The father’s immediate goal was, I assume, to have the molester stop, plus we can assume the father was angry beyond belief. I have read that if you hit someone in the head (whether with your fists or some object) hard enough to knock them out cold, you are running a risk of actually killing them. The father probably smacked him (with fists or object) until the guy stopped moving. And, oops, now the guy’s dead.
Given what the perp was doing, I am completely on the father’s side. I wish all molesters realized that their activities might end in summary death. I think there would be a lot less molestations everywhere if people thought they’d die from it.
If only Mike McQueary had done the same as this dad when he saw Sandusky molesting that boy in the Penn State shower room.
There was an 11 y.o. girl killed in a fight in California, by a punch to the head from another girl the same age. According to the investigators, she was not struck with unusual force, she did not hit her head on the ground. They did not charge the other girl - just a freak thing in a kids’ fight apparently.
Some people have congenital weaknesses in their blood vessels.
Now were there witnesses to what happened in this Texas case? Besides the father and the little girl?
