Street Justice: Public beats up child molester

According to a video posted on LiveLeak, a party was on to celebrate the birthday of a five-year-old girl in Rio de Janeiro. The mother could not find her other daughter so she went looking for her six-year-old girl, reports UK daily Metro.

The mother was horrified to find her daughter in the clutches of a man and being abused in one of the other rooms in the house where the party was on. It is not clear whether the man was known to the family or how he gained entry into the house.

The mother raised an alarm and the other guests got together with people from outside the house in the Complexo de Alemão and met out some brutal 'street justice' to the paedophile.
