Happy families wut?

Hahaha, nice.

There's all kinds of things that can be said here -- violence is never justified, or its only what the bastard deserved, but really, it's all rather senseless. Because no matter what is done to the stepson, whether its jail for life or what DID happen to him.. the girl was still brutalized. And nothing will change that.

That being said, I'm sure there was some small measure of satisfaction in the father's actions.

[Leonock]

Kid got what he deserved.

[Miltani]

the boy deserved it lol.

[Dakana]

Kid got what he deserved.

[Plow]

Kid got what he deserved.

definitely... I'm almost never one for "eye for an eye" kind of shit but if you rape 8 year olds you deserve anything and everything you get


I hope the kid still gets locked up and gets it even worse when he's in jail.

[Artemas]

He should have gotten the mother too for raising such a piece of shit kid.

I can't believe she bailed his ass out of jail.

To quote Sam Jackson in A Time To Kill, "Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in Hell."

No, nothing will change it. However, she's still alive and well and will heal before she knows it. On the other hand, she'll have the knowledge that her rapist is in jail and was violated with a wrench before he went. That should at least make her smile.

I voted no for the aforementioned reason but after reading your response I think I should have answered yes. If the dad was willing to go to jail for awhile then I believe the teenager got what he deserved. He stole the little girls innocence/childhood so her dad took his.

while i want to give a shoutout to the dad for what he did, i can't help but think about what's ganna happen to the family from here on. with the father probably going to jail, the family is going to have to deal with the onset of financial problems, on top of the emotional ones. not to mention, he will possibly be put on a sex offender's list depending on the state, directly affecting his future employability and the neighborhood his family can live.

I suspect the father won't suffer too much from being put on a sex offenders register. All he needs to do is explain that a piece of shit raped his little girl, so he taught him a lesson. Going by the current poll results, I suspect he'd be given a job at most places.

[Aerin]

Have to give props to the Dad for holding back on beating the kid up originally. The kid more than deserved it.

[Minions]

At least he didn't shoot him. All kinds of things are fucked up in that story. I'm not surprised he retaliated at him, I'm surprised the wife paid the bail, I'm sure it was set pretty high. Seems like there are a lot of issues here.

[Catrina]

The 18 year old "Kid" should have been charged as an adult without bond, maybe put in general county lockup, they sure looove rapists there (especially child rapists). That would have been the perfect punishment, really.

[Metah]

Agreed, the sweetest revenge is when they aren't expecting it. He would've expected getting his ass beat caught in the middle of the act, but not after going to jail and having his mom pay for his bail.

[Woozie]

As much as I'd like to say "Don't take the law into your own hands" or "An eye for an eye leaves us all blind" etc, I hate cases of child rape, and I'd say the guy got what he deserved. Voted yes.

[Enkidu]

I think they both belong in prison. I'd cheer for the stepfather if he was the average Joe sort of guy who found this out and took revenge, however this guy has been in and out of prison for a variety of reasons and could very well have something to do with the fucked up nature of his 18 year old stepson.
