Dad accused of assaulting infant son; baby has life-threatening injuries (Newport, Michigan)

Wed, 02/06/2013 - 12:41
Contrary to fathers rights propaganda, mothers are held to a much higher standard than fathers. Notice that Mom may lose her parental rights, even though DHS doesn't believe she was involved in the assault on this infant. Fathers are very seldom held accountable in those cases where the mother was the sole abuser.

The abuser dad is identified as TYLER LEE STONER.

Father Faces Child Abuse Charges

By Ray Kisonas
Tuesday, January 29, 2013, 01:29 p.m.

A teen-aged father accused of shaking his infant son, causing life-threatening injuries, was arrested at the hospital where the baby reportedly is being treated, authorities said.

The Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office issued a warrant charging Tyler Lee Stoner, 18, of Frenchtown Villa Mobile Home Park in Newport with first degree child abuse, a felony that has a maximum penalty of life in prison upon conviction.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office reported that Mr. Stoner was arrested in Ohio at the hospital where his 6-week-old son remains listed in critical condition with severe head injuries.

Mr. Stoner is being held in the Lucas County jail and will be brought here once he legally can be transferred to Michigan.

Sheriff’s detectives reported that on Jan. 19, Mr. Stoner was caring for the child while the baby’s mother slept.

The parents, who are not married, took the infant to Mercy Memorial Hospital when he became unresponsive. He eventually was transferred to a Toledo hospital.

In addition to severe head injuries, the baby suffered broken ribs, authorities reported.

Since the incident, probate court officials ruled that the father was not allowed to have contact with the infant.

The hospital where he was arrested also had banned him from visiting the child.

The Michigan Department of Human Services is seeking to terminate the parental rights of both parents, even though the mother was not believed to be involved with the assault.

She is allowed supervised visits with her son.

A 28-year-old Westside Jacksonville man was arrested Friday on two charges of aggravated child abuse after a little girl was hospitalized with a rib fracture, internal injuries and bruises on her stomach and back, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Tommy Deangelo Butler remains behind bars in the Duval County jail on $100,000 bail, jail records show. A second person also was arrested, but the name was redacted on the arrest report.

A state Department of Children and Families investigator summoned officers to Wolfson Children’s Hospital about 9 p.m. Friday as the child was being operated on for the injuries, police said.

Officers spoke with the girl’s mother, who said the child had begun throwing up and feeling sick after being cared for by her father and someone else earlier in the week. Investigators questioned Butler and the other person after speaking with other people who care for the child, then arrested them, police said.

Dad, son face separate sexual assault charges (Jaffrey, New Hampshire)

Tue, 02/05/2013 - 18:43
I disagree. I humbly submit that being raised by a rapist daddy has everything to do with Sonny turning out the same way. Funny how we'll give Daddy credit when the son emulates the father in a good way, but deny deny deny that fathers ever teach their son misogyny and violence against women.

The rapist daddy"role model" is identified as JASON CZEKALSKI.

Father and son face separate sex assault charges

Posted: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 12:00 pm | Updated: 10:35 am, Tue Feb 5, 2013.

By Danielle Rivard Sentinel Staff

The son of a Rindge lawyer accused of sexually assaulting a child in the 1990s was indicted on unrelated sex assault charges.

Luke Czekalski, 26, of Jaffrey is charged with seven counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault on a child.

On Oct. 9, Jaffrey police received a report of a possible sexual assault. After an investigation, police arrested Luke Czekalski on Oct. 30, alleging he sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl.

It is unclear from court documents how many times the alleged assaults occurred.

An indictment is not an indication of guilt, it is a determination by a grand jury that there is enough evidence to go to trial. Meanwhile, a separate months-long investigation conducted by Rindge and State Police led to the Jan. 25 arrest of Luke Czekalski’s father, Jason A. Czekalski, 51, at his home in Rindge.

Jason Czekalski is charged with one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault and two counts of felonious sexual assault.

Jason Czekalski engaged in a pattern of sexual contact with an 11-year-old child he knew between March 1993 and December 1995, according to court documents. His case has since been forwarded to Cheshire County Superior Court.

Police say the alleged incidents are unrelated.

Luke’s issues had nothing to do with the father,” Jaffrey Police Chief William J. Oswalt said in an interview.

Both men are being held at the Cheshire County jail in Keene.

Causes of Death Determined in Johns Creek Murder-Suicide

Police found bodies at Johns Creek apartment complex on Monday.

By Ann Marie Quill Updated, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 5:15 p.m.:

The causes of death in the murder-suicide that claimed the lives of a family of four in a Johns Creek apartment complex were hanging, injury by sharp objects and blunt force trauma, said Police Chief Ed Densmore on Tuesday.

The two children, Sartaj and Gurtej Grover, died from homicide by sharp force injuries to the neck; their mother, Damanjit "Daisy" Kaur Grover, died from homicide by blunt force trauma to the head; and the father, Shivinder Singh Grover, died from suicide by hanging.

"I'd like to first give our condolences to the Grover family for the tragic situation they suffered," Densmore said. The "Fulton County Medical Examiner gave his ruling a short time ago which confirmed our initial suspicion yesterday . . . that is was a murder-suicide."

Densmore said that investigators are still on the scene at Aylesbury Apartments and that a motive has not yet been released. He also did not give a time nor date of death.

Updated, Tuesday, Feb. 5, 9:40 a.m.:

The bodies of a family of four found dead at Aylesbury Farm Apartments in Johns Creek on Monday have been identified as Shivinder Singh Grover, 52 (male); Damanjit Kaur Grover, 47 (female); Sartaj Singh Grover, 12 (male); and Gurtej Singh Grover, 5 (male), by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office. 

While Johns Creek Police said Monday that the deaths are the result of an apparent murder-suicide, a representative from the ME's office told Patch that the autopsy is being conducted this morning and an official cause of death is expected to be released this afternoon.

Meanwhile, WSB TV reports that friends gathered at the family's worship place, Sikh Gurudwara in Roswell, to mourn Monday evening.

Dad strangles two young sons to death in front of mom (Palm Beach County, Florida)

Mom Saw Her Sons 'Killed Before Her' in Double Murder-Suicide, Boynton Police Say

At the crime scene after the killings, detectives found a blue bag with a second firearm, extra ammunition, duct tape, cutting shears and a note, police say

By Gilma Avalos and Juan Ortega | Sunday, Feb 3, 2013 | Updated 6:30 PM EST

A South Florida man strangled his two young sons with a rope at his estranged wife’s house and then used a gun to shoot one of the boys several times before he shot himself to death, authorities said Saturday afternoon.

Police say Isidro Zavala, 45, early Saturday went to the Boynton Beach home of his wife with the intention of killing her and their children, Eduardo Zavala, 12, and Mario Zavala, 11.

At the crime scene, detectives found a blue bag with a second firearm, extra ammunition, duct tape, cutting shears and a note addressed to Zavala's oldest son, who was not at the residence during the killings, police said.

Isidro Zavala carried out his plan, but with an exception: He spared his wife, Victoria Flores Zavala, 36, so that she could suffer, police said.

“What Mrs. Zavala had to go through -- watch her children killed before her -- is probably the most horrific thing you could ever imagine, at least for me,” said Boynton Beach Police Chief G. Matthew Immler, saying that he himself is a parent.

The motive for the killing "is just speculation at this point," Immler said.

Victoria Flores Zavala contacted police, who arrived at her house in the 400 block of Southwest Eighth Avenue about 1:50 a.m. Saturday.

Officers found one child dead in a back screened patio area. A second child was found dead in the kitchen dining room area. Officers found Isidro Zavala’s body in the kitchen, police said.

Victoria Zavala said that her husband killed their children, police said. She said her husband had been separated from her for some time and no longer lived in the house.

She told detectives that she was watching TV when she heard commotion in the house, went to check on her children and saw Isidro Zavala choking one of his sons, police said.

Then the killings happened. Mario was the boy who was shot repeatedly, police said. The mother had tried to stop her spouse.

“She tried fighting him off and begged him to kill her and not the children,” Boynton Beach police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said in a press release. “He told her she was going to stay alive and suffer the loss of them.”

Detectives obtained a warrant to search the house, as well as a house in the 1100 block of Southeast Third Street, where Isidro Zavala had been living, police said.

The Zavalas have a 19-year-old son who does not live with his family and was not there when the killings occurred, police said. The note found at the crime scene addressed to him said something to the effect that "he was a good son," police said.

Detectives have called the state Department of Children and Families to investigate. “It should be noted that there is no history of reports of domestic violence or abuse noted at the house,” Slater said.

The Zavala couple married in 1993, records show. In 1999, the pair signed a $73,700 mortgage on the home where the killings occurred, Palm Beach County records show.

In October last year, Victoria Flores Zavala filed for divorce from her husband in Palm Beach County, a case that records showed was still listed as pending.

Immler called Saturday's case "an unusually brutal type of murder," but said such murder-suicide cases unfortunately have been known to happen.

"And certainly I've seen it over the years of being a police officer, that there are mentally disturbed people out there who commit these types against their own family members, against their own loved ones," he said.

The police chief turned his attention to the surviving Zavalas.

"Hopefully, as time passes, perhaps their wounds will heal. I doubt it," he said. "You know, I don’t believe you could ever recover from something like this.

"Hopefully, the surviving Zavalas can get the help they need and somehow go on with life."

Dad only fined for murdering 5-year-old daughter (Saudi Arabia)

Sat, 02/02/2013 - 19:41
If you want to know what institutionalized fathers rights looks like, you need look no further than Saudi Arabia, where a daddy can murder his young daughter and get by with a fine. 

The killer daddy is FAYHAN AL-GHAMDI.

Anger over death of Saudi girl after father's 'beating' 

The campaign was launched by Manal al-Sharif - known for her efforts to win women the right to drive The case of a five-year-old Saudi girl who died after allegedly being beaten by her father has sparked outrage and an online campaign in the kingdom.

 The girl, Lama, was the daughter of Fayhan al-Ghamdi, an Islamic preacher who made regular appearances on TV.

 He was arrested after Lama's death in November but was reportedly absolved by the judge in the case.

The verdict has sparked an online campaign calling for punishment for violence against women and children.

Saudi media reports said that Ghamdi had paid 200,000 riyals ($50,000; £31,500) in "blood money" - a sum that can be paid to relatives of a murder victim and which, if accepted, can replace a death sentence.

The amount is half what would have been necessary if Lama had been male.

The women's rights activist Manal al-Sharif has launched a Twitter campaign using the hashtag "Ana Lama" (Arabic for "I am Lama") to demand legislation criminalising violence against women or children, the BBC's Sebastian Usher reports.

A few people have signed up so far, but Saudi activists say it's unlikely to have much effect, our analyst says. 

But with concern over the issue growing, the Saudi authorities have recently said a 24-hour hotline will be set up to take calls about child abuse.

 Lama's mother has said she will pursue the case however she can.

Dad on trial for Starving and Beating 3 month old daughter to death

Lexi Pounder was found beaten and malnourished in January 2010
Her father and his fiancee 'refused to give her food, made her sleep on the floor and forced her to run as punishment for soiling herself'
Fiancee Michelle Nicole Smith has already pleaded guilty and will now testify in the trial of Donald Lee Cockrell

A father has gone on trial for allegedly beating and starving his three-year-old daughter to death - three years after her bruised, malnourished body was found at his home.

Donald Lee Cockrell, 30, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Alexis Marie Pounder with his fiancee, Michelle Nicole Smith, in Sandy, Oregon in January 2010.

Smith pleaded guilty to the killing last year and faces a minimum of 30 years behind bars, and as part of the plea deal she will testify against Cockrell.

Alexis, who was known as Lexi, weighed just 21 pounds when paramedics found her beaten body at the garbage-filled home she shared with Cockrell, Smith and four other children under five.
Investigators said it was one of the worst cases they have ever seen.

The young girl, who had lived at the home since October 2009, was incontinent and was repeatedly punished for soiling herself, The Oregonian reported.

If the family went out to a fast-food restaurant, she was the only one who would go without a meal, and would be forced to sleep on the floor or to run as punishment, the paper reported.

An autopsy found that she suffered a blunt force head trauma and the report detailed scores of injuries to her little body, prosecutor Christine Landers told the jury in Cockrell's trial.

Dad Kills Son He Feared Losing, Self

Thu, 01/31/2013 - 08:29

I don't know why they claim 'distraught' when it has already been well documented in study after study that FATHERS kill children to punish their Mothers for Leaving them. It is Entitlement, Belief System and the Ultimate Act of Control.

Distraught man kills self, son he feared losinghttp://newsinfo.inquirer.net/350435/distraught-man-kills-self-son-he-feared-losingGENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines—A man in South Cotabato, reportedly despondent over the prospect of separation from his 12-year-old son, set his home on fire and exploded a grenade, killing himself and the boy in the process, the police reported Thursday.Police Officer 3 Homer Celiz, case officer, identified the man as Charlie Mantilla and his son Charles Joven.Celiz said the police in the town of Polomolok received an alert about a fire followed by an explosion in Barangay Sulit around 12 noon on Wednesday and immediately sent a team there.He said when investigators arrived in the area, they were led by residents to the house of the Mantilla family.Celiz said the fire that Mantilla had started in the master bedroom was already out  by then because neighbors had managed to force their way into the house.He said the neighbors found the mutilated bodies of the Mantilla father and son in separate corners of the kitchen.Neighbors and relatives told investigators that Mantilla started showing signs of mental and emotional distress after receiving information that his wife, who works abroad, wanted their son to live with her parents for still unknown reasons, Celiz said. This worsened when he was told that his wife was coming home in February, Celiz added.Lucila, Mantilla’s mother, said her son resented the wife’s plan, which Charles Joven had confirmed earlier, because he was so attached to the boy. She said her son had taken care of the boy for the past six years while his wife was working abroad.Victoria de Pusoy, who grew up with the Mantilla clan, said before the explosion, she overheard Charles Joven pleading to his father to calm down.“Bembem (Charles Joven) asked him to stop what he was doing. He set his motorcycle on fire, went inside the master  bedroom then burned their clothes. A few minutes later, a loud explosion took place,” Victoria said.Bebing Tanare, a childhood friend of Mantilla’s, said he had been  drinking heavily since being told that Charles Joven would soon be living with his in-laws.Tanare said she asked Mantilla once if he needed help but he told her he was okay.“But he once told me also that a voice kept whispering in his ear, telling him that his son will be taken away. Maybe, he was imagining things due to too much alcohol intake,” Tanare said.

Indianapolis Dad Pleads Guilty to Beating his 9 month old son

Thu, 01/31/2013 - 08:18
There is no mention at all of MOTHER. Where is she? 
Father admits to having 'anger management issues' as if that should excuse his behavior? Why did this convicted child abuser with admitted anger control issues have custody of two babies? How many of the past convictions were his own children? They were all infants.
An Admitted FATHER with a a Prior history of Child Abuse to infants in 2004 and in 2009 yet this FATHER JOHNNY BISHOP still had apparently full physical custody?


Indianapolis father accused of beating his then-9-month-old son pleads guilty
http://www.indystar.com/article/20130130/NEWS02/130130040/Indianapolis-father-accused-beating-his-then-9-month-old-son-pleads-guilty

Johnny Bishop, the Indianapolis father accused of beating his then-9-month-old son, has pleaded guilty to battery charges against him.

Bishop, 30, was arrested last July after police received a report of an infant who was not breathing. Police found Bishop performing a CPR on his son inside a van parked outside an auto shop on the Southside. The infant was later transported to Riley Hospital for Children in critical condition.

Bishop pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery, one count of battery and one count of child neglect. He is scheduled to be sentenced Friday afternoon at Marion County Superior Court, said Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Eric Schmadeke.

As his son remained in the hospital last July, Bishop called his action “a stupid choice.”

Court documents said that as detectives interrogated Bishop, he knelt in front of a chair in the interview room and said, “Please help me with my anger issue. I made a stupid choice. I hope these people forgive me. I don’t know why I did that.”

Bishop told detectives that on July 11, 2012, he brought his son and daughter with him to work at A to Z Auto, 1149 E. Troy Ave. He told police he did not have seatbelts in his van, so his son fell from his car seat twice, documents said.

Later that day, while he was changing the boy's diaper, Bishop said his arms "tensed up" and he stopped breathing. That's when he took the boy to the van and performed CPR on him, he told detectives. He said he put two fingers into his son's throat to try to make him puke or breathe, documents said. He also mentioned shaking the boy to consciousness a couple of times.

But prosecutors said the boy’s injuries were indicative of non-accidental trauma.

Documents said doctors at Riley found two subdural hematomas or bleeding of the brain, a possible skull fracture and brain tissue damage. 

Bishop later told detectives that he has anger problems, and also admitted striking his then 3-year-old daughter. Detectives found bruises on the girl’s buttocks and scratches in other parts of her body.

Schmadeke said the boy has since been released from the hospital. It’s not immediately known who now has custody of Bishop’s two children.

This is not Bishop's first child battery charge.

In November 2003, he was arrested for allegedly beating a then-9-month-old baby boy. The police report said the boy had fractures to his left arm and rib.
Indiana Department of Correction's offender database shows Bishop was convicted of battery in April 2004. A separate battery conviction happened in October 2009.
