Killer Dads True Crime: Dads Who Killed Their Kids: Paternal Filicide

One of the hardest things someone can live through is the loss of a child; after all, children are not supposed to die before their parents do. It goes against the natural order of things. Therefore, it is unimaginable that someone would want to take the life of their own child or children. Unfortunately, this type of heinous act is something that has occurred multiple times over in the history of the United States and United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world. Cases of fathers who kill their children are deeply shocking, and when these murders happen it leaves people reeling. It affects the family, of course, but it also can affect a community, town, and a nation as a whole. It also often causes people to take a closer look at their loved ones and wonder if they are also capable of such an unthinkable, unspeakable act.In the cases of the men profiled in this book, it’s easy to see that each of them had different demons they were fighting. Some of these demons were within themselves and some were due to outside forces. The majority of parents, thank goodness, would do anything to protect their children and would even die to save their children. So for a parent to look at his or her child, perhaps hear their pleas and cries, and watch their uncomprehending faces, and murder them, is almost too heinous to think about. Children and, in some cases, infants, died at the hands of one of the people they should have trusted the most.In this disturbing book bestselling author, Sylvia Perrini, takes a look at some of the many disturbing cases of fathers who intentionally killed their own children, their own flesh and blood!
