An enraged father who disapproved of his daughter's older boyfriend went to his home and castrated him with a bread knife.

Helmut Seifert, 47, an ethnic German originally from Russia, was enraged when he heard his 17-year-old daughter was having a relationship with Phillip Genscher, 57.

He went to police in the town of Bielefeld where he lives but officers said they were powerless to intervene.

"The man then recruited two work colleagues at his factory and then went to the house of the victim," said police.

"The man was forced to remove his trousers and, fully conscious, he was castrated. The severed testicles were taken away by the perpetrator."

Glad you have sinless children.
The rest of us have to live here, in the real world.

The castration probably came with the warning that next time he’ll remove his penis with a butter knife....in 1/2 slices.

I hope that Phil was actually guilty of something. Otherwise his ex-wife, unhappy landlord, or stiffed bookie got the crazy Russian to do their dirty work for the price of an anonymous phone call.

That's kinda how I read it. An anonymous tip? Did he verify anything or just start chopping?

Dumb Helmut and his wife Helga did a crap job bringing up their dingbat daughter .

Exactly, nothing to cheer about here, while we can laugh about the fathers reaction, when we look at reality he is a total nut. He didn't have the ability to correct his daughter's dangerous behaviour so he takes it out on the old perv? So what's he going to do for the next guy and the next guy, etc (assuming of course he is not rotting in a jail somewhere for a while).

Oh, come on. We’re just having some fun.

Or do I sense some projection here. You got something to hide?

At first I read that as butter knife.

Not this Bull.....

My guess is the daughter is now terrified of her own father (or maybe she already was).

The story seems a little thin, but every time I say that some FReeper comes out and gives me heck, calls me names and tells me I’m an idiot. We are apparently supposed to know all of the facts from what passes for journalism these days.

As you stated there are better ways.

The torture scene from the remake of Casino Royale comes to mind.

[pissant]

Good

[Grunthor]

What’s the problem?

[B4Ranch]

Now she knows exactly where the hard line is with her father. Don’t push any farther than that!

[Loud Mime]

Sorry to see that you engage in ad hominems with such ease.

[Rightly Biased]

Ok, I have three Daughters and that one made me laugh....

[NFHale]

Quoting from the article: “...He told police: “I received a phone call anonymously that my daughter was involved with a guy 40 years older than her. You said you couldn’t stop him – so I did. ...I saw it as my duty as a father.”

Well, hey...way to go Dad!!!

Can’t say them Germans don’t have serious balls... well, maybe ONE of them doesn’t...

BaddabING!

Here till Tuesday...Try the veal!

Ad hominems???

You’re the one that compared this guy to the taliban.

Too old for the lovely singing voice. Castrati were not allowed to reach puberty when their voices would change.

[brytlea]

I know. I was being funny. Apparently I failed.

What the father did was wrong. As any good cattle rancher knows, there is a proper tool which does a proper job without the bloody mess:
