You should add, "If you're still alive."

What if all this was a made up story and the dad just wanted to beat the crap out of someone? Of course in the US, everyone believes the first person to speak and the lynch mob is in place in a nanosecond. No idea what happened, but I know enough never to jump to conclusions too fast. Look at all the people claiming JetBlue was a big anti-Semetic airline because some out of control women claimed it. She spoke first and everyone fell for it. Wish we could do better. Lets hear from everyone first.

From what I heard the sexual abuse was going on for three years!

He was a paid babysitter. He obviously wasn't an intruder and that excuse wouldn't fly for a second. That said, I still don't think the father will or, or should be, charged.

So the father entrusted his son to the babysitter and that's how he paid him back? I would be really p****d then.

Why limit this to the USA? It's the same everywhere. Reflects your own bias.

Seems likely you are jumping to conclusions here.

The news articles read that the guy confessed to police that he did it.

So please, don't call us a lynch mob over this incident.

Thanks.

Otherwise, you are correct that some people do jump to preconceived notions without all the facts but this post is best put in those threads.

Sad thing here is that obviously the 18yo has mental illness going on that he couldn't control.

He was a close family friend.

I hope the 11yo pulls through this and the father forgives himself....this crime hurt those two plus many others.

Forgives himself for what?

If you catch the guy in the act, there's nothing "alleged" about it!
