My grandpa who grew up during the early 1900 use to tell how when someone was exposed as a child / wife abuser or adulterer a group of the menfolk would go out to his farm and have a "chat" with him. The perp usually changed his ways really quick or fled the county.

It's amazing how people could take care of their own problems before the government decided they needed a "department" to handle every issue.

I agree with you- back in the old days they would group together and have a chat with the perp. But back then simply being apporached by a group like this was enough to throw the fear of God into anyone, and so that was often clearly enough to do the trick- and repeat visits were not quite so cordial...
