Fayetteville Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Infant Daughter’s Death
A Fayetteville man has received a substantial prison sentence after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his four-week-old daughter. The tragic incident occurred back in 2021 while the child was in his care.
The specifics of the case are harrowing, with the felony information revealing that the man, identified as Charles Dugan, dropped the infant on her head, causing a skull fracture. This egregious act led to the demise of the young child.
Dugan’s plea deal has him facing a 15-year prison sentence, while an additional 15 years have been suspended. The incident and subsequent conviction bring attention to the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals, especially young children.
The incident is not an isolated one, reminding us of other cases where children have been the unfortunate victims of violence and abuse. Such incidents serve as sobering reminders of the need for vigilance and engagement in preventing such tragedies.
As we reflect on the consequences of these acts, we must also acknowledge the impact on families and communities. It is crucial that we continue to support and educate each other on protecting the most vulnerable among us.
