A case that occurred in the United States has sparked intense debate after a father used his 11-year-old daughter’s TikTok account to arrange a meeting with the man accused of sexually abusing the minor and, once he arrived at the location, shot him.
According to the investigation, Malik Chandler, 31, allegedly accessed the girl’s messages after discovering conversations between her and Diego Montoya González, 20. Instead of informing the suspect that he knew what had happened, he decided to continue the conversation while posing as his daughter and convinced him to come to the home.
When the man arrived at the residence, he was met by the father, who shot him. The suspect survived the attack and was later detained by authorities, facing charges related to the alleged abuse of the minor.
The father was also arrested and now faces charges for the shooting. Authorities reminded the public that, although the investigation into the alleged abuse continues, no one can take justice into their own hands.
The case sparked thousands of reactions on social media. While some users said they understood a father’s desperation upon discovering such a serious incident, others argued that responding with violence only complicates the judicial process and could jeopardize the conviction of the true person responsible.
