Cops: Man Sodomized Stepson in Revenge

Well, there is a lot of people here on Newsvine who who promote eye-for-an-eye techniques. What do you think?

No comment!

it seems the circle might well be complete.

what would karma do now?

Karma and human instinct to copy and/or attack. Yes, if the father gets put in prison, not just jail or low security prison - the the sodomizing will continue.

The empathetic tone in this cracks me up:

Sgt. Cheryl Johnson, supervisor of the Fort Worth sex crimes unit, said in a story posted Saturday on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Web site that people need to "allow the criminal justice system to work for them."

"This is a very unique case, but we have a criminal justice system in place, and no one can take the law into their own hands," Johnson said.

Well theres a lot of people who would have killed the boy on the spot if they caught anyone raping their 8 year old daughter, especially sodomy thats even worse. I wouldn't have dealt with it in that manner but the bastard deserved it and i doubt hell be doing it again. the father that did it should do jail time because he still broke the law but the sad fact is now he will be forever labelled a sex offender, meaning he will probably lose his daughter (who has just been anally raped) who will now go into foster care. thats the problem with eye for an eye, you feel like its the right way to do things but the consequences mean that a seriously abused girl will now be without the one person who would do anything necessary to protect her. he should have left it at the beating, when he went to jail he would have been fresh meat anyway, its just sad when rage blurs your judgement. now who's looking after daddies little girl? its not always the case but how many sad stories of abused girls who go into foster care and go totally off the rails are there? thousands. unfortunately his well intentioned and perfectly understandable outrage at what this sick little swine did may have completely wrecked his daughters chances of ever leading a normal life.

An eye for an eye. Like a poster said above, I probably would have killed him on the spot if it were my child he was raping.

If alec-225528 is correct about the fathers doings being a sex crime (which his layers can easily build an argument against) isn't it weird that if he say . . .mutilated the boy's genitalia on the spot, when he witnessed the rape - that would not be considered a sex crime, his sodomizing was really more of an extreme form of physical assault/abuse than it was rape. Just another example, as talked heavily about in other threads: What is Rape??? Did the father, "rape" him? Or did he simply beat the @!$%# out of him in various parts of his body with a bat and metal tool.

Actually, he isn't being charged with rape, he's being charged with sodomy (which is a form of sexual battery). And it doesn't matter what he was trying to do; if you shove a baseball up someone's ass people will still think you're sexually assaulting them even if you insist that it wasn't "really" rape.

Let's put it this way; if the man had shoved a baseball bat up a girl's vagina, would anyone here hesitate to charge him as a sex offender?

Let's consider the mother here if we can.

Her son is a sex offender and a victim of a sex crime.

Her husband is a sex offender.

Her daughter is the victim of a sex crime...committed by her son.

My heart pours out to this poor woman. I mean this is a real Greek tragedy.

The kid deserved it. End of story.

He's damn lucky to be alive. And I'll hope that one doesn't last too long.

its easy--do what that broad did to her husband- cut the kids dick off. he will suffer the rest of his life and the dad is a yr in jail for mutilation, not a sex offender.the girl can be helped to forget. not all the way of course. i still remember being raped at the age of 10 but i didnt let it ruin the rest of my life..

Actually, as I read it, for all I know it was the father who raped the girl, and them blamed the boy as a cover-up. Did the daughter claim it was the son who did it? And, even if so, could it be only because she feared her obviously violent father? After all, it was the father who "caught" the boy raping the daughter. Convenient, no?

This is really sad for all involved. I am horrified that the boy could abuse an 8 year old girl like that- and I don't know that I could have handled the rage that would have engulfed me in that situation. However- I would hope that I wouldn't have done the things that the father did. I would have at least given the courts a chance to work- and would have been more focusing on my daughter still at home who is going to need lots of help. It doesn't help her for me to end up in prison.

I know this is general knowledge but maybe it's become so accepted that it's not really thought about - Anyway this story/thread for some reason is making me think about it:

I wonder what affect public internet discourse has on folks like this. Not politicians or other people who are in the news all the time, but folks who have one huge news story about themselves in their lifetime. How many get obsessed with finding threads like this? Strangers going back and forth about the most life changing thing of their personal lives. What does it do to or for them? Will child victims, some day maybe in a process of healing, dig into all of this and read what we said many many years ago, about them?

I'm not suggesting any sort of self censorship or holding of the tongue, just curious at this moment about this. How this fairly new phenomena (blogs/threads) will affect the accused, guilty, innocent and the victims.

I'll restrain myself here. What we have here, is dysfunctional families showing us why they're dysfunctional. Throw them all in jail, except for the 8 year old, who might still have a chance at life if removed from the human dross that passes for a family.

If it was my grandaughter or even if someone touches my daughter in-law or my girlfreind. I would seek my own justice. Even though I know child molesters are at the bottom of the food chain in jail. I would still seek some sweet cold revenge.

I don't believe in an eye for an eye. But I'm sure they'll have good bonding experiences in prison together.

Sexual assault is bad in any and all cases. If the stepfather just beat the kid with a baseball bat, then I wouldn't complain too much. But he took it to another level. The stepson will require treatment at a hospital, as did the 8 year old. Let's not be glib about this. There's something wrong with this family.

I have no problem with what this man did. Sometimes you have to take justice into your own hands to ensure that the other person will pay for the crime. That little punk deserves more than a metal pole up his butt. LETS NOT FORGET THAT THIS WAS AN 18YR OLD MAN THAT RAPED/SODIMIZED HIS 8YR OLD SISTER! Is it ok to be outraged about the crime until someone kicks his a** then you feel sorry for him? This is the problem with America, everyone wants to humanize criminals and give them a swat on the hand. Screw that I say congratulations to the father, job well done WAY TO STICK UP FOR YOUR DAUGHTER AND NOT LET THE SYSTEM PROTECT HER RAPIST. BRAVO!

The father did what EVERY other father, who has been in the same situation as him wanted to do. the only difference is he acted on it. The CHILD is 8 years old. Her innocence and childhood will never be the same. I was molested at the age of 9 and I know about the therapy this poor kid will endure the rest of her life. So, from me and my personal experience, I say THANK YOU !!!!!!

While the father probably shouldn't have acted as he did, I have a hard time working up any sympathy for a child rapist who should be put to death as quickly as possibly in my opinion. That or locked up for life with no chance for parole. It isn't like there is any chance that he could be falsely accused since he was caught in the act. The police had no choice but to arrest and charge the father but I suspect that given the circumstances that even if he is convicted that he will receive a relatively light sentence with little or no jail time.

I think our justice system is pathetic. I totally agree with Brian DeWeese. Crimes against children are unforgivable and should NOT tolerated. Anyone who hurts a child in ANY way is of no use to society. No trial... No bail.... No Mercy of any kind.......... If society became more enraged at this kind of cruelty and took care of punishing the guilty....there would be MUCH less crimes against children...... The same for the "animals" who commit crimes against elderly people....

I have an 18 year-old son and a 7 year-old daughter. Reading this article made my skin crawl. A situation like this would be soul-crushing to a parent. My concern for my victimized child's welfare would come first. That little girl needs help and support. The 18 year-old absolutely needs to be held accountable to the full extent of the law. I'm not sure that in my family, the police would have been called to the initial scene to begin with with. I think her uncles would have been. When the police were called, they may have found that the young man was roughed up a bit. They would not find the young man sexually assaulted, however. That piece is creepy and makes you wonder what goes on in that house. You've got an 18 year-old sexually abusing an 8 year-old. You've got an adult male sexually assaulting an adolescent male in retaliation. If my son abused my daughter, her uncles would beat his ass - no question. They would not kill him and it would never cross their minds to sexually assault him. He, too, would be in need of some serious help. Something is wrong when an 18 year-old is looking at an 8 year-old sexually. He's still a human being. He'd still be my son, but I would need to do a lot of work to forgive him. He would go through the justice system.
