I don't think there is any such thing as "excessive force" when protecting a four year old child from an attack in progress at the hands of a sexual predator.
The question is whether he was really protecting the attack. I find it hard to believe that the predator was continuing to attempt the act after being discovered. It's more than likely that the predator stopped in horror of just being caught and the father taking aggressive action after the fact.
Watch the word "casual acquaintance". So it's okay to let strangers into a so-called party. It's bad parenting all the way and creating an environment for the child to be harmed in the first place.
However, he did the right thing. Some folks don't deserve to live.
Actually the vast majority of molestation is done within a family environment. The notion of stranger danger is pretty archaic and not representative of the fact that aunt mary and uncle joe are far more likely to molest your kids then the guy or woman down the street.

I agree, this is why I have told my kids to pay attention to their gut instinct. If they see someone they know in the WRONG place, like if the next door neighbor shows up at school with some sketchy story about why I couldn't be there and they should go with him, when they know I would never send him, or asks them to go inside his house without me knowing--they need to be on guard.
It's not the strangers, it's the people the kids are either slightly acquainted with that can easily convince them to go somewhere or do something, or people they know quite well like relatives or family friends.
The sad part is you don't want to scare your kids but they need to be educated on what to watch out for.
Good job Dad! This thought always scared me because im a woman I obviously wont be able to conflict much harm with just my hands but I think if I walk up to any normal man on the street pointed at a man and said he just raped/molested my daughter help that man would go beat the living crap out of him.
I hope he isnt charged and if so take it to the jury !!
Huh? Any normal man would beat the crap out of a total stranger based on your say-so?
There is no justification for murder.
If you are cornered and kill someone before they kill you, you did what you
had to do to survive.
That is why this world is so f***ed up the way it is.
Everyone justifies killing in a million scenerios.
Human beings will never learn....war and killing will always be.
