First off, pray that this little girl is not going to suffer any permanent damage emotionally. Second, give the dad a medal! I wish every child molester received such a fitting end.
A Texas father beat a man to death after catching him molesting his 4-year-old daughter in a horse barn, The Houston Chronicle reports. The incident happened Saturday evening near Shiner, Texas.
Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon identified the deceased as a 47-year-old man from Gonzales, Texas. He was reported dead at the scene, however, his name will not be released until his next of kin is notified.
Harmon said the father and daughter were with several other people at the family’s barn to groom and tend to the horses, according to The Chronicle. The alleged attacker was reportedly an acquaintance of the father.
The sound of the little girl’s screams were later heard coming from the barn and instinctually, the father rushed to his daughter’s aide. After reaching the barn, he found a man sexually assaulting his daughter – undoubtedly a dad’s worst nightmare.
After pulling the attacker off of her, the father repeatedly struck the man in the head.
The young girl was taken to DeTar hospital in Victoria where doctors ran tests to determine whether sexual assault had occurred, The Houston Chronicle reports. She was eventually released.
In the aftermath, nearby residents are having a hard time feeling any sympathy for the alleged child molester.
“He got what he deserved, big time,” Sonny Jaehne, a Shiner resident, told the Victoria Advocate

I’m with you, Daley Gator: seeing a father respond with (what used to be considered) the normal protective instinct of a husband and father toward his women is refreshing . . . though the fact that it should seem so is a disturbing commentary on modern manhood. I can’t help but contrast the manly behavior of the Texan with the limp response of the Horace Mann Prep dads when they learned their sons were being seduced and molested by predatory pederasts.
I think this should happen in more cases such as this. I believe if beat downs like this happened more frequently it be a big deterrent and there would be less molestations.
I can’t say that I wouldn’t do anything differently. We have an instinctual response to protect our children.
The father taught his little daughter a valuable life lesson — when someone attacks your family, put them down as quickly as you can.
When men of courage can’t do justice, the state must.
THE PUNISHMENT FOR CHILD MOLESTATION AND PEDOPHILIA SHOULD BE DEATH, OR LIFE IN PRISON.
Anything else, including parole, is an affront to justice.
