A recent article on a well known father's rights blog has this paragraph as a closing statement on a women who has killed her children:
So what these cases show, in addition to the extreme of maternal gatekeeping, is the frank dishonesty and misandry of those hostile to fathers' rights, who cloak themselves in the rhetoric of child protection. It's a classic red herring.
Shall I name all of the FATHERS who have killed not only their children but the ex-wives/girlfriends, wives/girlfriends, mothers, fathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, family friends, FAMILY COURT JUDGES, and even innocent bystanders? All because they could no longer be in CONTROL (which by the way is the biggest red flag for an abusive personality)? Should we start with Darren Mack? How about Bruce Pardo? I have even more for you just from this year in the USA - SEVENTY SIX (YES 76!!!!!) DADS WHO HAVE KILLED THE CHILDREN ALL BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO ALLOW MOTHERS TO HAVE CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN - OR SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO GIVE UP THAT PRECIOUS COMMODITY

Or why do we not just read the letter from Stephen Garcia - killer of little Wyatt? His mother's request for an RO was denied - just like these pigs want with all women (so men can keep CONTROL) and Garcia killed this precious child. He HAD parenting time with the child. It was not good enough for him - just as it is with thousands and thousands of other men (I will not call them fathers, because a father would NOT kill their own child). Read Garcia's last letter below:
To whom it may concern:
If I am Unable to post this on my website, MAKE SURE THIS IS MADE PUBLIC SO EVERYONE CAN READ THIS. RESPECT THIS REQUEST PLEASE. Do NOT chop this up. Make sure everyone can read it in its entirety. There are a lot of messages here everyone needs to read.
“SO THIS IS GOODBYE”
Everyone kept saying give it time. Keep going to court, keep doing what your doing. No body got it. Not even Katie. I didn’t want to fight Katie. I didn’t want shared custody of Wyatt. I wanted my family back. What good is having Wyatt full time, or 50/50 without Katie. I would of had to live with my parents forever, be alone, have Wyatt go back and forth for years to the guy Katie cheated on me with. I would of never been happy. Our son would of never been happy and a major reason, I would of not had my True Love. I did not want to keep fighting her, but I did not want to just give up and give her Wyatt. I did not want Wyatt to have that life. Understand and respect that.
I am so sorry. I led everyone on my side of the family to believe I wouldn’t of done this because I did not want them to know. That whole time we had been going to court and fighting each other was just a delay. I wrote Katie letter after letter, and I had told her everything. There was no point to keep fighting with her if she was not going to choose us. I had been thinking about doing this for months. At first I played with the idea of suicide to force Katie to move back, but that still did not work. Then when I started to find out what she was doing all those months, it was clear this was going to most likely happen. She just wouldn’t come back. Do not blame her, she wanted that life. Our deaths are a lot for her. It will have to suffice as her punishment. But that is not the reason I did it. It was the only way we could be happy without Katie. I did this out of love for our son, to protect him and myself. I am sorry.
We love everyone and we will miss you. We are watching, so live a good life. Do not dwell on what I did, its something you could not fix. Only me and Katie could of fixed it but, if your reading this, she chose not too.
I understand my actions will have devastated a lot of lives but, I could not continue to live the rest of my life in constant pain and watch our sons life be thrown away for lust. You all have a family, I lost mine. Live out your lives happy and hold on to your family, it’s the most important thing in life.
MOMMY AND DADDY:
I love you mom and dad, please find it in your heart to forgive me. Get rid of all my things and live the rest of your lives happy. Stop fighting. You were ok parents, you were there for me, you took care of me, but its not what I needed. I needed a family of my own. My computer is unlocked, on it you will find all my pictures and movies. Also on it is this everything Katie did to me, if the cops are wondering why I did it or if they need the computer for any reason. My digital movie player will be in the white truck, on it is a copy of the pictures and movies from my computer. I wanted to look one last time at what I once had. Sell all my things or give them to Sean. Do not sell the guns though, give those to him. He and the boys can go hunting some day or teach them to shoot. The rest you should just sell or keep for yourselves. Make sure Sean gets those guns, knives, snowboarding gear too and maybe even the 50cc bike, unless you want to just sell it. Do not keep my car or give it away. It requires a lot of know how and tuning. Just sell it. Ask Chris for info on it, he knows what’s in it. You should be able to get at least 4 - 6k for it. Simba says hi.
SEAN, BROTHER,
I haven’t seen you in forever, I wish we had more time. I wish you could of seen us, and I’m sorry. It’s just too much for my heart and mind to take, I can’t wait any longer. We love you. You have a great family, hold on to that. You really do not know what you have until its gone. Raise your son better than what we had growing up. Raise him with a whole family. Love him everyday and be there for him everyday. You have no idea what a blessing it is to be able to hold him everyday. I’m Sorry Brother, I Love You. We are watching over you. Do not let yourself be torn apart by what I have done, your family needs you to stay strong.

To the rest of my family:
I’m not going to single anyone out. There is too much family to list. You all are great in more than one way. You have all been so loving and helpful in my life. I’m sorry, I know this will be hard. I was not being selfish, I tried but Katie would not have it. Everyone has a family of there own but me. Just be with your family and be happy for what you have. We love all of you, I’m sorry I hurt you like this. Please pray for Wyatt. He gets a easy life. He gets to be safe in heaven. Be happy for him. We will watch over you, pray for us both.

Live out your days together and work past any problems you have. Family is the most important thing in life, HOLD ON TO IT. Be happy for us, we can’t be happy without Katie. This way me and Wyatt can be happy too, respect that please. I am sorry for my deception. I know your going to be disgusted by what I have done. I’m sorry but my heart and mind cannot take it anymore. I will not sit by and watch my sons life be torn apart for lust. Please let everyone else know we love them and miss them too.
TO KATIE’S FAMILY, FRIENDS...
I WILL SEE YOU IN F-------- HELL. I HELD THE GUN, YOU PULLED THE TRIGGER. I CRIED FOR YOUR HELP. I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN. I TOLD YOU TO HELP ME GET MY FAMILY BACK BUT YOU LAUGHED AT ME.

I DID THIS OUT OF LOVE AND TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY SON, BUT FOR YOU GUYS, IT IS YOUR PUNISHMENT. IT IS HATE. I F--------- HOPE IT EATS AT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES FOR DOING THIS TO ME AND WYATT. F----- YOU ALL.
Shawn + Jessie, Fish and Thunder:

Thanks for giving me many many happy memories. I am Sorry I betrayed you like this Shawn, I know you will never agree with it. Your logic is damn strong brother, but my heart and mind were NOT.

In time if you have a kid, dear god please stay together and work out anything and give him, her or them a great life. Maybe you can have a Wyatt. That’s up to you and Katie. You have my blessing though. Just love them or love each other. Again, You do not know what you have until its gone… When it is gone, you may never get it back. Don’t take that path. Go through the tree’s, make trails. It’s always better. We love you both. We will watch over you too.
Dakota:
I’m so sorry I wasn’t more nice too you. I know I could of played with you more and helped you out more than I did. I’m sorry for that, I did not know how to act at the time. It wasn’t till after you were already gone that I realized what a sweet kid you are. It took major changes in my life to understand how to truly love. I spent 2 ? years of my life around you, even though you got under my skin because I had patience problems, I love you. Wyatt loves you too. I’m sorry you could not grow up with your brother. I know you would of liked that. Me and Wyatt will watch over you Koda. We will always come to be by your side. Just kneel down, pray and we will come to grant you strength in your life ahead. Please forgive me, but your brother is safe now. Understand Dakota, he is in a better place but will always be in your dreams.

Keep it, read it, use it, it will keep you strong and going for Dakota. You still have a family to live for. I did not. Also in the truck is your ring. I was going to have Wyatt wear it before we went, but I did not want it to get lost. If you do not want it, bury it with me or Wyatt. Also there is a hand written letter signed by me, in the white truck. It says how I did it and why. That should be it. Make sure you request those items back babe! It is my wish that Katie gets these items back. Please RESPECT THIS REQUEST. Again, we love you Katie. Get on your knees and pray and we will come be by your side whenever you need us. We will always be here watching over you.
Please forgive me for what I have done. I tried to tell you over and over again but you wouldn’t listen!
I’m sorry for not telling you I loved you every day. I’m sorry for not appreciating you more. I’m sorry for not telling you how beautiful you are every day. I’m sorry for cheating on you. I’m sorry for hurting you.
I’m sorry for ** PUNCHING** you. I’m sorry I made the wrong choices. I’m sorry I didn't fight for you. I’m sorry I let you walk out. I’m sorry I didn't listen to you. I’m sorry I didn't support you when you needed it. I’m *NO LONGER* sorry for everything I did to your family. I’m *NO LONGER* sorry for everything I did to your friends. I’m sorry I said bad things about you when I got angry. Most of all I am sorry for not being sorry sooner.
ALSO:
I am sorry I pushed you away so hard you turned into a monster and did something you swore you never would. We are 50/50 on the blame though. You could have told me sooner.
And I am sorry for doing this. I just could not continue to cry everyday. EVERYDAY. I could not take medication to keep me blank and watch our beautiful sons life being torn apart. I could not take my chest hurting non stop almost, for the past 5 months. That is truth. I wanted you back so bad, so long ago, but didn’t know how to tell you the right way. Now….
“its too late”
There are so many things I wish I could of done before I died. There are so many places I wanted to go, so many things I wanted to do. So many things I wanted to do as a father. So many places I wanted to take Katie and Wyatt and even Dakota, so many things I wanted to do with them. I wanted at least one more kid. I wanted a family of my own so bad. I wanted to hold Katie one last time. I wanted to hug her, kiss her and look her in the eyes and tell her how much I loved and needed her, one last time. I wish we could have had Wyatt’s first birthday together. I wish we could have had Wyatt’s first birthday. But none of that was possible without Katie.
I want to be buried with our son or next to our son. DO NOT take this away from me. I love him with all my heart. I love him so much I went the distance to protect him for the disgusting life Katie tried to give him. I want to be next to him FOREVER. Please, its my wish as his father. Pay whatever it costs. I would like to be somewhere near the ocean, PLEASE. I love the mountains and green forests with lakes. It is beautiful and peaceful there but despite what I have told people before, my heart has always been with the SEA. Pick a nice green place, up north if you have to, next to the ocean and lay us to rest. Sell my car, my items, whatever it takes but please give me this wish as a father to be with my son in that beautiful place.
If anyone has a son, you have my blessing to name him Wyatt. It will not be frowned upon or show lack of respect. Just make sure you keep him close, love him everyday and raise him in a WHOLE, loving family. Those are the conditions. Again everyone respect this wish.
I’m sorry. We love all of you. Be with your family. Live out your lives, be happy. Do not dwell on what I have done. Move on with your lives and cherish every minute of it. HOLD AND LOVE YOUR FAMILY! PLEASE ITS MY FINAL WISH.
Please respect all my wishes and everything I have asked for in this letter.
We love all of you, We miss all of you, We are watching over all of you.
Sincerely,
your broken hearted son, brother, friend, boyfriend,
Stephen Charles Garcia 12/21/1984 - 01/31/2010
& OUR son, our precious and beautiful baby boy with a heart of gold:
Wyatt James Arthur Garcia 04/04/2009 - 01/31/2010
He rips into "HIS" Katie - last I looked numbnuts she was a person - not someone to be OWNED. But damn I forgot all of you control freak asshat abusers like to do is control. She found someone who was not a CONTROL FREAK ASSHAT ABUSER like all the other father's rights men and women. That much is apparent. The old "If I can't have you - nobody will". Yeah - we victims live with that everyday in some form or another. Whether it comes from you disfiguring us so bad no other man woulld ever want to look at us, or if it comes in the form of false abuse allegations, or in the form of you taking our child away from us forever, or in any of the many ways you asshat abusers use to further victimize us. One things is plain and simple fact - YOU ARE ALL ASSHAT ABUSERS!!!!
I would tear Garcia to shreds but what would that accomplish? He is dead already so not like it would hurt him. So lets stop these others out there who want to put children in harms way. Lets keep the law in the best interest of the children, protect the true victims of dv (WOMEN AND CHILDREN) and men - you want shelters - BUILD THEM like we did. You want laws to protect you - you already have them. In fact you have been protected for over 200 years (most of you have anyway). Women and children are still not protected.
Challenge to the alleged control freak who wants to give parents like Bruce, Darren, and Stephen control, care and custody of children. Find 76 stories of women killing the children, and many others due to custody and child support court issues. Find me 76 of these who have either committed these crimes or been sentenced to the crimes of killing the child(ren) since the beginning of 2010. Can't find 76. Okay next challenge... Find the volume of cases as presented on Dastardly Dads of the killer men (men killing everyone from their own flesh and blood to innocent bystanders). At last count there were 2,307 stories stemming from June 24, 2009. Granted there are some additional, updated coverage posts - so I will give you 200 for those updated posts - hell I would even go as far as giving 307 - make it an even 2,000 stories of moms killing the children from June 24, 2009 to current date.
YOU ASSHATS CANNOT DO IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY MOMS OUT THERE KILLING THE CHILDREN. BECAUSE YOUR CLAIMS ARE FALSE AND YOU IN FACT ARE PRESENTING THE RED HERRING. ASSHATS....
