If YOUR 11 year old daughter was brutally raped and sodomized by a gang of older teens and you found out about it before the police did, would you "serve justice" yourself to make sure it was done right, or let the police and courts handle it?

I have no real clue what I would do. I know what I would *want* to do, I do carve wood, after all.

Ive been there done it and went to prison, but he moved out of the country, there wasnt a court room or a copper could get a result like that, the police took my pick axe handle with 'Widow Maker' burned on the handle as evidence, but he walks funny and talks funny, but my babies safe

I cant say for sure, my husband would probably prevent me from dealing out my own justice (he is very level headed) but Id like to think Id wait to see what the courts did and then if they failed to serve justice Id probably handle it on my own and not even my husband would be able to stop me.

generally the police dont really bring justice but as hard as it would be not to chase down who did i would fully concentrate on her and make sure she gets the closure and help she needs

Do you know what they do to people is prison who rape/molest children?

Their life, if convicted, is going be utter hell when their fellow inmates find out.

For me, I would try to console her and give her as much support as I can. My boyfriend on the other hand........ He would find them and we all know how that would end.

Our legal system is pure crap! It cares more about helping the guilty get away with crimes more so than protecting the innocent.

I would WANT to kill the little Mother F'ers, but I would know doing so would most likely land me in prison, and that would harm her even more by losing her mother. So, I would very reluctantly step back and let the police deal with it.

there would be hell to pay! people can become monsters, in this situation the courts won't help you, they'll find a flaw and the band of rapists would walk freely, that is our court system, let the murderers free! and when I say monsters... well take a long look at your little girl, so innocent, so pure, you would die for her to make sure that she grows up! that is what I mean to do, if I become a monster then so be it, let me just take out the trash!!

Sadly since this is America that I live in, The person doing the raping would most likely be sent to jail and slapped with a fine, but if you kill the person that raped your daughter, you would most likely end up in jail for the rest of your life.

does this make it less of a crime? ever notice how whites get procesecuted for hate crimes when race has nothing to do with the crime but blacks or other minorities never get charged with hate crimes?
would this girl be more raped or less raped depending upon the race of the attackers? i like how you tried to throw everyone off and control this thread but i am able to keep my eye on the ball. i would kill them no matter what color the bastards are.

The child will need me to help her recover from the horror, no me behind bars. And why else do we have a court system if everyone is going to take the law into their own hands. My favorite was the mother that waited ntil the trial was over. Her son's attacked was found not guilty.....and she pulled the pistol from her purse and dropped him, right in the courtroom I believe. Give the law it's shot first.

The courts can decide my fate after I deal with the animals! the problem with the court system is it's exclusive purpose is to give criminal justice, hense the criminal justice system. victims never receive justice. we talk about justice and freedom as rights, the only place I know where the victim is vindicated is China. their system subscribes to victims rights and criminals are terminated or treated harshly and swiftly. and after I deal with the animals that did that to my daughter I'LL be the one getting justice both in and out of court!
