Mother-of-five killed paedophile, 77, for abusing her three sons
Sarah Sands went to the home of Michael Pleasted, 77, in a neighbouring block of flats in east London and stabbed him eight times in 2014 after discovering he had abused her three young sons.
Justifiable homicide in my book.
Totally agree. He was a known paedophile to police but not to the community, he was able to change his name and had unfettered access to kids. For a man in his 70s who had been an habitual abuser her actions finally put an end to it. She did society a favour.
Get her a medal.
I call that Justice served. Give her a medal.
Hung jury. No crime here.

Protect your kids. You can't fix these guys.
Look at it as a preventative... He can't abuse anyone from the grave...
I was sitting in a large apartment lobby, waiting to go upstairs and meet a friend. A little girl, about 3 or 4, walked up to me and asked what book I was reading. We started a nice little chat, while I glanced around for her parent. There was a man that looked like he could be her dad on the other side of the lobby, maybe 50 feet away. I ask her if that’s her dad, she says yes. We keep chatting. Dad’s been on his phone. Then she asks what I’m doing in the lobby. I tell her I’m going upstairs to see a friend. She asks if she can come with me. I say let’s go talk to your dad. I gather her and my belongings and we go see dad, still glued to his phone. I introduce myself, explain why I’m there, and say that his precious baby girl just asked to go somewhere with a stranger. He looked blank for a second or two, then he looked like he saw a ghost. He sincerely thanked me, and I walked back to where I had been sitting. I could hear him talking to her, and then she started wailing. She was getting in trouble with dad. But dad was the one that dropped the ball. He didn’t teach her not to wander off and ask strangers to let them take her places. AND HE WASN’T WATCHING HIS OWN SMALL DAUGHTER IN A LARGE PUBLIC PLACE, with strangers and cars everywhere, with banks of elevators. She could have vanished in an instant, and never been seen alive again. That was a very, very creepy experience. Hold on to your kids. Watch them like hawks.
She should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award. But then she would have to wait until we have an actual President.
(Yes, I understand that this is in England)
Hell yea momma!!!
From the article:
"...the boys were asked if they were happy Pleasted had died. They replied immediately, and in unison: 'Oh yeah, definitely'."
Hell yeah 👍
In a just world, the judge, the prosecutor and all the arresting cops would have been dragged out into the street and stomped into bloody mud puddles before that mother stepped foot in court.
A Time to Kill.
How did her three little kids get anywhere near this guy. Not saying it's her fault but you cant leave your kids alone anywhere.
Good on her for destroying the monster. Id do the same. Not sure how she couldnt get off for trauma induced unsanity. Id be insane if i found that out and seeing red.
No one knew as he was able to change his identity. They lived in council flats and she cooked for him and ran errands for him.
I still wouldnt leave my kids alone with a man which i assume she must have at some point.
Any man could be a potential rapist. Just because they arent on a list yet just means they havent been caught.
Although im not sure what a council flats is, is that a british thing?
Hell some woman cant trust their own husbands. That would be the worst
She is a good mama bear, but not all are... In Northern Thailand people let a child go south with people for work. Everyone, but the child knows its sex work. The parents sacrifice their children to feed the others.
In the Philippines a paedo might get salvaged by the police, relatives, or neighbors. It can also go the other way if the paedo has family with money. Seen both those cases happen when I lived there. My wife's Son tipped off the NPA about the fellow with family money. Not sure if the NPA handled it yet...
Mother of the Year, everyone! I mean that sincerely.
Well done, Mom.
This is the way.
So in other words she a contender for the Nobel prize?
Wood Chipper?
Vigilante street justice occurs when the populace has nothing left to lose. Tick toc.
