(GA) Dad Gets 20 Years in Prison for Severely Injuring Five-Month-Old

Wed, 01/30/2013 - 08:42
Another Gentle Father, Stay at home daddy, unemployed Mr. Mom.....

FATHER ARCHIE JERRELL ISOM 20 Years in Prison for Severely Injuring Five-Month-Old
http://douglasville.patch.com/articles/father-gets-20-years-in-prison-for-severely-injuring-five-month-old


Archie Jerrell Isom of Lithia Springs received a 30-year sentence by Superior Court Judge David T. Emerson after entering a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated battery.

A 24-year-old father will spend 20 years in prison after being sentenced on child abuse charges for shaking his five-month-old son so hard that it caused brain swelling, bleeding of blood vessels in the eyes and blindness, according to Douglas County District Attorney David McDade in a press release.

Archie Jerrell Isom of Lithia Springs received a 30-year sentence by Superior Court Judge David T. Emerson after entering a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated battery. After being released from prison, Isom will be required to serve the final 10 years of his sentence on probation. He is required to have no contact with the child and the child’s mother.

Assistant District Attorney Bonnie Smith told the court that the injuries suffered by the baby on Dec. 31, 2010, were consistent with Shaken Baby Syndrome, a medical term used for the internal head injuries a baby or young child sustains while being violently shaken. The injuries, Smith said, occurred while the baby was in the sole care of Isom, who was watching the child while the mother was at work.

“Sometime during the mother’s lunch break she received a call from the defendant, who informed her something was wrong with the baby,” said Smith. “The defendant said he could not wake their son up and that something was wrong with the child’s body…She instructed him to hang up the phone and call 911 and she rushed home to see what happened.”

As the mother drove towards the couple’s residence, an ambulance carrying her unconscious five-month-old son was rushing away from the apartment complex towards WellStar Douglas Hospital.

“A doctor immediately noted retinal hemorrhages on the baby, a key sign of a child who has been shaken,” said Smith. “Doctors knew the baby was seriously injured and had him life-flighted to Scottish-Rite, which likely saved his life.”

When the child arrived at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite Hospital, a team of doctors also determined the injuries were consistent with him being shaken.

Smith pointed out that Isom remained silent, even amongst the chaos and uncertainty. “The mother had to sit by the side of her five-month-old child, wondering if he was going to come out of his coma, and yet the defendant said nothing.”

Isom finally broke his silence, telling authorities the child fell off a bed while the defendant was washing dishes in another room. After doctors determined his story did not match up with his son’s injuries, Isom changed his story again. This time he told authorities he tripped over a cat while carrying the baby. The accident, according to Isom, caused the child to fall and bump his head on the ground. Doctors determined that story was not consistent with the physical injuries sustained by the baby.

Dad Dominique Ford was arrested after child shot at Savannah apartment complex

Wed, 01/30/2013 - 08:35

Apparently DAD Dominique Ford was breaking in to retrieve guns? I can almost bet although not mentioned below there is a ROI against this GENTLE DADDY. At least for now, he is in jail. But I am sure that his case is far from over. He is already trying to take the baby daughter from the her mother.

Father arrested after child shot at Savannah apartment complex
http://savannahnow.com/crime/2013-01-28/father-arrested-after-child-shot-savannah-apartment-complex#.UQk_aaIp8b0

Savannah-Chatham police arrested a 26-year-old Garden City man after his daughter was shot Monday morning at a west Chatham County apartment complex.

Dominique Ford was treated at Memorial University Medical Center, along with 2-year-old De’Kiiyah Roper, after West Chatham precinct officers found Ford walking away from the scene with the child at Westlake Apartments.

Police said neither wound received by the two was life-threatening. Investigators said the shooting occurred during a domestic dispute.

About 11:45 a.m., police were called to the apartment complex following reports of a shooting of a man and a child. They reported they found Ford had climbed out of a window with the child and was walking through a wooded area with her. He was charged with aggravated assault.

Violent Crimes detectives determined that Ford had entered the residence to retrieve a gun and a struggle then ensued between him and Dennaysha Roper, 21, the child’s mother and resident of the apartment. She was able to get the gun away from him and fired once, striking him. But he then picked up the child before she fired again, said police spokesman Julian Miller.

Miller said Criminal Investigations Division detectives are continuing to investigate the incident.

A woman who identified herself at the taped-off scene as the property manager said the apartment community has not had any recent problems.

Monday’s incident was the fourth shooting that has occurred in the past seven days and the fifth shooting in nearly four weeks.

On Jan. 23, a Savannah man was struck by a bullet police said two other men fired at his apartment door at the Turtle Creek Apartment complex on White Bluff Road.

On Jan. 22, Evan Colquitt, 17, was shot multiple times on Sharondale Road in the Windsor Forest neighborhood. He died later at the hospital.

On Jan. 21, Rebecca Lorraine Foley, 21, was fatally shot in her car near her apartment at Colonial Village at Marsh Cove off White Bluff Road.

On Jan. 9, a 24-year-old man received non-life-threatening injuries after he was shot near his home at the intersection of Fahm and Zubly streets in Yamacraw Village.

(OH) Dad Domonic Gaines Jailed After posting BABY AND GUN

Wed, 01/30/2013 - 08:14

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
http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/2013/jan/29/dad-jailed-when-photo-baby-and-gun-was-posted-face/

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."

Prison term after Dad Adrian Pearce admits child porn charges

Wed, 01/30/2013 - 07:48

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.

Father Gets 20 Years in Prison for Severely Injuring Five-Month-Old

Archie Jerrell Isom of Lithia Springs received a 30-year sentence by Superior Court Judge David T. Emerson after entering a guilty plea to two counts of aggravated battery.

A 24-year-old father will spend 20 years in prison after being sentenced on child abuse charges for shaking his five-month-old son so hard that it caused brain swelling, bleeding of blood vessels in the eyes and blindness, according to Douglas County District Attorney David McDade in a press release.

Dad faces charges for biting 2-month-old son, breaking his rib (Boston, Massachusetts)

Mon, 01/28/2013 - 18:16
Sounds like your typical scenario. A batterer who is also a child abuser. No surprise there. In this case, an @$$ hole who BIT HIS 2-MONTH OLD SON and broke his rib because he was "frustrated" from the baby's crying. 

Notice that this sh** is in a batterer intervention program, and STILL this guy is full of freaking self pity and takes NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS. It's all pissing and whining about how he's "too young" to go through this. Doesn't even occur to him that his 2-month-old son is too young to be bitten.  Pure batterer narcissism, folks. There is no therapy for this because there is no conscience there.

Dad is identified as STEVEN VALASQUEZ.

Young Boston father faces child abuse charges

Posted: Today at 5:05 pm Updated: Today at 5:26 pm

BOSTON (WHDH) -- A Boston father is facing charges after allegedly abusing his 2-month-old son.

Steven Velasquez asked the court to let him cover his face while he faced charges for hurting his two-month-old son.

“This is my life we're talking about. This is my life we're talking about. I’m too young to be going through this man,” said Velasquez.

Prosecutors said the 19-year-old South Boston man bit his son several times and broke the baby's rib. Doctors found the injuries when the boy was taken to Children's Hospital. The baby's mother tells police Velasquez did it.

“She states that the defendant had done it. He had squeezed the child until the rib had fractured,” said Asst. District Attorney David Newton.

According to the prosecution, the mother also told a Boston Public Housing employee about the alleged abuse saying this:

“He's been abusing me and won't let the kids eat their food. He threw the baby down on the bed. He tossed him because he wouldn't stop crying,” read Newton.

Velasquez is enrolled in a court ordered batterer intervention program. The baby's mother originally told police the bite marks came from another child.

The defense argues allegations against Velazquez come at same time as the couple's unfolding family court battle.

“There's certainly something going on between him and the mother of his children,” said Arthur Shabo, defense attorney.

Velasquez is the father of three children. He is being held on $50,000 bail.
