Youth Pastor, yikes!

He caught a predator. It's nothing more than the police do when they entrap people by posing as underage people, but this man was actually already after a REAL underage girl, so why is the father in jail? He should be getting a thank you from them and the community, not handcuffs.

What a messed up world.

He's not a police officer, not empowered to run a "sting" operation and then beat up the suspect. Yeah, I'd have done the same thing when my daughter was that age if her youth pastor, or anyone else that much older than her, would have texted her like that. But I'd expect to pay the consequences, and unfortunately, so should he.

So many people say black men are not around for their kids. Well, here's a guy working to support his six kids and a trusted youth pastor is hitting on his daughter. Comes over late at night thinking he'll be alone with the man's daughter.

I say, if more fathers protected their homes and kids from predators, we wouldn't have so many child abusers running around. LET THIS DAD OUT OF JAIL NOW! He did the system a big favor. The stupid predator is lucky the guy didn't claim he tried to break and enter and shoot him.

Agree with TND. Dad should have involved police as soon as he found out.

Ditto on TND - unless the texter was an immediate physical threat - Dad had not business beating him up.

Reasonal physical force to defuse the threat is the key phrase

I can understand his anger, but he should've reported it, got a restraining order, and THEN got him to come over any how. :wavey: :love2: :smilewinkgrin:
