And the last words you would hear is man overboard whispered as soft as I could.Not the kind of story that I want to hear because I'm currently dating a girl about the same age as my son.
Her dad is 3 years younger than me. I haven't met him yet...
I have no issue with this what-so-ever... Bastard got what he deserved...http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/12/14/angry-dad-castrates-daughters-boyfriend-with-bread-knife/
Helmut Seifert, a 47-year old in Bielefeld, northwest Germany, grew angry when he learned his 17-year old daughter was involved with an older man. He asked local police to intervene, but they have no authority to end consensual relationships.
"The man was forced to remove his trousers and, fully conscious, he was castrated," police said. "The severed testicles were taken away by the perpetrator."
Doctors will not be able to reattach his organs.
This doen't have to be as bad as it looks....If I was dating a woman 40 years old, I too could be older than her father......Whats so bad there?????Not the kind of story that I want to hear because I'm currently dating a girl about the same age as my son.

Well, the German authorities thought he was unlikely to reoffend. Given that it's 17 years later, and nothing more has been heard from him, maybe they were right? Kind of expensive to lock people up, and so only good sense not to do it if it isn't necessary.Germany is pretty lenient. I'm not sure that the guy who tried to kill Monica Seles even went to jail.
I think the issue would be that they left him to die, almost bleeding to death. Most people don't realize how much blood flow is present, and chopping someones balls off is likely to cause death from blood loss.Not a lawyer her or in Germany but wouldn't that charge of attempted murder be difficult to prove? The guy had a knife in his hand and ample opportunity to murder the guy but only maimed him.
As Cassini already posted, leaving someone to bleed to death certainly rises to Attempted Murder. However, you are correct that in most of North America he could alternatively have been charged with Aggravated Assault with elevating factors which would have made the potential sentence range in the same range as Attempted Murder.Not a lawyer her or in Germany but wouldn't that charge of attempted murder be difficult to prove? The guy had a knife in his hand and ample opportunity to murder the guy but only maimed him. I can see a charge of aggravated assault, forcible confinement and conspiricay to commit both. All of which likely have significant sentences available considering the premeditation.
+1. In a common law jurisdiction, the state could not prove mens rea for attempted murder.As Cassini already posted, leaving someone to bleed to death certainly rises to Attempted Murder.

Hardy-har-har.The father will most certainly be charged. However the case will be thrown out of court because the evidence would not stand up.
But don't you believe that leaving him there to "bleed out" might rise to a sufficient state of 'depraved mind'? Of course, another interesting addition in some jurisdictions would be Aggravated Attempted Murder, since there was an element of torture involved.+1.

+1nothing personal but i would break your legs if it was my kid.
I know you weren't commenting to me but.....................yes it does matter to me.If she were 18 or 19 would your reaction be the same?
Spoken by someone without children.So a 57yo guy is seeing a 17yo girl? And several of the posters here think it's ok for the father to cut the guy's balls off with a breadknife. they say that's what they themselves would do in his position!
does this make you despair of the human race? is there any hope for our culture, if we instil our scum with so fragile a hold on the basic principles of morality and justice?
The relationship was consensual, according to police. So whose business is it, but the couple's own? You might not be deliriously happy for your daughter to be in such a relationship, but if that's what she wants, hey.
do you realize, we actually know of several people (e.g simon482, onthebottom, mac-eng1985), here, on this board, who, if their daughter were to date someone they don't approve of, would willingly castrate the guy!
Thank you god for arranging the world so that I am not beholden to pondlife like that. My commiserations to those not so fortunate.
You probably meant youngest.+1
I have 2 daughters and while I don't see myself cutting his balls off I do see a rather biblical beatdown and several broken body parts in any 57 year old man's future if he tried to "see" either of my girls.
I know you weren't commenting to me but.....................yes it does matter to me.
Half your age + 8 that's the formula we should all go by when in a relationship
He is 57? divide by 2 = 29 + 8 = the oldest woman a 57 year old man should have a relationship with is 37
Hence my editing of my OP but thanks for the grammar lesson.You probably meant youngest.
It wasn't a grammar lesson, I was merely pointing out that you had mis -typed, but since you took it the wrong way, you still haven't edited the mistake:Hence my editing of my OP but thanks for the grammar lesson.

Hence, I am 38 so the youngest woman I should date would be 27
If everyone held to this formula the civilized world would be a better place IMHO
