He was quite restrained considering the circumstances.

That is restrained. I'd have beat him to death if I caught some guy abusing my kid. Well done to that lad.

The ICCL gang haven't woke up yet. Then we will hear them bleating about "due process and fair trial"

Do you often get angry about things people haven't actually said and probably never will?

While I would probably take great pleasure in beating the **** out of him if it was me, the torture fantasists on these threads are nearly as bad as the civil liberties crowd

I can't imagine being as restrained as him..fair play to the guy.
Hope the victim recovers from the ordeal and as for the scumbag paedophile..well who really cares. Throw him in a pit somewhere to rot.

They are somewhat preoccupied taking a onesided view in a conflict they know very little about, well only what they choose to know...

You should be safe, so work away.

demanufactured · 19-07-2014 09:55AM

Quite restrained - He'd never been seen again if it was me...

131spanner · 19-07-2014 09:57AM

Good to see a bit of street justice now and again!

Chance The Rapper · 19-07-2014 09:58AM

Did none of you see the photo? Didn't seem like he restrained himself much.

He didn't kill him did he? That's incredible restraint if you ask me.

Fair play to the father - I can't think of anyone that would do any differently. I'd probably include burglars and car thieves in the mix too - I think emotions kick in - big time - the abuser no doubt at all, the other two I mentioned would kind of depend on circumstances a bit more.

But there's a huge difference between this and people acting as vigilantes. Going on scant information and exacting their own justice. I remember that case in England where local vigilantes surrounded a Paediatrician's house because they were just feckin stupid.

bobrawn20 · 19-07-2014 10:05AM

Also, just seen the photo. He's not even that badly beaten. Fairly sheltered if you think that's not being restrained.

Surprised the PC brigade isn't all over this already. I'd like to think the police here would take the same approach, but strongly suspect here the dad would end up going to jail for years and the rapist a few months .
FWIW I think the dad was totally justified in his actions, sometimes a short stint behind bars isn't enough of a deterrent and punishment in my opinion.

salmocab · 19-07-2014 10:16AM

Its great that the police just say that the father has nothing to answer for, no pretending that what he done was wrong which is likely what would happen here.

Shanotheslayer · 19-07-2014 10:22AM

Fair play to the Dad for punching around that scumbag

Spot on. He doesn't have a case to answer at all.

Banjo String · 19-07-2014 10:36AM

This has been polluting my news feed on fb since yesterday, accompanied by a pic of a bloke with swollen cheeks, bust lips etc.

Couldn't help thinking the whole story was a load of bull tbh.

To be fair he caught him committing a crime. Technically he had to restrain him and that means beating him.

It'd be slightly different if the guy was nowhere near the kid. I mean a scenario when someone heard it had happened and then tracked down the abuser.

And it'd be different again if the guy was no relation but just beating up someone he thought was an abuser.

In this case i think the guy was warranted and actually restrained himself considering a lot of people would have done a lot worse if they'd walked in finding someone doing stuff like that.

His jaw is definitely broken. Still, a very measured reaction from the father.

KKkitty · 19-07-2014 12:21PM

Scumbag gets what he deserves and father is not charged with anything so some might think it's a win/win but the poor boy will never forget this

Lingua Franca · 19-07-2014 12:22PM

I'm one of the PC brigade looney leftie bleeding heart liberals that some of you are so obsessed with and I haven't the slightest problem with this at all.

Dad showed remarkable restraint. I'm glad he's not being prosecuted for it. I hope that wee fella can get over it, sounds like he was being abused for a few years.

Macavity. · 19-07-2014 12:46PM

It's easy to say you'd have killed the man on the internet but really, unless you have killed before, there is no way for sure you know how you'd react.

Exactly, it always baffles me how these threads always include people who are much more concerned with the punishment of the perpetrator rather than the welfare of the victim. So much so it becomes the focus of the thread.

No amount of counselling will truly make this go away from the victim's point of view. I really hope hell be ok.

Wishiwasa Littlebitaller · 19-07-2014 01:13PM

If I found some guy abusing my kid, I would do whatever it was that would get this post well thanked.

I'm fairly sure any dad with a daughter knows exactly how they would react.

Fair play to the police there, "Dad was acting like a dad. I don't see anything we should charge the dad with,"

Nobody can say how they'd actually react until in that situation, and hopefully, nobody here will ever have to be in such a situation.

But surely losing control and beating the guy in front of child, is not in the best interests of the child.
It's possible to restrain someone without braking bones and turning into a maniac yourself.

And no I'm not defending the child molester. But 2 wrongs don't make a right. I haven't read the link but unless the molester attacked back and the it became more of self-defence. I don't think the father was very restrained.

I think that's being unfair on our cops. I'd bet the farm that if it was the same scenario here the Guards would be just as sympathetic.

Father catches child abuser in the act.
