Father Holds Sexter at Gunpoint Because of Pics

[1pp1k10k4m1]

[citation][nom]chunkymonster[/nom]In America, the age of emancipation is 18 and a 17 year old is still considered a minor and not a legal adult. The guy who sent the picture is legally considered an adult and could be charged with corruption of a minor. While I agree "it's just sex" there is precedent that makes sending a picture of your dick to a minor illegal; let alone that it's just in poor taste. While the father should be arrested and charged for tying up the dumbass who sent the pictures, as a father myself I can totally identify with the guy and would also be very pissed off at a 23 year old sending pictures of his dick to my teenage daughter. The difference between me and this guy is I would have just found the guy alone and busted his knee caps with a baseball bat and suggested he never see or talk to my daughter again.[/citation]

I don't know if I would've busted his kneecaps or not, but I would've definitely gotten the message across somehow.

Completely inappropriate of the 23 year old moron. He could face sexual harassment (of a minor), contributing to the delinquency of a minor, lude and lascivious conduct with a minor. If she sent him anything he could be charged with carnal knowledge of a minor, inappropriate conduct with a minor, possessing underage pornography (child porn is usually reserved for the 14 and under bracket), etc. They could stick him away for a lllloooong time. If they do charge him with all that, then I bet he starts to wish daddy would have killed him.

Anyway, I'm not a father, personally I think its a bit over the line because the dad obviously premeditated the whole scenario. If it was a knee jerk reaction I would say completely justified. But I can't blame him either, not a bit. It's just further than (as a non-father) I think I would have gone. Put me in the situation...maybe I would've been better, maybe I would've been worse. Either way, that 23 year old perv wouldn't have ever contacted my little girl again. Nor she him.

[citation][nom]Zingam[/nom]Oh, come on. I've been 23 years old more than a decade ago. I wouldn't call somebody under 26 a boy or a girl - A MAN or A WOMAN. In most cases they are the same stupid kids as the 16 year olds. Also at 16 most females are ready to reproduce. Historically people at 16 were already married and had kids. BTW the gypsies start having kids as young as 12. At 17 they have at least 2 kids.[/citation]

Well, you need to put some cultural context around this too. If the law says 18, then 12 or 17 isn't ok. I do agree that girls tend to be more mature, and most males these days in their 20's are closer to their late teens mentally. The 23 year old just handled it completely wrong. 23 or 19 or 26, you shouldn't be sending nudes to a 17 year old..period. They wanna date and daddy is ok with it...fine. But until she's 18...no go. After that, ok.

I guess no one realizes how serious this could have become. The father fired in his direction. Started a completely irrational line of activities... had the guy fought back and wrestled the gun... it could have went off and killed someone... and the responsible part for "murder" here would have been the father... as the guy would have had a complete "self defense" defense and it would have stuck. Additionally, what if the guy carried a gun himself and returned fire? It goes on.. but you get the point.

I'm disturbed by a lot of reactions in favor of the father. The monster invited the 23 year old to his house, shot at him, kidnapped and tortured the guy. In a civil society that just isn't right. The kicker is that he called the cops and said the 23 year old had trespassed, when he had in fact been invited. Regardless of the sexter's age and crime, the father's offense is much worse and utterly inappropriate for the situation. He needs to spend more than "a few months" in jail for this.

that boy have gone Goofed

The father is now reporting to the cyber police

Consequences will never be the same

bahahahahhahahhhhahahahaaaahahhahahha...

good luck with that!

also, your scenario doesn't quite make sense. why would someone do something stupid, if they had thought about it before hand? unless they are stupid...

ohh! they're a young man. I see. touché!

[citation][nom]chunkymonster[/nom]While the father should be arrested and charged for tying up...[/citation]
He, William Atwood Sr., the father, is the one facing "charges of felony assault, false imprisonment and making criminal threats" as per the first sentence in the article. Given the severity of such charges, he likely will be arrested at some point and time.

It seems some of the readers here think that it's the 23/24-year old who is facing charges, but he's not. At least, no charges against him are mentioned in the article. While I agree he should face charges for his action(s) (at least indecent exposure), there's no information given here about any legal or criminal action being taken against him.

[citation][nom]Avro Arrow[/nom]...he's a perfect example of why owning a gun shouldn't be a civic right but a privilege.[/citation]
So you support the repeal of the Second Amendment?

 

[okibrian]

That guy deserved everything he got and a bit more too, but making a citizen's arrest for trespassing? He was, "invited over to their house for a talk." Anyway, I guess it's better than the ass beating I would have gave him with the butt of that shot gun.

[citation][nom]NO creaps[/nom]A father has a legal and moral responsibility to protect his children and be accountable for their actions. At 17, the daughter is a minor. That 23 year old scumbag loser should be charged and convicted with sending pornography and solicitation of sex with a minor. That would make him a registered sex offender.[/citation]
he rly shudnt. this was 1 pic as far as we kno. over here ur a minor at 16, and pics cant be taken under 18. 17 is rly not that young. and the father over reacted hugely (tho understandably). I also think that the police laughing is also unprofessional. Do we rly want guys like this clogging the sex offenders list. I say the real rapists and molesters shud be on the list, not guys that sent a some silly sext (unless it was extreme ofc). Im not saying that wat the guy did was fine. But then again we dont rly kno how the daighter felt or if she was asking for pics or anything.

The guy is totally wrong but I think the Dad and the cops were just a tadddd bit whack on this one. The dad needs some anger management courses.

 

[guardianangel42]

I don't condone what the father did, but damn I'd laugh too if I saw that. He wasn't within his rights, but I can't say I wouldn't do the same or worse.

Hell, I halfway joke to my 13 year old sister that if her boyfriend (when she gets one) ever hits her I'd shatter his kneecaps and leave in the abundant amount of desert around my house.

There are some lines that cause men to lose their heads, and even if this father's actions weren't completely justified, that 23 year old had it coming.

 

[corrupt_tiki]

Honestly using a firearm? That's too far.
Ripping him out of his car and rearranging his face with your fists would've sufficed

 

[toastninja17]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!11!!!11!!ELEVIN!!!!!111
Looks like he cares too much about t3h cawkz.
That is pretty freaking funny though..

 

[Guest]

Shame that he over reacted but its understandable given the lack of recourse in a world that thinks pornography and exploitation are inalienable rights.

[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]Wow, I'm posting too much on this...oh well...makes me feel better. I want to see just half. ONLY HALF of what you guys say you'll do or what you'd do. What would be even more funny is if the guy whooped your ass when you tried being Mr. Hardass Rambo. You are aware hitting him, breaking his face, knees or anything else means you go to jail? Like you'll probably get felony charges for assault, especially if you premeditate and break any one of his bones. So you're going to forever be scared by a felony or brutality, never get a decent job and always carry that with you? Along with the fact you'll have to serve some decent time locked up like an animal. If you're that f'ing dumb, I'm glad society bends you over and gives it back to you. You'd throw your whole life away trying to be Mr. Tough Guy. Don't even get started on the "What-if's"....I don't wanna hear "Well, what if he did _____ instead?" .....I'm talking about this guy going crazy over a picture and how everyone else either cheers him on, or tells a version of what they would do to the 23 yr old. If a picture makes you want to do this, then you really need to tell a professional you're feeling these motions of anger and maybe get some help. You're a danger to society if you'd lash out and over react that badly. For real, you are.[/citation]

Sounds like the kind of argument that a 40 year old guy who dates 19 year old girls (or a pedophile) might make too. While the gun and all may be excessive, a good sock in the face should be allowed in this case.

Yeah, and the kind of namby pamby parenting that is acceptable nowadays enables a bunch of little bas___ds to run around freely too. I was at a restaurant where some parents were politely asking their small child to stop playing with the window shade. They kept babying him and quietly telling him stop it ever so nicely as he was banging on the window with the blinds. Soon after the window was broken and nothing happened to the kid. Guess what, a good spanking wouldn't have scarred the kid or hurt anything other than his precious feelings temporarily; while likely preventing a broken window.

This adult sent a pic of his wanker to a minor, asking him to "stop" is just as ridiculous as the kid that broke the window. There is such a thing as being TOO passive. If I come home and some dude is boning my wife or sending pics to my kids, I should have the right to beat on them (within reason). Yeah...ONLY call the cops so they can take him to a reasonably safe place and make him SIT.../oh no, not that !/

Sitting the guy down and giving him a stern talking to or making him feel bad ?!?! It's New age shit like this (lack or REAL consequences that is the problem)

 

[chunkymonster]

[citation][nom]WhySoBluePandaBear[/nom]Yeah, let the Mob rule once more. You idiot. You're the reason people start shooting each other. Yeah, put the law into your own hands, it'll turn out real swell, especially when tempers flare and people get impulsive. Personally, I think it would've been pretty funny if the kid pulled out a .357 and clock the dad in his head. Legally, he would really have to say is "He shot at me first, I shot back". The dad tried to kill the kid, in the kids mind, he probably thought he was going to die. IDK what kind of monsters raised you or what type of red neck environment you're from, but there's a reason we got rid of that Wild West mentality.[/citation]

I'm the reason why people shoot each other?!?! Are you for real, get in touch with reality!

Not for nothing, but given the Father shot first, if the 23 year old fired back in self defense, then the father got what he deserved.

What kind of "monster" raised me, you ask. The kind of "monster" that values and honors family. The kind of "monster" that makes it point to protect and care for the ones we love. The kind of "monster" that realizes police always arrive ten minutes after the crime has been perpetrated. The kind of "monster" that realizes that some things are better left taken care of by Men. Simply put, the ind of "monster" that instilled the concept that you don't f**k with family.

Lastly, this is not a "red-neck" thing as calling anyone in my corner of New Jersey a red-neck would automatically qualify you for a beat down, and that supposition is incredibly bigoted and ignorant on your part. If anything it raises the question of what kind of "monster" raised you? Probably the type that allow themselves to be victimized and cower in the corner while they and their family is harassed and harangued into submission.

Sorry BluePanda, but in my opinion you are reason why there is such moral relativism and indifference towards what the 23 year old did. To quote the Boondock Saints, "...there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men".

WhySoBluePanda = FAIL

While the father is slightly crazy IMO, my actions would not be too far from his. I have 3 girls and if someone texts a picture his cock to my girls, I may invite him hunting with myself and Dick Cheney.
Frankly, you need a little crazy in you this day and age to rear children to rear and protect your kids! When I was growing up, if we had the suspicion that your dad was a little crazy, we avoided you like the plague. No matter how attractive or shapely you were!

 

[bounty]

I think it's interesting that some people think rearranging his face would have somehow been more humane than spooking him by firing a gun over his head and getting tazed. Personally I'd prefer the warning shot and the taze... no permaenent damage. Forcing him to strip was probably just to make sure the kid had no weapons on him. Zip ties, were also probably for his saftey. It's basically all set up so he can taze the kid w/o harm and scare him away.


Just so some of you know. The law doesn't protect you or your family, at all. If someone wants to screw with you, they can, period. The only thing law does, is try to prevent it next time. I'm pretty sure rapists are not worried about restraining orders when rape carries a much longer sentence.

"Defense attorney Jeff Van Wagenen said Atwood also had reported that his family saw a man in the early-morning hours peering through the window at another daughter within a few days of when the photo was sent."
