Should a father who finds out his best friend is sexually abusing his daughter be charged with murder if he takes matters into his own hands? I suppose we can have a debate about it. I don’t think so. And, as it turns out, in the case of one father in Pribrezhnoye, a village in the Samara region of Russia, the court doesn’t believe he should either.

After discovering videos on his friend Oleg Sviridov’s cell phone, the father took Sviridov out into the woods before forcing him to dig his own shallow grave. Now, he maintains that he did this just to scare him, to convince him to turn himself into the police. But during the event, as described by the father, Oleg attempted to attack the father, and in the course of the altercation, took a knife from the man and stabbed himself in the chest after he “realized he had nothing to live for.”

The disgusting pedophile was plopped into the grave and buried, and the father brought the cell phone with the abuse footage to the police, only later admitting to the fight and burying Oleg.

The father will not be charged with Oleg’s murder. Rather, he is being charged with “inciting a person to suicide or attempted suicide by threats or abuse,” which The Sun reports carries a maximum sentence of six years, “but often also leads to non-custodial punishments.”

I hope he gets off with a slap on the wrist. Frankly, regardless of how the incident went down—and I’m more than willing to believe the father—he might have been doing Oleg a favor. Death or life in a frozen prison camp?

If you touch a child, you better be prepared to receive whatever punishment the parents feel like dealing out. And then expect some prison time.
