Odd News?

DELTONA, Fla. - An angry Deltona father whacked his teenage daughter's boyfriend with a metal pipe after finding the boy naked in his daughter's room. Authorities say the father, 45, didn't even know his daughter had a boyfriend or that the youngster had been sneaking into the home for more than a year.

When he heard noises coming from his daughter's bedroom Thursday morning and saw a stranger standing naked on the girl's bed, he swung a metal pipe. He then chased the teen out the front door and called police.

The boy was taken to the hospital where doctors closed a head wound with staples.

The father was charged with aggravated battery on a child and bonded out on $10,000.

A couple of points:

1) I would hardly classify this as odd news. I don't have any stats on me at hand, but it would be safe to assume that many youngsters are engaging in sex outside of marriage and without their parents' knowledge especially in post-Christian America.
2) If I were the father, I probably would have reacted the same way. God willing, I would try to be a little more involved in my parenting and not let it escalate to this point.
3) Legal age of consent is 16 years old in Florida. I don't understand how they can classify someone that engages in adult behaviour as a child. And if they were under the age of 16, the article states that they have been doing the nasty for more than a year. So that means if they are under 16 and can't be named...they started when they were 14?!?!?! In which case, the dad is in every right to slap a chastity belt on the girl and smack the guy upside the head. But... the dad gets charged?
4) To the Dad: Geez man, don't you know what's going on in your own house?
