Perhaps some evidence would be nice? One persons word against another. Need more detail really. As a possible alternative-Perhaps the beaten up person caught the father doing something he shouldn't, and the father tries to cover his tracks. Many potential scenarios that preclude a conclusion - at least for me. I don't agree or disagree with your view or stance, at this stage. One would hope the police would complete a proper investigation before drawing and publicising a conclusion like the one allegedly described.
If you read it in its entirety the father caught him commiting a sexual act against his child the offender admitted in interview abusing the child over 3 years so as far as that goes fairly conclusive and having engaged with these individuals for over 9 years sometimes just sometimes it would be nice that their own cognitive distortions surrounding their abuse were diminished and natural justice took place. Unless of course that is not following due process and we infringe upon their own rights? Next you will no doubt spout the long held misbelief that he was probably abused himself as a child?????
Was and did 14 years of which the last 8 years I managed child sex offenders and qualified as a forensic psychologist of child sex offenders in the forensic risk assessment and interview of offenders. So does that mean that as a father of a 9 yr old Son I cannot have any feelings around this?
i am off the opinion he is lucky to be alive. i am quietly confident you could kill him and get away with it.
