You guys love siding with the law and say "leave it up to the courts!" in cases like this, disregarding how ****ed up the justice system is the other 90% of the time. The courts gave him 4 years for abusing children, so matters had to be taken into the parents' hands. Drastic? Yes, but completely understandable.

Thank you. The try-hard moral absolutists in here don't seem interested in seeing the bigger picture and acknowledging that this was more than an act of revenge, because this sicko would have surely gone on to abuse more children and his "murderers" did what the legal system failed to do— keep an incurably dangerous person away from society. Vigilante justice tends to be the inevitable outcome of the law failing to punish violent criminals and protect citizens from those criminals.
But hey, it's a lot easier to play holier-than-thou and judge the actions of people whose predicament you could not imagine being in. I hope none of y'all ever have kill someone out of self-defense or you're murderers too.

This is not like a self-defense case.
In one case, you have no choice between killing and getting killed. In the other case, you can simply report him to the police and they'll catch him wherever he is.
You are no one to decide whether 4 years is enough or not. There are other people who have studied law for years and dedicate their lives for deciding what's fair and what's not.
Even if he deserves to die, you have no rights in killing him by your own self, the court is the only place where that should take action.

Exactly The murder victim was trying to run away from the people who would eventually beat him to death. This wasn't self defense, and vengeance isn't justification for murder. The parents who beat the victim knew, or reasonably should have known, that hitting the victim repeatedly with a trumpet could cause great bodily injury or death. They didn't have to hunt him down and murder him, but they chose to do just that. For this reason they deserve whatever charge, conviction and sentence they receive, if they receive any.

While he was clearly a monster,
this should not be celebrated because it was a LOSE/LOSE/LOSE situation.
He LOSES because he is dead.
The parents LOSE because they now have to do time,
and all the children involved not only had to deal with the trauma of sexual abuse,
but now also have parents behind bars for MURDER.
So no, this was NOT a good thing.
& Mess at people saying the parents should get rewarded not jailed,
umm that is a slippery slope. Many people believe gays are just as bad as
pedophiles, and the Orlando shooting was God's work. So no one is above
the law just because "he deserved it" and they did something they thought was the
right thing to do, or else everyone would go by their own code of justice and that would not exactly
work out very well.

I don't know exactly how to feel about this, but the statements above are closer to my sentiments though I know it's not the popular opinion. As someone who was touched as a child, the children of course have all of my sympathy. It's a shame they had to go through the act of molestation and may lose their parents as a result; I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It's also a shame that the parents thought this was the only way, but their actions bring me no joy. I could understand if he was caught in the act, but for them to hunt him down once he got out of jail, kinda changes things for me. He shouldn't have been released in the first place, and these parents should be just as angry at their government for failing these kids, and the school for hiring him to teach kids. I also may be in the minority on this stance as well, but I hope we get to a point in society where pedophiles are open about their thoughts/feelings so that they can get the treatment they need without keeping those thoughts to themselves due to the stigma. I think if they were open and sought help, they would be less likely to act and endanger kids. I really hope the best for these kids though.
