Two Fathers Who Should Be Rewarded

These two stories are about fathers who need to be handed plaques.

In the first story, a man awakes to his 17 year old daughter screaming. Seems she woke up to see a naked man standing over her bed. The 52 year old pervert was a registered sex offender whose uncle owns the house the family was renting. He was wearing nothing but gloves and a mask, and he was holding a knife, condoms and rope. The 64 year old father grappled with the intruder while the mother called police. The would be rapist suffered an apparent heart attack and died during the struggle. Police are investigating (WHY?) but they say charges against the hero are "unlikely."

Someone get that Dad a trophy.

In the second story, a 45 year old father in Florida hears noises in his daughter's bedroom. Opening the door, he sees a naked boy standing there. He hits him with a metal pipe and chases him out. The boy winds up at the hospital where they use staples to close the head wound. The dad was unaware the boy had been sneaking into the girl's bedroom for over a year. The father was arrested for aggravated battery.

The only thing the man should have been charged with was being an idiot when it comes to knowing who is sneaking into his house. Drop the battery charges and tell him to pay more attention to his family.

If I ever find a naked stranger in my daughter's bedroom, I doubt that I would hesitate while taking the time to consider that I might be arrested.
