DAVIE - The father of a 3-year-old allegedly molested by a family friend may get a harsher penalty than the alleged offender police say he and a neighbor severely beat.
Thirty-eight-year-old Luke Petruschke was so badly hurt in the weekend attack he had to be placed in a medically induced coma. Police say 27-year-old Manuel Vega and a friend tried to make it look like he was in a car accident.
The boy's grandmother says Vega is a good dad who just "lost it."
If he recovers, police say Petruschke will face charges of lewd and lascivious molestation.
Vega and 43-year-old Krish Carter were being held without bond on attempted murder charges.
The Couey/Lunsford case hurt me personally for some reason
unlike no other. There was something about that little girl
and the way that she died that really tore me up and still
does.
Well, being of Scottish descent, I’m to ch...er...thrifty to buy PJs, so in my undies I type. I am modest enough to wear my robe...
Good evening, good sir, or ma’am.
Sounds to me like the father and his friend processed the perv just fine
This kind of stuff is why so many on the thread were ready to string up the accused molester:

I’m afraid that I would need lots of prayer and supervision if this child had been close to me. Once the creep gets out of jail, that is.
I’d at least make it very inconvenient for this guy to do anything past his front door, even check his mailbox.
Still, that is an emotional reaction. Perhaps a more appropriate action would be to string up the prosecution!
