woman sets fire to husband who sexually abused daughter.

I dont know this womans story and if there is anyone that can care for her daughter while she was away. Most of us would probably have an uncontrollable urge to do what she did and and in my own case I would have no choice in my mind but to end my child's attackers life. That being said, my situation is that I can rot in jail whil y wife can still care for my child. You HAVE to know you are going to jail when you lite somene on fire and that has to be considered. Is your chil going suffer more while you exact YOUR personal justice.

ISIS feels justified in their beheadings and fire torture killings as well.

There is a line we need to draw in the sand and we need to end revenge culture. This act has done nothing but create a situation of unimaginable suffering for this little girl.

I agree with others - until it is proven he did this, she just made herself Judge, Jury and executioner. Everyone has the right to trial, it is one of the core principles of modern, civilised society.

I know a man who was wrongly accused by his step-daughter of molestation. It eventually came out she just didn't like him (as Step-children are prone to do - my own step-son is currently causing problems in our home for the same reason) and wanted him out the house. I assume all you cheering this woman on would also condone him being set alight merely because someone made an allegation that was yet to be heard in a Court of Law?

This is, sadly, too often what we see on ATS. People accused of crimes and before a charge has even been filed, much less a trial date or a conviction, people will be baying for blood. I sincerely hope none of you ever end up being called up for Jury duty, it seems most of you would make your minds up before the trial even started.

Being set on fire or getting beheaded would be best for this animal, ISIS style. A young girl's innocence has been destroyed as well as her future outlook on love, affection and relationships. A court's slap on the wrist and 6 month probation just isn't enough.

The article doesn't mention if the guy died...

as to the woman...Not guilty, by reason of temporary insanity.

And another one, assuming guilt before any trial has taken place.. Does he not have the right to a trial and to be able to present a defence? It isn't outside the realm of possibility that the charges are false and if they aren't, it is down to the Court to dish out punishment as the Laws of the Land dictate, not the woman.

Pleading insanity would be hard given she clearly planned it and even if it flew as a defence, she may end up being incarcerated in a mental institution. Either way, the kid loses out.

Having looked at the video and read the articles the following can be stated:

While I can understand how upset she was on this, what good parent would not be wanting to protect their child, even to the point of violence. However, there is a point for revenge and a point for allowing the courts to go forward. But if I read the articles correctly, there are a few things that should be noted:

The man was not charged at the time, and if we go off of the article, there was no police report. Now if the woman saw him in the act, then I would say this would be just about justifiable. However, there is too many questions and it will take time for the investigation to come out. One question that I would have, and it is prudent, is why did the woman not get her child out of the situation, to a family member or even to the authorities, or a doctor to have the child checked out? Why not go and seek shelter, at a woman’s shelter where they would be protected and ultimately able to proceed with such? While I can not fault her for such, however, I believe she went too far and she should be punished, but I would urge mercy on the part of the courts, for this, especially if her soon to be ex husband is guilty of this and so charged in the case.

Good riddance, more justice than the courts have ever done for anyone.

good for her, she should be exonerated immediately. there is no stronger power than a mothers love and most mothers given a choice would do the same, i'd have done worse. and if it'd been me doing it, that paedophile would not be breathing at this point. if they molest children, they can expect the wrath of womankind and motherhood. so be it.

Let's just do away with the court system, jury trials, and innocent until proven guilty all together.

Infact... I'm pretty sure the two of you stole the fried chicken from my fridge. My word is the only thing that's needed to prove your guilt. Off with your heads!

I don't often condone violence but this woman was justified.
There are certain crimes and certain kinds of people for whom this kind of 'justice' is warranted - and a guy doing that to his own daughter?? Yeah - he had it coming.

a reply to: stargatetravels

You stole a 12 pack from my fridge. I don't need proof, you just did it. Off with your head.

I certainly won't be judging the woman for what she did, might raise a glass to her later but that's it.

Only struggle i ever have with this kind of thing is the thought of because of yur actions, you ae then taken away from the child.

My only sadness is that she did this in a way that got her caught. Who'd think it unusual for a guy on tral for child molestaton to dissapear?

You stole my TV. No proof, but you did it. Off with your head as well.

An allegation of a crime is not proof of a crime!

a reply to: EternalSolace

give it a rest. the mother didn't do it because she "thought" he molested her SEVEN year old daughter.

pretty much every mother agrees with what she did. go preach your stuff somewhere else.

a reply to: ladyteeny

The child, who also wrongly accused her father of rape, had no signs of physical assault, and initially identified her alleged assailant as bald and white.

Custodian falsely accused of child rape sues city for $10M

Look what a false accusation did to this man.

While I can sympathize with why she did it, it doesn't make it right. There's something we have, that the mother doesn't. That is the ability to objectively view the situation. Each and every person in this thread who'd rather see him dead, or punished in any way, before he even went to court is wrong.

a reply to: stumason

Totaly agree....you gotta have absolute proof, and you are right, there have been many false accusations in the past that have ended badly.

If true though, and someone touches my daughters like that....watch the newspapers.

Weird how some people here believe.

It does not matter if he did it or not. It seems that a lot of people here support vigilantism. I've seen that in a lot of threads like this. That is what so scary about it.
