Are you serious homie ? a 15 yr old needs to be dealt with like that ?

Hummm..... we as a society need 2 deal with all pedophiles in this manner.

Just my 2 pennies.

Stripping them down naked and shooting them in the head?

No, we as a society need to stop this shit from happening in the first place.

Society could NOT be doing a worse job of that.

Graycap23 said:

Society is really not doing anything about that. It's a society that spends all its resources on punishment and nothing on prevention.

Here's how the teenage boy's aunt recalls the incident:

“He beat my nephew real bad in the head, where he had knots like he had been in a boxing ring ... [When Cherry tried to intervene, the father pulled out a gun.]"

“I ran down the street to get police down here and I heard a gunshot,"

Sounds to me like the father was a damn psycho in the first place.

Why the hell did mom not call the police BEFORE her son was led out the house to be shot?

Um, if my son were to tell me he touched his little sister, the last thing I would do is call her daddy....
I would call the police to take my son away... I would do it in a way were my son, his father or the neighbors would not know that the police were coming. Just get my girl to a Dr. and hold son in a jail cell until all could be figured out.

So very sad.

The moment sounded so violent and immediate. Maybe she had no time amid trying to plead and deter her ex; or maybe she was even afraid. The guy had a gun.

Lammastide said:

I think she was just as terrified as her son was. She might have froze in horror which is perfectly understandable, but damn... her son's life was on the line.

paintedlady said:

1 thing is 4 sure.....he won't be molesting anyone else.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, but with dad in jail... who will be a father to her now? What if step dad molests little girl too? What then?

The levels of tragedy here are mind boggling. Before we even get to the psychotic, murderous vigilanteeism of this "father" or whether or not the boy himself was acting on learned behavior, do we even know the character of this alleged touching?!? I can't think of a situation where it would be appropriate -- if it even truly happened [/i] -- but did the boy try to digitally penetrate the girl or simulate some sex act, or did he simply touch her? In what context did the touching happen? Was it spontaneous, coercive, in reckless mutual play? How functioning was the boy? Any diagnosed impulse control problems? Mental retardation or social/developmental delays? And how did this "confession" come about? Was it spontaneous or coercive?

All this stuff seems completely thrown aside. And for all the flaws in our justice and child welfare systems, due process has a place... otherwise folk -- like not only this boy, but now his father, half-sister, friends, neighbors, even strangers reading this on prince.org -- unnecessarily suffer. This is utter BS.
