A mother appeared on BBC Breakfast to tell a harrowing tale about hunting down and killing a paedophile who abused her son. Sarah Sands gave an emotional interview on the show after taking the law into her own hands which left viewers divided.
In a hard hitting discussion, Sands told presenters that she was left shell-shocked upon finding out that her 12-year-old son had been abused by notorious paedophile Michael Pleasted. The 77-year-old, who had changed his name, was well known around the East London estate where the mother and her family resided, reports the Daily Star.
Sarah explained to presenters Sally Nugent and Jon Kay how her children were affected following the incident with Pleasted. She said: "After the lack of support, in the five weeks leading up to that and the children having to go and testify, they had to go to court because he pleaded not guilty, on top of everything else.
