Mugshot of guy caught sexually abusing an 11 year old boy--after dad got done with him



Daytona Beach father beat an 18-year-old man unconscious after finding him sexually abusing his 11-year-old son early Friday morning, police said.

The father called 911 around 1 a.m. after he walked in on the alleged abuse, police said. When officers arrived, they found Raymond Frolander motionless on the living room floor. He had several knots on his face and was bleeding from the mouth.

"He is nice and knocked out on the floor for you," the father told the 911 dispatcher. "I drug him out to the living room."

According to the arrest affidavit, Frolander admitted the abuse.

I'm pretty sure that subject line is right around the max length.

That brings me to a change I'd like to see...the addition of tagging like used at Discussionist. It would allow people to tag posts apart from the subject line and allow other people to choose tags to hide. (I think I'm going to suggest that in ATA.)

Most fathers who have a gun would have just shot the guy. But if that rapist happened to have a handgun himself in a pocket, the father could have been shot during the fight.

Maybe it's just me being careful or paranoid, but I assume everyone has a weapon these days. Cops operate under the same assumption.

Fri Jul 18, 2014, 05:48 PM
Jul 2014

This sort of thing would be less common, and people would not be applauding the father's actions. I will not applaud this violence, but I do deplore a legal system that fails to deal appropriately with sexual assault, particularly against children.

How many times have we heard people say this sort of rape isn't "forcible" and therefore not as bad. Remember what people are talking about when they make such claims. They are talking about children who don't have the strength to physically resist, who are more easily intimidated by adults. This is the "non-forcible" rape people talk about. Perhaps if Americans stopped making such troubling distinctions, stopped insisting "non-forcible" (typically meaning on a minor) rape wasn't as big of a deal, we could start to improve things and rely on the courts rather than angry fathers for justice.

And what of the children without angry fathers? Who seeks justice for them?

The perp also seems likely to be a family member of some sort, otherwise why would an 18 year be around an 11 year old (or a 15 year old boy around an 8 year ld boy). I certainly hope the boy receives treatment for what he has been through.

Your idea is a plausible explanation, however, it seems the yonger boy was alone with that predator too many times.

I don't care if he is only 18, this man needs to do serious time while getting treatment. I live in Minnesota and there is a separate facility for these types of crimes where the perps are incarcerated but also get treatment.

you may want to edit the post to use another word than even the altered form of "b_tch" as it's likely to be alerted on, it's a fairly-established no-no here unless its use is necessary by some circumstance rendering it unavoidable. The same is true of "c_nt", other misogynistic slurs and any homophobic slur. (Not that you used a homophobic slur but I figured if I was pointing out the issues with verbiage, I should cover it all.)

(I'm not going to alert. You're new here, but I felt it should be noted so you could edit.)

If you're looking for a situational-appropriate replacement word, "pedophile asshole" would pass muster. Nobody is likely to dispute that he is or be offended by its use.

if someone would have abused one of us kids as we were growing up he would have met the same fate. If someone was to abuse my grand daughter I'm not sure I would be able to contain my anger as this father was able too. I can live with pretty much anything except abuse of any kind to any one. Simply cannot tolerate it at all.

Don't fuck with my family, friends or pets, me thats another story. I was bullied as a kid and what brought the mean out on me and ultimately stopped the bullying was when I witness a bunch of kids bullying my younger brother and his friend. Six of them and I kicked all six of their sorry asses, one at a time, one after the other.

SHINER, Texas -- Hearing his 5-year-old daughter crying from behind a barn, a father ran and discovered the unthinkable: A man molesting her. The father pulled the man off his daughter, authorities say, and started pummeling him to death with his fists.

With his daughter finally safe, the father frantically called 911, begging a dispatcher to find his rural ranch and send an ambulance.

"Come on! This guy is going to die on me!" the man is heard screaming on the 911 call. "I don't know what to do!"
