This incident happened at Orchard Road, where a passerby witnessed a father of a girl(pictured in white above) pushed another man to the ground, kicking and hitting him while calling him a molester. The man was believed to have molested his daughter.
After reading the article, i felt that it would not be an appropriate way to handle this situation. Although the man who molested the girl may be arrested, but the father may also be charged for assaulting. Also, the girl might have the wrong impression and assumed that problems could be solved using violence.
Furthermore, as a father of a child, he should have used a more matured way to solve the problem. For example, he could have hold down the man and call the police immediately. No parents in this world would want their precious child to get hurt and would protect them by all means. However, whether it was deliberate or not, the father should not be that impulsive.
Nowadays, people like to resort to violence when solving problems, which led to an increasing number of cases regarding injuries and death. A good example to illustrate this would be the recent murder case of 19 year old student Darren Ng.
