First, do you think this type of response yields the most positive results. If you believe that risking jailtime for yourself is an appropriate response, then there is nothing really to argue about. I feel the a response of allowing the judicial system to handle it allows me to be there. I try to put myself in the postion of the child. Would I rather my daddy kick the guy's *** and risk going to jail/losing his job/etc. or would I rather have my daddy there to hold on to and make me feel secure when I feel most vulnerable?
See that is the perspective I take. That by being there, I can provide the security and comfort they need when they need it most.If I ended up in jail, can I really provide that? I wouldn't think a six year old would understand that daddy's in jail because he beat up the child molester. I think they would only know their daddy isn't there when they need them the most.
