Kudos to the mom that done what she thought was right…..If my child had molested an innocent child I would have beat the crap out of him too with anything that was near….in this case it just happened to be an extension cord.

To Thinker,
What in the hell is wrong with you? No sexual experimentation with the same sex is not normal during childhood. This also was not a child, it was a grown young man that molested a child. It is your exact disillusioned mindset that has our prisons full and our streets unsafe.

Why to go MOM!!! Although she should have been going this earlier, and possibly the son would not be in the position he is in now. Totally support your actions in this case.

Someone must have let the son out on BOND and released back into her custody. He might of thought I would be safer in jail. I told mine two, if you call me at night from jail, I might see you the next morning, and if it is the weekend, see you on Monday.

The law needs to caught up with society. 17 is no longer a child, due to the exposure of what is availabe on TV, movies and games. The age of and adult should be around 16, when the parents no longer know exactually where their “off-spring” are all of the time. I know that a drivers license does not constitute wisdom, but If you do not know right from wrong by then, you deserve to be treated as an adult.

Isn’t it ironic that his mother was charged with cruelty towards a child yet, he was charged as an adult for the crime he may have committed?? I seriously hope mercy is shown on his mother because if my child were charged with this type of crime I would lose my cool too….this type of crime aside from murder has to be the worst there is.

>>Why post a pictureof the victim? I thought the state of Florida protected against this.

The identity of sex abuse victims is protected. The articles does not identify the young sex abuse victim. The 17-year is charged identified because he is charged with a felony and charged as an adult.

Maybe I’m old school, but I don’t have a problem with what the dude’s mom did. I trust parents to mete out justice a lot more than I trust the state.

Besides, if this guy goes to prison, he’ll be begging to be back home with momma after Bubba gets through with him.

A woman is charged with cruelty towards a child. A child who is being tried as an adult. Makes as much sense as most things that are happening in this country of late.

This may be a stupid question and I may regret asking it, but when I went back to the first story that reported the boy’s arrest, the commenters made the statement several times that the boy was a “ward of the state”. Can someone please show me where either article states that? I simply don’t see it.

deBugger,

Your “take” on this situation is a little skewed. In case you didn’t read it carefully enough to see this the first time, the victim was 11 or younger, could be 5 for all we know. This was not sexual confusion or naughtiness. This was flat out rape.

Hi5,

Again, (and pay attention this time please) it is NOT, I repeat NOT, illegal to whip your child in the state of Florida as long as you do not leave marks that last for more than 24 hours after the whipping.

If my child were accused of such as this, I would not believe it unless he/she confessed it to me. If he/she confessed it, I too would beat that kid, probably within an inch of his/her life. Having been molested as a child, I know exactly what the victim endures and the perpetrator is deserving of every bit of whatever beating the parent inflicts.
