the police.

Following investigations, the children were given medical examinations. Further investigations resulted in the arrest of the father.

Richland Hills father indicted on charge of carving pentagram on son's back

Posted Monday, Feb. 25, 20135

By Domingo Ramirez Jr.

FORT WORTH -- A Tarrant County grand jury has indicted a Richland Hills father on a charge that he carved a pentagram on the back of his young son with a box cutter.

Jurors returned the indictment last week against Brent Troy Bartel, 39, who remained in Tarrant County Jail Monday with bail set at $500,000.

The indictment charged Bartel with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

If convicted, Bartel faces a maximum of 20 years in prison. Bartel was arrested Dec. 12 at his home in the 3700 block of Ruth Road in Richland Hills after he called 911 and told a dispatcher that "I shed some innocent blood."

When asked why he did it, Bartel said because "it's a holy day," according to the 911 recording. When officers arrived, police found Bartel and his son -- wearing only pajama bottoms -- in the home. Police found that a pentagram had been carved on the back of a boy who was later identified as Bartel's son.

The child was taken to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth where he was treated and released a few hours after the attack.

Investigators also believe that Bartel got some of his son's blood and smeared the door frame of the family's home in the 3700 block of Ruth Road in Richland Hills.

The boy's mother had fled to a neighbor's home where she had that neighbor call 911.

Bartel's mother, Lori Ponce, told the Star-Telegram in a December interview that her son had no history of mental illness, but he had been under tremendous stress because of marital and financial problems.

Of course, no one asks the most natural question of all: Why wasn't this 2-year-old girl at home with her mother instead of out "carousing" with Daddy?

Man who allegedly left child in truck at strip club faces court date
February 25, 2013 | 1:12pm

A father accused of leaving his 2-year-old daughter in a pickup truck while he drank inside a Van Nuys strip club is awaiting a March court date after his release from jail over the weekend.

Santos Barillas, 24, of Canoga Park was arrested on suspicion of child endangerment and other charges shortly after midnight on Saturday, KTLA reported. He was held on $15,000 bail, but online jail records indicated he was released Saturday afternoon.

Barillas had not yet been charged as of Monday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Online jail records showed he was scheduled to appear in court March 20.

Police were called to the 7557 Club on Woodley Avenue after 911 dispatchers got a call that the toddler was locked in a truck parked outside, KTLA reported. There, officers found Barillas asleep at the wheel, with the girl in the back seat.

Barillas was taken into custody and representatives of the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services were called to assist with the care of the child, officials said.

Investigators interviewed several bar patrons and workers who confirmed the man was inside the club without the child, police said. The suspect was allegedly intoxicated at the time of his arrest, officials said.

Officials said the temperature in the truck was about 45 degrees.

Boy, 4, kills himself with father's stolen gun

POSTED: 38 mins

HOUSTON (AP) - A suspected drug dealer has been arrested for the death of his 4-year-old son who Houston authorities say picked up his father's gun and shot himself.

Police determined the gun had been stolen in a burglary two years ago.

Twenty-year-old Marquiez Deshon Pratt is being held Monday under $50,000 bond on charges of injury to a child by omission and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. A court appearance is set for Tuesday.

Investigators said Pratt was asleep Sunday when his son, Jaiden, picked up the .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol that was nearby and shot himself in the stomach.

Pratt was outside his apartment when police arrived, handed the boy to officers and ran back inside. Police who chased him found marijuana, crack cocaine, scales and other items.

Police: Dad who "drank too much" falls with baby in arms, killing her

By Manuel Gamiz Jr., Of The Morning Call
2:44 p.m. EST, February 25, 2013

A heavily intoxicated man fell on top of his 2-month-old baby girl early Sunday in Montgomery County, then put her in her baby swing to sleep where she later died, authorities said.

Edward J. Doyle, 28, of Upper Moreland Township, was charged Monday with child endangerment and was sent to Montgomery County Correctional Facility on $1 million bail.

According to a criminal complaint:

Upper Moreland Township police were dispatched at 9:33 a.m. to an apartment in the 2500 block of Horsham Road to investigate an unresponsive 2-month-old baby. The baby was located on the bed in the master bedroom and had red swelling on her forehead and bruises and cuts to the bridge of her nose. She was taken to the hospital, but was pronounced dead.

Police spoke to the baby's parents, Doyle and Nicole Lavelle, 30. The two have two daughters, one 15-months old and the other 2-months old.

Doyle told police he came home from work at 11 p.m. Saturday and went to the America Legion to celebrate a friend's birthday. He said he had about six beers and came home around 2:45 a.m. or 3 a.m., playing cards with friends when he returned. He said his wife went next door to get a DVD and he made something to eat, turned off the lights and fell asleep in the living room.

He said his daughter was on the swing set in the living room. He said when he woke up, he found her "white as a ghost" and limp and called police.

He later changed his story, telling police after returning from the American Legion, he and his wife went to their neighbor's apartment where they got into an argument about their tax return and finances. He said he returned home and the baby was crying in her baby swing.

He said he removed her from the swing and cradled her in his arms, but he tripped on the swing set and he fell on top of the baby. He said he checked to see if the baby was still breathing and put her back in the swing. He said he checked on her again at 7:15 a.m. and gave her a "binky." He said he believed she grabbed the pacifier, but he was groggy, so he wasn't sure.

Doyle said he called 911 when he found her unresponsive. Doyle told a detective he shouldn't have been caring for the baby since he "drank too much."

There is no mention of a mother in this home at all. Was there one?

Police: Baby, 5 months, treated for critical head injuries, father charged

Posted: Feb 25, 2013 10:28 AM EST Updated: Feb 25, 2013 3:46 PM EST

HANAHAN, S.C. (WCIV) -- According to Hanahan Police, an infant was taken to Medical University Hospital with head injuries and now his father is facing charges.

The father, 23-year-old Derek Allan Stilson, is charged with infliction of great bodily injury upon a child.

Police said on Thursday, Feb. 21, Stilson's 5-month-old son was transported to MUSC on Thursday evening by EMS and found to have a skull fracture as well as bleeding and swelling on the brain.

According to the affidavit, Stilson is accused of throwing the baby down on the floor "in anger" because he was crying.

The affidavit also states the boy was injured on Feb. 19 but wasn't taken to MUSC until two days later when the father noticed the child "was not acting normal." The affidavit says the infant suffered "a right skull fracture, bleeding behind the retinas as well as bleeding on the brain."

Stilson was given a $250,000 Surety bond on Saturday and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Police report the child remains in critical condition at MUSC and has been placed in protective custody.

Notice that through all of this, there is no mention of a mother--or stepmother--in the home when all of this was taking place. Was there an adult woman living with this pedophile? Or is this a single dad?

Enfield father found guilty of raping stepdaughter and sexually abusing daughter in the 1980s 4:26pm Friday 22nd February 2013

By Hermione Wright.

A father has been found guilty today of sexually abusing his daughter and raping his stepdaughter in Edmonton in the 1980s.

Members of the jury were unanimous in convicting the Enfield man of all nine counts of sexual abuse and rape against the girls, who were both under 13 at the time of the abuse.

The man’s wife - who is not the mother of the victims - ran out of court in tears once she heard the jury call out the guilty verdicts following his week-long trial at Wood Green Crown Court in Lordship Lane.

He remained silent as he was led from the dock minutes after the guilty verdicts were read to the court.

Despite protesting his innocence, the paedophile was found guilty of two counts of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13, one count of rape, two counts of indecency with a child and four counts of indecently assaulting a woman.

He had sex with his stepdaughter when his younger daughter was watching television in the same room.

The court heard testimonies from his daughter and stepdaughter, who said he started molesting his stepdaughter as soon as she hit puberty.

When she escaped to live with relatives, the paedophile started to sexually abuse his own daughter in their family home.

His stepdaughter reported the suspect in November 2011, and his daughter also agreed to testify against him during the trial, which started on Monday.

Although no attempt was made for bail, Judge Rosa Dean ordered the criminal to be remanded in custody as there were “substantial grounds” to believe he would fail to attend his sentencing now he has been found guilty.

Because he is a convicted paedophile, she also said bail would not be appropriate due to the risk of him committing further offences.

The man cannot be named to protect the anonymity of his victims.

Judge Dean told the criminal to expect a “very lengthy” custodial sentence when he reappears at the court on March 8.

She decided not to sentence him immediately to allow the victims a chance to attend.

The court heard the man was fined £150 last year for breaching a non-molestation order against a child and was also fined £150 for theft in 1981.

The man’s mother-in-law, who must remain anonymous to protect the victims, said she was “overjoyed” with the verdict reached by the jury.

His father-in-law said: “justice has been done for the victims”.

Previous news accounts mention that this meth head daddy had custody of this child, but refused to elaborate on how or why he got custody, or what officials granted him custody. Typical....

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) -- A 36-year-old man who was arrested after his son was found wandering outside a Coeur d'Alene bar is charged with injury to a child.

The Coeur d'Alene Press reports Jesse W. Edwards is scheduled to be arraigned on March 5. He is currently free after posting $300 bail.

Edwards was arrested at the Walmart in Hayden on Feb. 10 after his son was found wandering close to traffic. The boy was brought into a bar and employees called police.

The boy didn't know where his father was.

Edwards told an Idaho State Trooper he usually takes his son to his parents' house in Athol and he thought he had done so. Court records say Edwards also acknowledged ingesting methamphetamine within 48 hours of his arrest.

Portland father accused of violently shaking infant son

Reported by: Brent Weisberg

Published: 11:29 am

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A 22-year-old father is accused of violently shaking his infant son earlier this month.

Child abuse detectives with Multnomah County said Norman Brown Jr. faces assault charges after they learned he likely shook the child on Feb. 12, when the boy was taken to a local hospital. Portland police said Brown's seven-week-old son is expected to survive, but may suffer permanent partial vision loss.

Officials said the boy's parents called 911 to report their son acting differently. Paramedics responded to the family’s home in the 10300 block of North Allegheny Avenue and transported the child to a hospital. Doctors performed a CT scan which revealed the child had an old and new brain bleed.

Hospital staff told police that the child had extensive retinal hemorrhaging in both eyes. The CT scan also showed signs of a brain bleed from approximately one month earlier, Portland police said.

Detectives were alerted because doctors felt the injuries were consistent with abuse, court documents reveal. A doctor, speaking to detectives, said the injuries were consistent with a baby being shaken or receiving a forcible impact into a soft surface.

Brown admitted to shaking his son, court documents show. The child's mother also admitted to seeing Brown shake the baby in January.

Brown has been charged with first-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault and one count of first-degree criminal mischief. He will be arraigned in Multnomah County Court Friday afternoon.

Violent father lands 7-month-old baby in hospital

22 February 2013 /TODAY'S ZAMAN, İSTANBUL

A 7-month-old baby was taken to a hospital after she was beaten by her father during a fight with his wife in the Central Anatolian province of Yozgat on Thursday.

According to news reports, Osman G. and Münevver G., who got married two years ago, started quarreling for an unknown reason. During their fight Osman G. lost his temper and started to beat the baby, which was in his arms, and the baby fainted as a result of the severe slaps. The man also threw the baby to the ground.

After their fight the couple took the baby to the hospital. The baby was placed in an intensive care unit. Münevver G. filed a criminal complaint against her husband at a police station but Osman G. was released shortly thereafter. Münevver G. told reporters that she often suffered from domestic violence at the hands of her husband. “In the second month of our marriage my husband broke my nose. I can't understand why the police released him. I call on the family and social policy minister to help us,” said Münevver G.

Gender-based violence, which is among the serious problems many women face in Turkey, has doubled in four years, according to a parliamentary report released in March. The report, prepared by a sub-commission of the parliamentary Human Rights Commission, revealed that, according to gendarmerie and police statistics, Turkey witnessed 48,264 gender-based incidents of violence in 2008, 62,587 incidents in 2009, a total of 72,257 incidents in 2010 and 80,398 incidents in 2011. Therefore, between 2008 and 2011, Turkey saw a total of 263,506 cases of domestic abuse and violence against women.

Is UNNAMED DAD custodial? Or did this whack job merely have liberal visitation rights? I'm thinking he was custodial since the incident took place on a Monday night.

So who gave this control freak idiot custody? Someone who flips out over eyeliner? Who was the judge? Let's see names.

Hopefully, this poor girl will be able to stay with her mother from now on--but don't count on it. The FR people don't like mothers regaining custody....

Police: Murfreesboro father, girlfriend beat 13-year-old for using makeup

Feb. 21, 2013 3:21 PM, | Written by Mark Bell

MURFREESBORO — A Murfreesboro father and his girlfriend are charged with beating his daughter early Tuesday morning after the girlfriend confronted the 13-year-old over the use of her makeup.

Both the girlfriend and father were charged with child abuse Tuesday by Murfreesboro Police Detective Tommy Roberts, who investigated the case referred to him by the Department of Children’s Services.

The detective wrote in arrest reports that his investigation showed that “(The girlfriend) had been out drinking with some friends,” Monday night into Tuesday morning.

She came home shortly before 3 a.m. Tuesday to discover her eyeliner had been tampered with, and got into an altercation with her boyfriend, according to Roberts’ reports.

Both the girlfriend and father woke the girl up around 3 a.m. to confront her about using the makeup without permission.

“Investigation further showed that the girlfriend struck the victim in the face multiple times,” Roberts reported. “Investigation showed that ... the father of the victim, failed to protect his daughter and even participated in the abuse, causing injury to her arms and kicking her in the leg and buttocks.”

The Tennessean is not naming the suspects to protect the identity of the victim, who is a minor.

The girlfriend and father were interviewed by Roberts at MPD headquarters, while the victim was interviewed at a DCS facility.

Following his investigation, both were booked around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday into the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.

Both made their $2,000 bond in less than two hours, jail records show.

DCS investigator April Dalton completed a child safety plan on the daughter, and the teen was placed into the custody of her biological mother, who resides in another county.

The girlfriend and father are scheduled to appear in court April 18. Neither could be reached for comment on this story.

What a freaking nitwit.

Father allegedly abused son after rooting for OK-State over Oklahoma

PERKINS, Okla. – Police in Perkins investigate a disturbing case of child abuse.

A 41-year-old father in Perkins, right outside of Stillwater, is accused of repeatedly beating his son because the boy liked OU better than OSU.

The suspect has been charged with one count of child abuse in Payne county.

According to police, after a 9-year-old boy told a classmate in school that he roots for OU not OSU, the boy’s father, Gannon Mendez, then allegedly beat the boy at home with a wooden paddle.

Excellent piece by Jacquielynn Floyd. Blunt talk about child abuse is a welcome change. Too often we just see a lot of hand wringing and moaning about "tragedy."

We've reported on dad TOMMY JAMES WHITE JR. before--who apparently had some sort of visitation, as the mother was reportedly married to someone else.

Does accused father weep for dead baby — or for himself?

Jacquielynn Floyd

Published: 20 February 2013 10:13 PM

Tommy James White Jr. must have partied hard last Thursday night. By his own admission, he woke up early Friday with a hangover and a skull-busting headache.

The baby was crying.

What happened next, said the 20-year-old White — in a series of blubbering, self-pitying jailhouse interviews this week — was that he “held” and “rocked” and “bounced” his 5-week-old daughter, trying to calm her down.

“I’ve never hurt anyone,” he sobbed. “I was just rocking her, holding her.”

Babies, of course, don’t die from being rocked and held. They do die from being choked, punched or shaken so violently that their brains scramble like eggs inside their fragile skulls.

Police think something along those lines happened to Spencer Claire White, who was unconscious and not breathing when other family members came home after leaving her for only a half-hour in her father’s care.

Garland police say White’s girlfriend and another relative went to a store about 5 a.m. Friday to buy the baby a pacifier. When they returned, Spencer — who, at five weeks, was about the age at which many babies exhibit their first toothless smile — was still and unresponsive.

She died Friday night at Children’s Medical Center Dallas.

Perhaps White, now in the Dallas County Jail on a capital murder charge, really was “just rocking her,” as he demonstrated for the television cameras, miming a person carefully supporting a watermelon.

Or maybe he just accidentally “squeezed her too tight,” as he indicated by mimicking a wide receiver cradling a football to his chest.

Then there’s the possibility that he couldn’t hold his temper for 30 minutes of routine child care and throttled the baby to stop her crying.

If that’s what happened, White is an intemperate monster, but he’s a monster with a lot of company.

During its first year of life, an infant in the U.S. runs a higher risk of being a homicide victim than at any other childhood age under 17.

Documented statistics show that more than one-fifth of all injury-related deaths of young babies are deliberate homicides.

Experts believe that that number may be seriously underreported, with homicides often mistaken as accidents or sudden infant death syndrome.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an infant killed in its first week of life is most likely to be the victim of his or her mother. Researchers speculate the motive may often be “a mother trying to hide the pregnancy and birth.”

After its first week of life and until its first birthday, an infant is more likely to be killed by an adult male — usually a father or stepfather.

A CDC report says this secondary spike in homicide risk occurs at about six to eight weeks, which “may reflect the peak in the daily duration of crying among normal infants.”

Babies cry. Why in the world do immature adults who lack the patience and self-control to cope with that irrefutable reality become parents?

It puzzles me to no end that people don’t picket the jailhouse and burn up the phone lines in their outrage over cases like this.

I can’t understand why they’re not down at the state Legislature right now, demanding better child-welfare and public-education and birth-control programs.

We’ll have to wait for a definitive medical examiner’s report to determine exactly what killed Spencer White, but court documents filed by Garland police say her father “admitted to numerous assaults on the child.”

If whatever killed her was not only a beating, but the last in a series of beatings, then this child’s short life was an unimaginable torment.

White, of course, is entitled to his version of events. As he piteously wailed to the TV stations, “They’ll give me the death penalty, and I’m innocent.”

Even if he’s guilty, he might as well dry his tears and calm down. If his case ever comes to that, it will be at the end of an exhaustive legal process that takes years to complete.

It’ll be a lot longer than five weeks.

Here at Dastardly Dads, we've been following this case since it first broke. True to what we have observed many times before, earlier articles clarified that now convicted killer dad ZYRIAH SCHLITTER had custody of this child--though that fact is (deliberately?) made fuzzy now. Not once have we seen any explanation as to how or why this father got custody of this little girl, or who gave it to him. Unfortunately, this is more generally the case than not. Very few reporters dig into the cesspool backstory of how these abusers gained control over these kids, and what "experts" paved the way.

Father Sentenced to 50 Years in Death of 17-month-old Daughter

By Trish Mehaffey, Reporter Story

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Zyriah Schlitter was sentenced to 50 years in prison Wednesday in the death of his 17 — month-old daughter Kamryn, who died of severe head injuries caused by a shaking or slamming in 2010.

Zyriah Schlitter, 25, of Cedar Rapids, was found guilty by a jury of voluntary manslaughter and child endangerment resulting in death following a two week trial in December. The child endangerment resulting in death is a mandatory 50-year sentence with possibility for parole, so the five year manslaughter sentence merges with the greater offense.

“I’m sorry everything had to happen this way,” Schlitter said before the judge sentenced him. “I miss my daughter.”

Schlitter also said he knew “it’s not over” and he was grateful to his family and friends for their support.

His mother and other family members told him they loved him and that “we know the truth,” as Schlitter was taken out of the courtroom after sentencing.

Nicole King, Kamryn’s mother, who now lives in Arkansas, didn’t attend the sentencing, but some of her family members were at the hearing.

6th Judicial District Marsha Beckelman said she wasn’t making a recommendation of how long Schlitter should have to serve before being eligible for parole, which is her discretion with the child endangerment sentence. She will leave that up to the parole board.

First Assistant Linn County Attorney Nick Maybanks asked the judge to recommend 30 years based on the repeated abuse of Kamryn, the extent of her injuries, and his “callousness” toward Kamryn’s injuries and her death.

Tom Gaul, Schlitter’s attorney, said Schlitter has no previous criminal history and asked the court to leave it up to the parole board.

Schlitter also was ordered to pay $150,000 in victim restitution to King for Kamryn’s estate.

Gaul, before sentencing, argued for a new trial and arrest of judgment but the judge denied both motions.

Maybanks said after sentencing that this day belongs to Kamryn and the verdict “brings justice to her story and her life.”

According to trial testimony, Schlitter maintained his innocence, saying he didn’t inflict Kamryn’s fatal injuries, and he never admitted to knowing that ex-girlfriend Amy Parmer, 29, of Hiawatha, hurt his daughter. Parmer is also charged in this case with first-degree murder and child endangerment causing death. Her trial is set Aug. 19.

In the first week of testimony, King testified that she initially thought Parmer was to blame for the abuse Kamryn suffered, but after seeing scratch-like marks on her daughter in the hospital she thought Schlitter may have been responsible for those.

The state claimed Schlitter and Parmer, either individually or jointly, inflicted the fatal injuries to Kamryn, knowingly permitted the other co-defendant to abuse her and/or failed to protect the child from the other co-defendant.

Medical experts testified Kamryn would have never recovered from the blunt force head injuries, which likely occurred within hours or days of the 911 call made by Parmer, who was taking care of Kamryn that night.

Young Girl Blind Due to Beating From Father: Cops

Hector Charles Garcia, 23 is charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, and endangering the welfare of children.

By David Chang | Wednesday, Feb 20, 2013 | Updated 8:02 PM EST

A Chester man was arrested for allegedly assaulting his young daughter, causing her to eventually lose her eyesight and ability to walk.

On March 17, 2010, the Reading Fire Department were dispatched to a home on the 1000 block of Spring Street in Reading for a choking and unresponsive child. When they arrived, they found an injured 26-month-old girl and transferred her to the Reading Hospital and Medical Center. She was then transferred to the Penn State Hershey Medical Center.

 On December 21, 2012, detectives met with doctors at Hershey and learned that the child suffered a massive brain injury. Doctors say there was a skull fracture and a tear in the vein underneath the dura in her head and that she almost died in the operating room. Doctors also told investigators there was ligament twisting in her neck indicating she had been thrown against something. Finally doctors say, the girl suffered eight rib fractures and a tear across her pancreas. The child is currently blind and will never be able to walk due to her injuries.

Doctors told police they did not believe the girl’s injuries were accidental and that the child was likely shaken or slammed against something. Detectives began to investigate and learned that the girl was home alone with her father, Hector Charles Garcia, 23, the day of the incident, according to investigators. Police say Garcia was babysitting the girl while her mother was at work. The girl suffered her injuries while in the custody and care of Garcia, according to police.

On Tuesday, Garcia was arrested by the District Attorney’s Crime Unit. He was arraigned Tuesday night with bail set at $200,000. He is charged with criminal attempt to commit murder, aggravated assault, and endangering the welfare of children. He was committed to Berks County Prison in lieu of the bail.

Dad is identified as HERBERT BROWN III. The baby is not expected to survive....and no mention of the mother.

Daughter suffered head, body injuries

The Paso Robles Police arrested a man on Monday after he allegedly abused his child.

According to PRPD, officers and members of the Paso Robles Fire Department were dispatched at approximately 5 a.m. to the 200 block of Santa Ysabel Avenue regarding a two-year-old female who was not breathing.

The child had visible head and body injuries and was subsequently transported via ambulance to Twin Cities Hospital for treatment.

Police say it appeared the child was the victim of child abuse.

A subsequent investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident resulted in the arrest of the child’s father, Herbert Brown III, 29, of Paso Robles.

Brown was booked into the SLO County Jail on charges of child abuse likely to result in death. The victim has been transferred to a bay area hospital for continued treatment.

The investigation is ongoing with the assistance of the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office, The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office and San Luis Obispo County Child Welfare Services.

It's not clear here whether dad TOMMY JAMES WHITE JR. had court-ordered visitation or not, but it really doesn't matter. If it wasn't court-ordered, he easily could have made it court-ordered if Mom didn't "cooperate"--even though he has a history of domestic violence. As we know, fathers with a history of DV tend to have the abusive personalities that insist on their "rights" so they are usually successful in getting their way. 

So no surprise here really. Within 30 minutes of his visitation with the baby, this POS gets "frustrated" and kills a newborn. No better than a freaking animal, really. .

GARLAND, Texas -— A Garland man is facing murder charges in the death of his five-week-old daughter, who was critically injured while home alone with him.

Tommy James White Jr., 20, is charged with capital murder of a person under six years of age in the death of his daughter, Spencer Claire White.

"We believe the baby was crying, and that's why the injuries occurred," said Garland police spokesman Joe Harn.

According to court documents obtained by News 8, White told police the baby was crying, so he picked her up and placed his hand around the back of her neck and squeezed her too tight. He told investigators he was frustrated because he had a hangover and a severe headache.

Spencer Claire White was alone with her father Friday morning for about 30 minutes while the child's mother and her stepfather left to buy a new pacifier. Police said the girl wasn't breathing when the relatives returned.

The infant was transported to Children's Medical Center Dallas and died Friday night. Doctors said the girl suffered multiple injuries.

Last summer, White was arrested for allegedly assaulting another family member in the same home.

Bond was set at $1 million for White, who was being held Monday in the Dallas County Jail. No information was immediately available on an attorney.

Father Confesses to Raping Teenage Daughter 60 Times Over Five Years

SP/Fana Fadzikrillahi | February 19, 2013

A father has confessed to raping his 13-year-old daughter at least 60 times over the past five years, after the teenager finally found the courage to report him to the East Jakarta Police on Monday.

The young victim only discovered that she was pregnant after she reported the crime when a medical examination was carried out.

The teenager told the police that she had previously not reported her father, identified as D.P., because he had threatened to destroy the house.

She said the first rape happened in 2008 in their house in Ciracas, East Jakarta, when her mother was not at home. The teenager said she was asleep in her mother's room with her two sisters when her father came into the room and raped her.

“I was surprised and fought back. He covered my mouth and raped me,” she said.

D.P. allegedly continued to rape his daughter when her mother and siblings were asleep. He told the police on Monday night that he got aroused when he saw his daughter's body and he did not think about the consequences.

“It was only lust,” said D.P., who works as a car salesman.

Adj. Comr. Endang, the East Jakarta Police Women and Children's Protection Unit chief, said that the girl finally decided to tell her grandfather because she could no longer stand it.

“She's grown up and she could no longer accept her father's erred deed,” Endang said. “So finally she reported his father to her grandfather.”

The father has been charged with multiple articles from the Law on Child Protection and the Criminal Code that carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years.
