This father is a barbarian. He beat the boy...what was to be his daughter’s punishment? So they are going to charge the boy?
I wonder how many of the other 17 year old boys in that school need also to be charged. Do they really expect ‘restraint’ in a liberal society in which sex figures in every TV, film, commercial and a public system that feels it must instruct first graders about sexual preferences?
The situation is nuts.
No, he is a father. - you are the nethandral
What other 17 year olds do is not pertinent to this. We are talking about him and this case right now.
The father’s actions are entirely appropriate, and I would not convict him were I to sit on that jury.
Far to the contrary, I applaud him.
The best way to handle this sort of thing would be to let the father administer a sound thrashing to the kid and let that be the end of it. No criminal charges for the father doing what any normal father of daughters would do, and no criminal charges for the kid doing what any normal 17 year old boy wants to do with a consenting girl. I think that arbitrary age cut-offs make little sense if the kids are in high school. Below high school, I can see it being statutory rape, but once kids are in high school, consensual sex among students should not be criminal - it should be punishable by the parents and the school, but not criminal.
Since the daughter admitted the act, yes, they probably will charge the male.
In NH, penetration intercourse with anyone under the age of 16 is a felony, subject to up to seven years’ imprisonment.
There is an exception for spousal situations.
The ones we find out about, so the others learn an important lesson.
What’s even more nuts is the number of freepers who actually support the father. If vigilantism is the going thing, I hope the boy’s father curb stomps the SOB.
Was the 15 year old minor girl involved with other 17 year old boys in that school?
“Do they really expect ‘restraint’ in a liberal society in which sex figures in every TV, film, commercial and a public system that feels it must instruct first graders about sexual preferences?”
I agree that the father, himself, kind o’ set a trap for the girl in the first place, by having her in a public school, where, as you say, they are instructing first graders about sex, . . .
Did the father condone the girls having a boyfriend? Don’t know. What had the parents taught the daughter, and what limits were set for her.
But I’m all for fathers removing the teeth of boys who mess with their daughters, frankly. And I’m all for fathers removing the teeth of such principles, too. As I stated before, short of killing the boy or seriously bebilitating him, I so no problem with a good public beating. I also agree that had the father not taken this action, the police would probably have not brought any charges.
He’s fortunate to have only gotten “thumped”.
