This sounds very painful but does he deserve it?  Thoughts?  At least there are no pictures.

EDIT: It would help if I could spell does right.  Sorry about the title! :)

    The father was in the wrong. I understand him being upset but what he did was disgusting and horrible. Was the 57 year old creepy? yes. Was he breaking any laws? no. Was there even any proof that he was having sex or forcing the 17 year old into sex? Nope. I don't think that the guy deserves to almost bleed to death!

    The father could have done a lot of other things - like being a parent and dealing with his daughter. But he chose to act in a violent manner - he deserves to go to jail.

    No. Isn't the legal age of consent in Europe 16? Even though the age difference gives me the willies, It's not like the guy raped her.

    I think being enraged is no excuse for what he did. Even though its undertandable the father was upset, he still deserves a harsh sentence. If the girl were below 16, then the boyfriend should be in jail as a pedophile.

    That was clearly an over-reaction.

    Sorry this cracked me up for some reason. Anyway, yes it was way overboard and I can't imagine how pissed off you have to be to actually take a bread knife to someone's private's. Save that for true pedophiles not creepy older men who are doing your (of age) daughter.

    Ever since the episode of The Office where Andy freaks out about his cell phone missing and punches a wall the word over reaction makes me giggle a little bit every time I hear it.

    Well I am glad you all agree.  I personally agree with you.  Just because he was older than the father *vomit* doesn't mean that he desreves to loose all that he holds dear for the rest of his life.  My BF on the other hand thinks he does deserve it...though maybe that is because he is a boy and a someday father?

    Whether I agree or not, I just have to say LMAO.

    I am literally laughing out loud in the library during finals.  Getting A LOT of nasty looks, but I can't help it.  People actually castrate other people?

    I don't know why I found this so funny.  Maybe the line "The severed testicles were taken away by the perpetrator."  Really?  What's he gonna do with them??

    Sorry.  Inappropriate.  Back to quiet library time...

    i love that episode....

    I think its disgusting, but i cant say what my reaction would be if i was in his situation and it was my daughter who was "dating' someone 40 years older....i dont think it would castrate him but i sure would kick his tush

    I can see going to his house and screaming at him or even punching him, but that went a little far...

    The fact that is was premeditated.... is funny.  But ya.  Even if my daughter did that I don't think I would do anything that extreme....

    Jac- I am glad this made you laugh... I laughed really hard too.

    I heard this on the radio today, and it was interesting to hear them try to describe the situation without violating FCC rules.

    Anyway, while I think the 57-year-old BF was a sicko to date someone who was only 17, he does not deserve what happened to him. I could understand if maybe the dad and his friends just got together to intimidate him without actually laying a hand on him--it's not really right, but it's much more acceptable than physical violence.
