Well, where you come from...maybe dads don't do anything to protect their daughters.
If you read my original reply, Dads DO take care of their own problems. However, there are many options... and calling a friend to help out is not unusual.
What do you think people really talk about over golf, fishing, and lunch? Sometimes it is about a hunting trip or getting together for the big game...sometimes it is about an upcoming job or contract or business connection...sometimes it is about looking out for family members. Maybe its giving someone's kid a break on a first job, or helping an opportunity move in their direction...sometimes it is about looking out for your kids.
Again, this goes on everyday and around the world in one form or another. Smallest village to the biggest city.

A couple people in this thread are just ridiculous, claiming it was statutory rape...
.
California state law says it was statutory rape.
The pertinent information:
Section 261.5.
(a) Unlawful sexual intercourse is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. For the purposes of this section, a "minor" is a person under the age of 18 years and an "adult" is a person who is at least 18 years of age.
(b) Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
So according to this, both of the teens are guilty of a misdemeanor charge of statutory rape.

It seems that we're trying to disagree even though we agree...
I conceed your point of view as I do agree with you and have done as much. What happens in my family, stays in my family.
However, there are those people...dads and moms that would use the powers at hand to "react' to a situation with their daughter....ie..Wanna screw with Maffia Boss's daughter? ...I don't think so. A Cheif of police or Mayor's daughter?...better move away fast. How about a Union Boss...or the head of the KKK...hell, naw.
All I am saying...boys and girls will be boys and girls...always have and always will...and Dads will be Dads...in one fashion or another.
But the Villarruels say that the officer had no permission to intervene with their son, pretend to arrest him or come into their home.
"We thought he was there to arrest our son,'' the boy's mother said. "He was in full cop mode the whole time."
"When first interviewed for this story earlier in the week, police told the Mercury News that there was no specific written policy that dealt with officers investigating cases in which there is a personal conflict. The Mercury News has since discovered a policy that states officers "will avoid becoming officially involved in quarrels or disputes occurring in their own neighborhoods, unless the incident involves an immediate threat to human life."
There is also a section of the officer's code of ethics which states: "I will never act officiously or permit personal feelings, prejudices, animosities, or friendships to influence my decisions."
The teenage boy later wrote down his thoughts about the traumatic day: "My mind keeps playing back the words 'piece of (expletive).' I don't know if that is true or not. I'm constantly being mean to my little cousin ... abusing my power. Like what (the officer) did. But I don't want to be like that."

Explanation: I had a very long talk with a close contact after I posted to this thread and they gave me some welcomed perspective... maybe the cop was asked by the boys parents to scare him straight...maybe the boys parents are friends of the cop???
"The part that disturbs me the most is there is a man in a uniform with his hand on the gun towering over a kid and telling him that he was stupid to mess with a cop's daughter," Tony Boskovich, an attorney representing the boy's family, said. "What right does he have to use his uniform, his gun, his handcuffs if all he is is a dad?''
Terry Bowman, the lawyer representing the officer, said: "Most people can understand how this father felt and why he did what he did. It is a shame if the young man's parents lose sight of the importance of the message because they have chosen to focus on what the girl's father was wearing."

I have 2 daughters and possible another on the way, I swear to God, if any boy or man tries to do this #... it wont just be a scare. There will be missing persons reports filed.
He was able to scare both his daughter and the boy, possibly saving them from teen pregnancy or other problems.
This was HIS daughter, not yours.

hmm according to that doesnt mean both are guilty of a misdemeanor..As it states " an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator" none of these kids were more than 3 years older from each other... they are still within the age range,very very very close. 14 and 15 (less than one year apart, from a few weeks to a few months within just one year)
