Stupid people raise stupid kids. Or stupid kids have stupid parents, take your pick.
Yes and stupid kids get shot at 2am when they are in a mans home.
Why didn't the stupid parents have their son at home at 2am ?
Sounds like his parents could carry some of the blame for their Minor Son being out this late possibly assaulting a family when they are asleep.
We are convinced that one of the characteristics of the end of the 20th century is that many California 16-year-olds are mature enough to be left in charge of their home -
I don't think that's "goer" if the Dad is Atheist, Satanist, Buddha, Muslim, <insert any name you want here>....
I'm atheist and a Dad, and I would permit my kids to entertain a significant other in their room, if it was legally permissible (as in this case it would be) and if they were safe and responsible.
Another thing to possibly consider, if the daughter is a minor, then she had no right to invite anyone in without her fathers permission.
This argument will hold no legal water. If this were true then I must have committed breaking and entering hundreds of times as a kid, as I went over might friends houses all the time without explicit written consent of their parents. I'm just glad one of their parents never came home and shot me in the head at the very moment they spotted me.
This incident is proof to me. My kids come to me and say my daughter has a boy in her room, who grabs a gun?
Evidently this stupid man and who then shots an unarmed teen.
Had he known the kid had no gun, I doubt he would have shot, but the kid made a fatal mistake after being warned not to move, he reached for something, I may have shot also.
1) Daughter lied about not knowing intruder (similar to cases where daughter has sex with man, is found out and later claims rape) - I personally think she should be charged with something here
2) Father @ 2am witnesses stranger in daughters bed who does or does not move - In Texas the self defense laws are much more lenient and I am pretty sure the grand jury will not indict
3) Personal civil liability - if any exists here it lies squarely on the daughter

An enraged father with a gun asks his teen daughter if she snuck in her boyfriend and had sex with him, what do you expect her to say????
People live in fantasy land, the girl was obviously afraid, and for good reason.
Trying reading the rest of the thread. He was implying since the girl was 16 it was rape regardless of consent. This is flat out not true if the other party is a minor. Age of consent only applies when one party is a non-minor.
Actually he could've been 18 or a young 19 and still been in the clear according to the TX law that was cited earlier.
