Thanks, it was a typo here on this thread I believe...not on the site it linked to. I’ll ask the mods if they can fix it.
If the guy was interfering with a child, no jury will convict dad of anything. In any case, a guilty pedophile would be assumed to resisting detention with force and the father’s action becomes self defense.
On the other hand, if the guy WAS NOT interfering with or molesting the kid and the dad jumped to an unwarranted conclusion, that is a horse of a different color. I hope that is not the case.
