A Associated Press analysis links higher child abuse risk to nontraditional homes as cohabitation and single parenthood grow. It cites cases of fatalities involving partners of mothers, notes data gaps, and echoes research finding higher harm in households with unrelated adults, steps, or single parents.
Several cases involve the mothers’ unmarried partners as the accused or convicted in child deaths. In New York City, Jose Calderon, 20, was sentenced for the death of 4-year-old Quadaun Brown after brutal beatings. The child’s mother Aleisha Smith pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter for failing to seek medical help promptly. Additional cases include Donel Parker, 23, charged with murder in a Chicago-area death of 4-year-old Cameron Smith linked to two days of abuse. Parker’s partner Lavada Smith had deployed with the Army National Guard. Traveler Bullard, 21, faces murder in the July death of 9-month-old Jermauri raid in Pine Bluff, Arkansas after care while the mother worked. Johnny Carvajal, 48, faces charges in the 2006 New York death of 2-year-old Sherlyn Polonia, with drugs found in the home and heroin involvement. Jayden Cangro’s case details his mother’s boyfriend Phillip Guyman’s assault in Murray, Utah, killing 2-year-old Jayden. Guyman is serving five years for related charges. Devon Shackleford’s death in Mesa, Arizona was ruled premeditated, Derek Chappell sentenced to death for drowning the boy as a barrier to a relationship with the mother. The piece notes debate on single-parent risks, citing the Bush administration’s Healthy Marriage Initiative and a child welfare expert remarking that risk is higher outside two-parent households.
