Heroic Father Kills Man Who Molested His Daughter, and Gets Away with It

June 12, 2012 by The Master Chief

Deputies in Texas say that they are NOT going to pursue charges against a father who used his bare hands to kill another man after he caught him sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter.

According to CNN, during a social gathering last Saturday (Jun 9) at his home in Lavaca County, Texas … the father caught a 47-year-old man — whom he was reportedly “casually acquainted” with — attempting to molest his daughter, who had earlier disappeared inside the home, while other family members were outside tending to horses.

Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon says that when the homeowner caught the acquaintance in the act of molesting his young daughter (after hearing her scream), he reacted by repeatedly punching him in the head and face.

The father claims he heard screaming from the barn and arrived to find the man molesting his daughter.

The father struck the would-be abuser so hard, that he was instantly killed … and he was pronounced dead at the scene by responding paramedics.

The names of the father and daughter haven’t been released in an effort to protect the identity of the 4-year-old victim, who was described by Sheriff Harmon as “okay, besides the obvious mental trauma” of the incident.

Pending the announcement of his death to his family, the name of the pedophile wasn’t released either … but officials say he was a ranch hand from the nearby town of Gonzales.

The Lavaca County Sheriff’s Office says that they will defer the case to a grand jury to decide whether or not charges will be brought against the father, who is being hailed as a hero.

“You have a right to defend your daughter,” Harmon told CNN. “[The girl's father] acted in defense of his third person. Once the investigation is completed we will submit it to the district attorney who then submits it to the grand jury, who will decide if they will indict him.”

Harmon said that the dad was “very remorseful,” and he had no intentions of killing the man.

He was just a father trying to protect his daughter, and he definitely succeeded. (Just in time for Father’s Day, too!)

A preliminary autopsy report indicated that the victim — who definitely got what he deserved — died as the result of “blunt-force head and neck injuries.”

     What remain questionable is the fact that the father although tending to a heinous crime is whether he took the law into his own hands when striking the man? Had the situation being instead of a child being molested but that of a child being called names by a stranger and the father reacting by murdering that same man one would be compelled to wonder if the father had gone to unnecessary and extraordinary lengths?

    Does the nature of the transgression inform us as a society whether it is now fine for one to take the law into their own hands?

       You are really going to question the FATHER’S RIGHT to PROTECT his 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER or any child  from being MOLESTED AND POSSIBLY RAPED by that sick bastard????
      What happened to that guy is exactly needed to happen. There is a HUGE difference in being called names at school and being molested. The fact that you posted that ridiculous comment shows just how much of an asshole you really are!!!! Your screen name fits you to a T!!!

      If it was your child … what would you do? You may type a mean game, but if you were that father you would have acted the same or worse.
