Search - No, Daddy, Don't!: A Father's Murderous Act of Revenge

Omg this true crime account literally made me cry. How could a man do something like this to his own children , as an act of revenge on his soon to be x wife? Not for the tender hearted. But a very good true crime account.

This honestly wasn't a page turner for me as far as true crime books. I was surprised with all the great reviews, but I didn't find it that exciting. However, I feel like I learned a lot about the law system, and I have never been so angered at how little the law does to protect battered women from their spouses... this will enrage you!

John Battaglia Jr's unpunished stalking and physical abuses of his ex-wives is a ringing indictment of a judicial system that winks at the Good Ole Boy Defendant and says: Now don't do that again, OK? A system that didn't quite get around to revoking John's slap-on-the-wrist probation until after he had murdered his two young daughters, with whom he had court-ordered unsupervised visitation, at point-blank range, with their momma on the phone to them as they screamed: "No, Daddy, Don't!"

Finally, and way late, the system did something.

In Spring 2001, when Faith and Liberty were visiting their father, Mary Jean received a message to call her daughters. Helpless, horrified, she heard her older daughter's pleading cries. Then came the sound of gunshots -- followed by solence. What evil impulses had driven a seemingly devoted father to commit the ultimate act of violence and betrayal... and how could justice be served. 16 pages of photos.

A heart breaking tale of how the law failed to protect and such a loss. A great read that doesn't drag on and explains how to not let the law fail you and keep your own safe.

A fantastic read ....very well written . If ever the death penalty was deserved it was here !1

A very interesting but sad read! I had tears in my eyes from the first chapter! Sad to believe that it is a true story

Unblievable what a father would do as an act of revenge against his ex wife.

good book

The horrifying true story of an abusive husband who committed the ultimate act of violence and betrayal by murdering his two young daughters, as their mother helplessly listened on the telephone.It Is A Very Sad And Intense Book... I Would Recommend It To People Who Like These Kind Of Books.

This book was so sad and written so well that it was like i was there along with this poor woman. anyone who likes to read true crime will love this book

This is a true story based on incidents and events in 2001. The father of two young girls shot and murdered both of them. This story chronicles the bad marriage and the unnerving behavior of a father driven to kill his own children.

True crime about how John Battaglia terrorized his family and ultimately killed his two young daughters. Very graphic, but a good read.

This book was truely horrifying. It's like an accident you just can't look away from.
