"Once the accused was in custody, the fatherly duty was to help in the healing of the child, not committing murder."
Double naught-I do understand where you're coming from in your statement and to a large extent agree with you. If there is a saving grace for the child, he knows without a doubt that the person who abused him so unspeakably is DEAD, and can never harm him again. That could also be construed as helping to heal the child.
We may never know what kind of emotional state the child was brought back in. I thank the good Lord, Buddha, terra-firma and anyone else's name I can invoke that none of my children ever had to experience what this child did.
Could be that the child had nightmares which pushed the father over the edge. I could see myself there as the father of 4. Bad enough the child was raped repeatedly, but when your kid calls out to you for help, you will take on hell itself bare handed.
I believe the father should have been provided the mental help he needs instead of a court appearance. It is easy to talk about what you would do in a situation, but think about the rage and the helplessness most parents are going to feel in a situation like this. Some of this child abduction is forseeable, yet we hear cases a lot where a trusted friend of the family turns out to be fertilizer material.....
