Depressed man kills daughter, self
By Express News Service - BANGALORE 28th April 2013 11:01 AM
It was an opportunity for 7-year-old Lakshya to spend some time with her father Arvind a day before he was to return to Singapore. The father-daughter duo were holidaying at the Bannerghatta National Park on Friday. The happy girl drew sketches of her father Arvind holding her hand. Little did she know that later that night her father would poison her before ending his own life.
Arvind (37), a senior sales executive working in Singapore, had come to meet his daughter 10 days back. His daughter Lakshya was living with her grandmother in JP Nagar 7th Phase. Arvind had lost his wife Sindhu to a kidney failure two years back and was depressed, police said.
After arriving in Bangalore, Arvind took his mother, younger brother and daughter on a vacation to Andaman Islands and returned on Wednesday.
After a day’s break, on Friday, Arvind took his daughter to the Jungle Lodges in Bannerghatta. According to the police, he checked in at 11 am and went on the safari with Lakshya, and returned around 6 pm. He called his mother at 7.30 pm and told her that they would get home late. He asked his mother not to call him again since his phone’s battery would die soon.
When he did not return home that night, his family grew suspicious. They informed the local police station. Their bodies were discovered in the morning by the resort staff. After repeated knocking on the door yielded no response, the staff called the Bannerghatta Police, who broke open the window to find Arvind hanging from the ceiling. Police found a suicide note which said, “I am sorry....Please burn all gifts my wife gave me when we were in love along with my body.”
Arvind and Sindhu’s was an inter-caste marriage. Lakshya had completed grade II. Sources close to the family said on Thursday, Arvind had called Lakshya for a movie but she had declined.

Father of 2 yr old girl flees after his attempts to cure her with boiling water left her with severe burns
From: Ghana|Myjoyonline.com
Published On: April 28, 2013, 13:53 GMT
The father of two year old girl has absconded after his attempts to cure her with boiling water left her with severe burns on her buttocks and genital parts.
The father, who is unidentified, is said to have held the little girl over boiling water to cure her of candidyasis.
But she fell into the hot water and sustained severe injuries. The young girl is currently at the 37 Military Hospital where she is receiving treatment. Doctors attending to the girl say she is responding to treatment.
Women’s rights group, WILDAF, which is assisting the mother of the girl to seek treatment, has condemned the father’s action. Programme Coordinator Bernice Sam says his act constitutes abuse and negligence, for which he must be arrested.
She would however not ask for his imprisonment if found guilty. She suggested counseling for the man who is said to have fathered seven children with his wife.

Dad gets 10 years for abusing infant daughter during weekend visitation (Wellford, South Carolina)
No explanation here as to whether this weekend visitation plan was court-ordered. But the research is quite clear. Babies do not benefit in any way, shape, or form by being subjected to visitation plans, especially overnights and weekends. Babies like consistent care giving, which is one reason they are more likely to become "fussy" when traded around like a hot potato. Too many men just cannot deal with a crying infant...that's why fathers and boyfriends dominate as perpetrators of abusive head trauma.
The idea that a never married father should have weekend visitation with a baby is a fathers rights notion that has long outlived any usefulness. It belongs in the dust pan of Bad Ideas.
Dad is identified as JAMES N. DAVIS JR.

Father pleads guilty to shaking baby; to serve 10 years
Truck driver under pressure snapped

A Wellford man admitted to shaking his infant daughter after he “snapped,” causing a life-threatening brain injury from which the child is still recovering.
James N. Davis Jr., 28, of 26 Springbrook Court, pleaded guilty Friday to felony child abuse inflicting great bodily injury.
Circuit Judge Derham Cole imposed the maximum 20-year sentence, suspended upon the service of 10 years and 5 years’ probation.
Davis said in court that he and the infant’s mother, Amy Owensby, had separated and he kept their child, Cheyenne, on the weekends.
Davis said on Aug. 17, Owensby told him that Cheyenne had been “fussy” that week. Davis said after dinner, he took Cheyenne to his home, laid her down and shut a door after she began crying.
He said she began screaming about half an hour later. He said he tried comforting her, but she continued to cry. He said that, along with other pressures he faced, pushed him over the edge.
“All that came crashing down. … I snapped. There’s no reason for it. I don’t know why I did it,” Davis said.
Seventh Circuit Assistant Solicitor Jennifer Jordan said in court that Davis called 911 dispatchers shortly before 7 p.m. and reported Cheyenne wasn’t breathing.
Jordan said the baby could be heard gasping for breath in the 911 call. Jordan said Davis gave two statements to officers. Davis initially claimed he did not know what happened to his daughter.
In a second statement provided on Aug. 18, she said Davis stated that he tried bouncing, swaying and rubbing the infant’s head, but could not calm her down. Davis stated that he yelled at Cheyenne, asking why she had to be that way, Jordan said, before shaking her with such force that her jaw chattered three times and she began breathing heavily.
Jordan said Cheyenne was a perfectly healthy child broken in a moment of anger.
Cheyenne was unresponsive when an officer arrived at Davis’ home, according to a Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office incident report.
She was taken by helicopter to Greenville Memorial Hospital for treatment and spent a little more than two hours in surgery for brain injuries she sustained.
Cheyenne remained in the hospital for a month. One month after she was released, she was readmitted for another operation.
Jordan said Cheyenne has made “significant improvements” and is now eating. A feeding tube she has soon might be removed, Jordan added.
Yet, she still suffers. One side of her body has been affected. Jordan said that due to her young age, 16 months, the permanent physical, emotional and mental impacts are unknown and there’s no definite prognosis. Cheyenne continues to receive therapy and visit doctors.
Davis’ attorney, Timothy Ray, said Davis was a truck driver when the incident occurred and had worked 120 hours in the two weeks leading up to the incident.
“He told me he wanted to be Superman,” Ray said of Davis’ long work hours and determination to care for his daughter without others’ help.
Ray said Davis has suffered with guilt and is remorseful for a “split-second decision” that resulted in horrible consequences.
“What has hurt him the most is the struggles that his daughter has gone through,” Ray said.
Davis had no criminal record prior to abusing his daughter.
“This was something that was completely out of character,” Ray said.
Ray said that although Davis didn’t immediately confess, he did not hide his actions and immediately called 911.
No victims addressed the court. Owensby was in the courtroom with several supporters. Davis’ family also was there.
Davis’ voice cracked at times as he addressed Cole before sentencing.
Davis said he prays every night that God will heal and protect his daughter and that she won’t suffer for what he’s done.
“I love her so much,” Davis said.
He said he cried for hours after receiving a photograph of his daughter.
He also told Cole that upon learning he could possibly have supervised visitation if he completes parenting classes, anger management and other requirements, has a “glimmer of hope” that his daughter will forgive him and some day might be a “daddy’s girl.”
After the hearing, Jordan said, “I just hope that Cheyenne continues to improve.”
Those who love the toddler are certain she will.
“She’s a very determined baby who’s not going to give up fighting. She’ll fight to the end,” said Kandy Cannon, a family friend and Cheyenne’s “adopted aunt.”
Cannon said Cole’s ruling was fair, and justice was served.
Owensby would not comment.

Dad charged with abusing 6-year-old son (Bulloch County, Georgia)
Dad is identified as RODNEY CHRISTOPHER FUDGE. No mention of a mother in the home. Single father?
http://www.statesboroherald.com/section/1/article/49698/
Father charged with child abuse
From staff reports
School officials noted a young boy’s suspicious injuries and reported the findings, leading to the boy’s father being arrested, police said.
After responding to the call about possible child abuse, Bulloch County sheriff’s investigators arrested the father Friday on charges he intentionally harmed his son, Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson said.
Sheriff’s investigators accompanied caseworkers from the Bulloch County Department of Family and Children Services in a visit Friday to Stilson Elementary School, where they met with school officials and a 6-year-old boy who “displayed extensive bruising and marks in a pattern consistent with abuse,” Anderson said.
Caseworkers took the child into protective custody while deputies located the father, Rodney Christopher Fudge, 25, of Woodyard Lane, Brooklet, he said.
Fudge was charged with first-degree cruelty to children and domestic violence battery.
He was taken to the Bulloch County Jail, where he remains without bond because of the nature of the charges, Anderson said.

Dad bashes skull of newborn son during visitation (Lafayette, Indiana)
A young father, presumably never married/committed to the mother and afflicted with "intermittent explosive disorder" (i.e. typical violent young dude), NEVERTHELESS gets visitation anyway. Court-ordered? In Indiana, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
The results don't surprise me in the least either.
Stop giving these sperm donor freaks visitation rights. They are not committed loving father/helpmates. They're just trouble.

Teen dad who beat son 'ashamed,' going to prison
Apr. 26, 2013 2:43 PM | Written by Sophia Voravong
A Lafayette teenager was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison for hitting his 2-week-old son, causing skull fractures and brain bleeding that hospitalized the boy in intensive care last fall.
The boy, now 7 months old, recovered and is developing well.
His father, 19-year-old Brendan T. Bell, pleaded guilty last month in Tippecanoe Superior Court 1 to battery on a child, a Class B felony. He also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery against a relative in an unrelated case that occurred this past January.
Bell’s prison time will be followed by two years on community corrections and three years on supervised probation. He could be ordered at a later date to pay restitution for the boy’s medical costs.
During Friday’s sentencing hearing, Bell apologized for losing his temper and said he wants to help raise and “throw a ball around” with the boy — something he never got to experience with his own father.
“Clearly, no doubt about it, I was wrong,” Bell said. “My son didn’t deserve any of this. I love my son. I want to change.
“I would do anything to be with him right now, to hold him in my arms. ... When I see the pictures of him, I’m ashamed of myself.”
The charges stem from Bell’s arrest on Oct. 7, after his mother called police to report her grandson’s injuries.
The injuries were inflicted a day prior, on Oct. 6, after Bell picked his son up from the boy’s mother in West Lafayette. Bell and the mother were not in a relationship.
According to court documents, shortly after Bell put his son in a car seat and drove away, the boy became fussy and would not stop crying. Attempts to calm him down with a pacifier did not help.
Bell struck the right side of his son’s face three to six times.
He admitted to noticing that the boy’s injuries worsened through the night — bruises developed down his face, and the boy was not eating — but Bell did not seek help because he was “selfish,” having recently been and “did not want to lose” his job, the affidavit states.
Doctors at Riley Hospital for Children found skull fractures, subdural hematomas and scalp hematomas. He was released from Riley on Oct. 11.
On Friday, deputy prosecutor Emily Orsinger argued for a 12-year prison sentence and expressed concerns that Bell might harm his son again.
A psychologist who examined Bell diagnosed him with intermittent explosive disorder. The mental illness is marked by episodes of unwarranted anger, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Judge Randy Williams also said that diagnosis was a concern.
“I don’t see how anyone can do this to a child. To an infant, a baby,” he said. “I don’t understand. “There’s no excuse for what happened, and you’ve taken ownership of that.”
The results don't surprise me in the least either.

Dad rams mom's car, assaults her, kidnaps 9-month-old daughter (Dayton, Ohio)
No matter what the fathers rights people say, it's always about control for these abuser dads. Do you think this father was just wanting more "quality time" with his infant daughter when he rammed the car she was in, and risked injuring her? Was it a sign of love when he bashed the mother in the face and took the baby? Was it a sign of parental responsibility and concern when he smashed the rear window?
They'll tell you it was. I say bullsh**.
The scumbag dad is identified as CHARLES CUNNINGHAM.

Police: Father rammed car; snatched baby
By Breaking News Staff
DAYTON — A Dayton father is in the Montgomery County Jail accused of ramming his ex-girlfriend’s car with their baby inside, assaulting her and taking the child.
One other vehicle was struck and damaged during the domestic incident.
The baby was eventually returned to a family member uninjured.
According to a Dayton Police incident report, Charles Cunningham followed his ex in a van from his sister’s house at about 5 p.m. Wednesday. She reported that he called her cellphone and threatened to ram the car if she didn’t stop.
Their 9-month-old daughter was in the back seat of the mother’s car.
On Catalpa Drive near West Fairview Avenue, Cunningham alleged pushed her car with his, causing her to drive into oncoming traffic and then strike another car.
The subjects in the other car corroborated the story, saying they saw a van pushing a Dodge Ram before they were hit, according to the report.
When the victim stopped her car, Cunningham allegedly got out and struck her in the face several times before taking the baby from her child seat.
He allegedly put the baby in his van and then came back with a baseball bat to smash the victim’s rear window, according to the report.
Police and family members talked to Cunningham on the phone and convinced him to return the child to his mother’s house, where he was later arrested.
Cunningham, 38, could be charged with four counts of felonious assault, one count of interfering with custody, and one count of felony domestic violence.

Dad gets probation for abusing newborn daughter (Madison, Nebraska)
Criminal coddling is usually labelled (by conservatives) as a "liberal" thing. But in reality, all the courts make continual excuses and accommodations for criminal daddies who abuse children, even newborns. The poor widdle dear was really STRESSED from all that crying. Boo hoo. Guess that makes it okay for this piece of sh** to shake or bash her?
Probation and a couple of useless classes. Wow. That'll show him.
Notice that there is NO mention of a mother in this home. Makes me wonder if this is a single father who does not live with the mother, but has some sort of visitation.
Dad is identified as JUSTIN GORE.

Father gets probation for shaking newborn daughter
Posted: Friday, April 26, 2013 9:24 am
By TRISHA SCHULZ
MADISON — A new father who shook his 2-week-old girl out of frustration because she wouldn’t stop crying has already spent more than six months in jail.
He won’t face additional jail time on his felony child abuse charge but must complete 18 months of probation under his sentence given by Judge Mark Johnson in Madison County district court here Thursday morning.
Justin Gore, 22, admitted to shaking his daughter after he had been up for long hours and she wouldn’t stop crying, according to a police report.
The girl had been taken to the hospital for vomiting and diarrhea last September. Two subsequent doctor’s exams revealed bruising on her body. A CAT scan revealed a subdural bleed on the right side of her head which would be consistent with being shaken or struck.
She was only 19 days old.
Madison County deputy attorney Joe Hurd classified the abuse as especially egregious because of her age — with no ability to speak out against the abuse or defend herself.
Gore’s lawyer, Kyle Melia of the Madison County public defender’s office, said Gore was overwhelmed as a new father.
“He didn’t know how to properly respond to a child he needed to nurture,” he said.
There appears to be no lasting injuries to the girl, he said.
Gore said he hopes one day his family will forgive his actions.
“I’m ashamed of myself for it. I wish I could go back and change it,” he said.
Johnson noted Gore’s lack of criminal history in making his ruling but also stressed that the crime was violent.
“You were very lucky nothing more serious happened,” he told Gore. As part of Gore’s probation, he is required to take anger management and parenting classes.

Dad, gal pal arraigned on child neglect, mistreatment charges (Portland, Oregon)
This article is silent on the major issue here. Where is this boy's mother? Is BRIAN L. PARMENTIER a custodial father? Or did all this happen during the meth-head daddy's visitation? No answer.
How did this boy end up with these losers? What officials, if any, were involved in making that decision? Will they be held accountable for their decisions? No answer.

Portland father, girlfriend accused of child neglect, mistreatment
By Maxine Bernstein, The Oregonian
on April 25, 2013 at 4:07 PM, updated April 25, 2013 at 5:10 PM
A Portland father and his girlfriend face child neglect and criminal mistreatment allegations, accused of leaving the dad's 10-year-old son home alone "in deplorable conditions" in a Southeast Portland apartment for a night.
Brian L. Parmentier , 40 and Sarah Call, 32, were arraigned in Multnomah County Circuit Court Thursday.
They each face allegations of first-degree child neglect, two counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and second-degree animal neglect.
According to Portland police, Officer Robert Slyter responded Wednesday to a report of a child left unattended at an apartment in the 12500 block of Southeast Powell Boulevard.
The 10-year-old boy invited the officer in when Slyter showed up at the apartment. "Officer Slyter immediately could see that the home was in deplorable conditions with garbage, food and dog feces all over the floor,'' deputy district attorney Susan Howard wrote in a probable cause affidavit filed in court Thursday.
There was no running water, flies everywhere and no phone available in the residence, the affidavit said.
Officer Judy McFarlane, who was also on scene, wrote in her police report that "these were the worst conditions she has seen'' in her 40 years as an officer, Howard wrote in the affidavit.
McFarlane called animal control officers since there were three dogs, a cat and three kittens without food or water inside the apartment.
The 10-year-old boy also hadn't eaten that day, police said. Parmentier told police he thought his son was old enough to stay home by himself.
Call explained why they weren't home: They'd been arrested and accused of possessing methamphetamine and spent the night in jail.
How did this boy end up with these losers? What officials, if any, were involved in making that decision? Will they be held accountable for their decisions? No answer.

Man arrested for having sex with his own daughter
Dave Cohen
Reporting Police in Plaquemines Parish have arrested a man for allegedly having sex with his teenage daughter.
"Sheriff Lonnie Greco announces the arrest of a 37-year-old father for having sexual intercourse with his 16-year-old daughter," Commander Eric Becnel said in a news release. "Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office 1st District Patrol Division responded to an incest complaint in Belle Chasse. Upon arrival, responding deputies learned that a 37-year-old father had been coercing his 16-year-old daughter to have sexual intercourse with him for the past year."
Becnel says that the father got the daughter drunk and had sex with her on multiple occasions.
"During an interview with the victim, it was learned that her father provided her with alcohol prior to the sexual intercourse. The sexual acts occurred during the past year at their Belle Chasse residence, with the most recent occurrence being on Thursday, March 28, 2013. Additionally, the victim reported that her father had sexual intercourse with her in two other states."
The 37-year-old man now faces a string of charges.
"Detectives... obtained an arrest warrant for the father for the crimes of Sexual Battery, Molestation of a Juvenile, and Aggravated Incest," Becnel said. "The father was transported to the Belle Chasse Lockup, where he was subsequently booked with Disturbing the Peace by Intoxication, an outstanding Plaquemines Parish Bench Warrant, two counts of Sexual Battery, two counts of Molestation of a Juvenile, and two counts of Aggravated Incest."
He says the man was drunk when they arrested him, so did not interview him until Monday.

Dad gets 88 years to life for molesting his kids (Denver, Colorado)
Dad DAVID TARVER is a puke.
http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2012/03/david_tarver_molesting_children_life_sentence.php
David Tarver gets 88 years to life for molesting his own children -- and more
By Michael Roberts
Wed., Mar. 7 2012 at 5:44 AM
David Tarver has admittedly been molesting children -- most prominently his own -- since the late 1980s, at least.
Fortunately, that will stop, thanks to a just-imposed sentence of 88 years to life in prison. But no doubt the horrible offenses detailed in the arrest affidavit will linger for a lifetime.
The end of Tarver's terrifying reign can be traced to February 2010, when his 25-year-old daughter went to authorities in Denver about Tarver, known as Russ -- a shortened version of his middle name. She told an officer that he had been arrested for sexually assaulting one of his grandchildren in Wyoming. But she said this was hardly an isolated incident, and she wanted the sort of abuse that she and her siblings suffered at his hands to end once and for all.
Her first memory of being molested by her father took place when she was four-years old; the family was living in Texas at the time. As she recalled, he grabbed the back of her head and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
More incidents like this occurred over the years that followed, she said, including a rape that took place when she was twelve -- he subsequently begged her not to tell her mother what happened by offering her candy -- and an interrupted sleepover at age sixteen, after she had run away. After Tarver made rude comments about her and a friend she'd brought along with her, she went to her bedroom to lay down. A short time later, Tarver entered and began fondling her breasts. She responded by saying "I hate you" and punching him. The exchange was so loud that her mother heard, but according to the daughter, her mom assumed they were simply arguing.
From there, officers went to Tarver's youngest child, a boy. His molestations began early, too, with one incident of forced oral sex ending when the boy, then a third-grader, said he could no longer breathe. After the child told his father he didn't want to participate in such activities again, Tarver responded by smacking him.
Tarver's third child was victimized as well. He detailed thirteen incidents of sexual abuse, most of them taking place in Denver.
What did Tarver have to say about these reports? During an interview with cops, he didn't dispute the allegations. In fact, he said that he generally would abuse his kids on a weekly basis. And while he couldn't remember many of the details, he did confirm that in one instance, a daughter choked during oral sex, for which he said he was sorry afterward.
He clearly owes a helluva lot more apologies than that. Tarver will begin serving time for his crimes in Wyoming, where he was also convicted of abusing that grandchild. His sentence is officially considered indeterminate, meaning he shouldn't get a chance to molest another youngster again.

Little girl tortured by custodial dad now in custody of her mother; girl's sister murdered by dad (Dubai, United Arab Emirates)
This is what happens in a culture where father rights are insitutionalized and absolute.

Wadeema's tortured sister physically and emotionally scarred by killer father
Vivian Nereim Apr 23, 2013
Updated Apr 23, 2013 11.09am
DUBAI // The little Emirati girl whose sister was tortured to death by their father has been sent to start her long recovery with her mother.
Mira was tortured and starved along with her sister Wadeema, 8.
She is physically scarred and emotionally traumatised, said Afra Al Basti, director general of the Dubai Foundation for Women and Children, where Mira was sent after her father was arrested.
Since then, custody of Mira has been awarded to her mother, who their father divorced in 2006.
“We had to do therapy with the mother first [about] how to deal with this girl,” Ms Al Basti said.
Mira was 7 when her sister’s case came to light last summer.
Prosecutors said the girls’ father and his girlfriend burnt them with cigarettes, poured boiling water on them and whipped them with electrical cords in their Dubai International City flat.
Their father was drunk and high on tramadol when he beat Wadeema with a bar and locked her in a bathroom, where he found her dead the next day, the court heard.
The UAE’s new child-protection legislation, a draft being discussed by the FNC, was named Wadeema’s Law in her memory.
In February, the father was sentenced to death and his girlfriend to life in jail. He is appealing against the sentence.
Mira’s recovery is just beginning. The abuse she saw and experienced could have emotional, behavioural, social and physical consequences, said Naeema Jiwani, a child development psychologist in Dubai.
“Family violence creates a home environment where children live in constant fear because everything is so variable,” Ms Jiwani said.
“Even though she is removed from this environment, because she has witnessed this at an age where fantasy bleeds into reality she is not really sure what her world is made of.”
The physical scars present more challenges. Mira’s skin is marked with white circles from the burns.
“This she can’t forget,” Ms Al Basti said. “We are trying to find out if we can do some cosmetic surgery for her.”
Foundation staff are working closely with Mira and her mother, visiting the girl at home and school, Ms Al Basti said. “We follow every single day the mother and the girl.”
The foundation also conducts unannounced visits to gather evidence for future custody hearings.
“After six months we have to give feedback [to the court] and then again in six months, continuously,” Ms Al Basti said.
As Mira grows up she may grapple with feelings of anger, helplessness, depression or even embarrassment, Ms Jiwani said.
“This poor child has to go back into society, back into her school network, back into even just the neighbourhood,” she said. “How many people know of what happened to her?”
Mira may also have trouble trusting or bonding with her mother.
“Fear of abandonment is really, really big in children who witness family violence,” Ms Jiwani said.
In court, defence lawyer Hamdi Al Sheewi argued Mira’s mother should also face charges, claiming she had given up on her daughters. The court rejected that argument.
Mira’s future will depend on how she and her mother cope, Ms Jiwani said. “This is where her mother comes in as her figure for everything, for changing this entire cycle.
“Depending on how she manages and brings up this child it could go very positively.”
Eventually, Mira will need to find a way to make sense of the trauma she experienced.
“Why was this done to her? That’s going to be one of the biggest questions,” Ms Jiwani said. “Is this how normal children are treated?
“The mum is going to have to put a complete opposite model of love and trust and respect.”
Therapy will also play a crucial role, Ms Jiwani said. “She needs to be able to relive some of that trauma in a contained capacity.”
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, has offered to pay Mira’s expenses.

“Fear of abandonment is really, really big in children who witness family violence,” Ms Jiwani said.
In court, defence lawyer Hamdi Al Sheewi argued Mira’s mother should also face charges, claiming she had given up on her daughters. The court rejected that argument.
Mira’s future will depend on how she and her mother cope, Ms Jiwani said. “This is where her mother comes in as her figure for everything, for changing this entire cycle.
“Depending on how she manages and brings up this child it could go very positively.”
Eventually, Mira will need to find a way to make sense of the trauma she experienced.
“Why was this done to her? That’s going to be one of the biggest questions,” Ms Jiwani said. “Is this how normal children are treated?
“The mum is going to have to put a complete opposite model of love and trust and respect.”
Therapy will also play a crucial role, Ms Jiwani said. “She needs to be able to relive some of that trauma in a contained capacity.”
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, has offered to pay Mira’s expenses.

The Las Cruces man who left his infant daughter in a laundry basket, went out to buy beer, then returned to find the child unresponsive, was sentenced Tuesday afternoon to 18 years in prison, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported.
Robert Flores, 28, was convicted in February of negligent child abuse resulting in death and tampering with evidence at a trial held in Albuquerque because of concerns over local media coverage of the case.
State District Judge Fernando Macias told Flores he didn’t consider him a “monster,” but said “there has to be accountability,” the Sun-News said.
Flores’ attorney Mark Pickett had asked for a 12-year sentence, citing mitigating factors, such as his genuine remorse and love for his daughter, the paper reported. Pickett also asked that Flores be released on bond pending his appeal.
But Macias said there were no mitigating factors and that Flores might consider a bond hearing once he saw the basis for an appeal, according to the Sun-News report.
Meanwhile, Flores — who had been free on bond for most of the time since being indicted more than five years ago — was led in handcuffs from the courtroom Tuesday, the Sun-News said.
Prosecutor Jacinto Palomino said a determination on a bond hearing for Flores could come within 40 days, the paper reported.

Dad indicted for assaulting 5-week-old daughter (Juneau, Alaska)
Dad is identified as MICHAEL T. WILLIAMS.

18-year-old father indicted for injuring 5-week-old infant
Defendant Michael T. Williams pleads not guilty

JUNEAU EMPIRE
An 18-year-old father has been accused of injuring his then-5-week-old baby and not providing her immediate medical attention.
A Juneau grand jury indicted Hoonah resident Michael T. Williams on Friday. He is facing one felony count of third-degree assault and one misdemeanor count of fourth-degree assault.
Prosecutors say Williams ultimately admitted to squeezing the infant and causing injuries to her face. Assistant District Attorney Angie Kemp described the injuries in court as “significant,” adding the baby had bruising on her face and eye. The baby, who was born on Dec. 13, 2012, received medical attention several days after the Jan. 17 incident, she alleged.
Williams, on the other hand, said the injuries were a result of an accident — he said he almost dropped the baby, but grabbed her before she fell. He accidently squeezed her too hard when he was catching her, he told a magistrate in court after being arrested in Hoonah on Saturday, according to court documents.
The mother of the child also could not be reached for comment by press time.
The allegation of intentionally or knowingly injuring the child is not encompassed in either of the two charges Williams is facing. Rather, both charges allege that Williams “did recklessly cause physical injury” to the child. The felony assault charge contains the additional element that says the injury “would cause a reasonable caregiver to seek medical attention from a health care professional in the form of diagnoses or treatment.”
Third-degree assault is a class ‘C’ felony that can carry up to five years in prison. Fourth-degree assault is a class ‘A’ misdemeanor that can carry up to a year in prison.
Williams pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday in Juneau Superior Court before Judge Louis Menendez. The judge scheduled a jury trial to take place this summer in July.
Williams’ attorney Assistant Public Defender Timothy Ayer declined to comment on the case, but Williams’ father said in a phone interview that his son is innocent. Mike Williams, 39, said that the baby’s bruising was consistent with his son’s story, but the family of his son’s girlfriend “blew it out of proportion” and wanted to press charges since they don’t like his son.
“It ain’t fair at all, not at all,” the elder Williams said. “They’re taking stuff out on him.”
The father added that his son was being “railroaded” by the police chief in Hoonah, saying the chief promised his son that charges would be dropped if he admitted it was an accident.
Hoonah Police Chief Kelly Swihart could not be reached for comment late Tuesday afternoon.
Williams is currently being held in custody in lieu of $5,000 cash performance bond. Ayer told the judge he will likely request a bail hearing in the next few days

Dad admits abusing 3-month-old son; baby has severe permanent brain damage (United Kingdom)
Dad is identified as RICHARD LOVELL.

Chester father admits inflicting GBH against his baby son
Apr 25 2013
Chester Chronicle
A FATHER pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm against his three-month-old son in a ‘baby shaking’ case at Chester Crown Court.
Richard Lovell, 25, a chef of Treborth Road, Blacon, whose chest bears a tattoo featuring his son’s name and date of birth, was originally prosecuted last year but the case was discontinued by the Crown Prosecution Service.
However, the CPS warned it was likely to re-instigate proceedings.
Judge David Hale, sitting at Chester Crown Court on Monday, heard the defence argue there was ‘no intention to cause really serious harm’.
Lovell had denied grievous bodily harm with intent against his young son R-Jay Lovell, now aged 17 months, but admitted inflicting GBH.
However, Judge Hale commented: “But the shaking that he did do has had a terrible effect.”
The incident happened at an address in Chapel Lane, Chester, on February 6, 2012.
It is understood the brain injuries will result in severe permanent brain damage and visual impairment.
Lovell, a former amateur boxer, who has two other children from another relationship, will be sentenced on May 24 after the Probation Service has compiled a report.
The judge told Lovell: “The fact I’m adjourning the case for a report and renewing your bail should give you no indication as to the outcome. For the moment, you are free to go.”
Previous hearings have been told the infant was taken to hospital by Mr Lovell following a 999 call in which it was said the child was not breathing.
Medics found the baby, who was born at the Countess of Chester Hospital on November 13, 2011, had bleeds to his brain and hundreds of haemorrhages in both eyes.
The infant, who was also found to have a fractured left forearm, was transferred to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool but is now believed to be at home with his mother.

Father of Phoenix girl in footlocker death pleads guilty in abuse

The Arizona Republic-12 News Breaking News Team

The father of Ame Deal, a 10-year-old Phoenix girl who died in July 2011 after she was locked in a footlocker, has pleaded guilty to an attempted child abuse charge and possession of marijuana, according to court officials.
David Deal, 53, was taken into custody on July 8, almost a year after Ame’s death. He was one of several suspects taken into custody after Ame’s body was found in a footlocker that measured about 32 inches long, 14 inches wide and 12 inches deep, police said.
Officials also had accused Deal of locking his daughter in the trunk as punishment on several occasions between December 2010 and July 2011. After his arrest, Deal denied that Ame was his daughter and that he abused her, officials told The Republic in 2012.
Ame’s aunt, Cynthia Stoltzmann, 45, also pleaded guilty to two counts of child abuse and one count of attempted child abuse, according to Maricopa County prosecutors. The sentencing for both Stoltzmann and Deal is scheduled for June 6. Deal faces up to 16 years in prison.
Ame’s cousins, 24-year-old John Allen and 24-year-old Sammantha Allen, have been charged with first-degree murder in connection to Ame’s death, according to court records. Authorities allege that her cousins stuffed her in the footlocker at her home, in the 3700 block of West Romley Road, as punishment for taking a popsicle from the freezer.
The state is seeking the death penalty against John and Sammantha Allen, authorities told The Republic in 2012. The death-penalty case won't come to trial until December, court records show.
