Texas father beats man to death after catching him molesting his 4-year-old daughter in a horse barn. Is that the only sure-fire way to "rehabilitate" child molesters?

Don't underestimate the punitive power of a long prison sentence. I heard that prisoners who molest kids are targeted for constant bullying by the general population. If the molester went to prison he would probably be tortured and eventually killed in a much more painful and creative way than anything the child's father could do.

Beating a child molester to death is NOT the only option!!

I don't know what the hell is wrong will all you narrow-minded people in here that over 80% of you think this is the only way.

Please, stop.

Take a deep breath.

Now won't you *please* consider the alternatives:
- Shotgun, rifle, handgun, crossbow, hatchet, knife...
- Drowning (partially... repeated, or fully)
- Run over (rinse, repeat), Dragging
- Stoning, Bats, Clubs
- Kill It With Fire, Steaming, Scalding, regional burning,
- Torture / Adrenaline Shock
- Freezing / Hyperthermia
- Roasting / Hypothermia
- Fall from great height
- Repeated falls from lesser height
- Falling into a vat of something foul
- Electrical Shock
- Induced cancers
- Induced organ damage (e.g. blood bubbles, liver failure)
- Poisoning (Fast: cyanide; Medium: glycol or ricin; Slow: trimethyl mercury)
- Starvation, Dehydration, etc.
- ....

....all the above.;))))

How about a reality TV game show in which the molester is strapped into a rocket-powered roller coaster and propelled into a lawless territory where the producers of the show have arranged for some very strong people with anger management issues to finish him off?

Like this:

Nah, I don't like that idea. Why should we put ordinary criminals at risk of harm? Just put down the child molester and don't make a major production (ha-ha) out of it.

one less PREDATOR in the world ..
(quite frankly .. if a predator was going after my minor child .. I'd be doing the same .. STOPPING The predator in its tracks)

He did the right thing.

It's not about rehabilitating the molester, it's about justice for the child.

There is no way to rehabilitate these people. I dare anyone who says it's possible to cure these sick bastards to have one of these guys babysit their kids after he is supposedly rehabilitated..

But frankly, from the evidence in the article, we only have the Fathers word. It says there were other people in the barn, so what did they see, hear? What did the medical exam determine?

In IL, the dad would have been in jail as we speak. . . I'm thinking I should move to TX. . .

In Texas we don't take too kindly to low-life sex predators.

Pedaphiles cannot be rehabilitated. I say good for this dad.

I totally get why he did it...but now hes gonna probably die himself...he lives in Texas...

Yes, he lives in Texas, so no, he won't die himself. In Texas, they value their children more than scumbags like this pedophile.

oohh well i hope he wont

This is touchy, but what does a mama bear do when anyone gets close to her cub. It was a fatherly instinct that got out of hand, but can anyone blame him?

I dont agree with murder, but i do not blame this man one bit for what he did, just goes to show the strength of the love a father has for his children.

Yes,he will never do it to another child.

Those sick twisted perverted mfr's have absolutely no right whatsoever to live. That is something their victims carry with them for the rest of their lives and the court will give them four years in jail so they have to wait four years to do it again.

OK, being Buddhist I really should not answer this way but.

KIll them all!!!

Well done, dad.

Though I'm not in favor of vigilante justice, that is one child molester who will not hurt another child. I can also see the father's point of view: He sees a monster hurting his little girl and goes berserk. I think most fathers might.

job well done, glad it happened in texas!!

He certainly did a service in making sure that no other small children would be harmed by that monster.

for some reason this poll isn't allowing me to rave you.....all I can say is that if anything happens to my kids....I won't be responsible for my actions.....even my ex would terminate that guy....only difference is she would use sharp implements...

I know the feeling. If someone had gone after my daughter, I would not be responsible for my actions, and I'm normally a pretty calm person!

ty :)

everything is fine now....

I don't know if its possible to rehab child molesters but the Dad had a right to protect his child. THAT is what Dad's are SUPPOSE to do.

You bet! One less person in the world to molest children. Rehab is a possibility but not one I would be willing to take on my daughter

If that is your picture, you and I could be twins!

yep, that would be me :)

wow! you are really good looking! LOL! i am not biased or anything like that.

The only way to be sure that SOB doesn't do it to someone else's child . Liberal courts would just let him back out on the streets..

The father and child molester are both sick in the head.

IT is a God given right not to mention a human right to protect your child, although children are thought to be less then human these days. You did get the molesters diagnosis right though.

your irrelevant opinion is dully noted.

The point is the father is sick in the head too.

Hope your never in his position, you might get a better understanding then. Irrelevant? how? where do you think our rights come from? the "thin air of "oh sounds good to me"? has to have a foundation from somewhere, not the 4th or 7th floor, foundation.
