What would you do to someone who sexually molested your child?

An item of news recently was about a six year old girl who was molested by a teeange boy (19 year old I believe). The mother related that she was giving the child a bath in the evening when she noticed the child wincing when she attempted to wash her privates. She asked the child what was wrong and the child said nothing was. She then took the child inside and inspected her, noticed some bruising and took the child to the doctor where it was revealed that she was molested. The case was referred to the police to whom the child related what had happened to her and who had done it. Now this made the news as the relatives of the child were very angry that shortly after being taken into custody the child's molester who is a neighbour was released and could be seen around the community. Now I know I would have been more than hopping mad. What would you have done if you were in this woman's shoes? Sometimes the justice system just seems to punish the victims more than it does the offenders and its just not fair. The child was traumatised and you know that is something else that the mother and relatives will have to cope with and try their best assist the child. It must be all the more difficult with the molester living right next door. Would you have been tempted to take matters into your own hands or would you have kept at the lawmen to do something about it? I believe that situations like these are just so hard to deal with and that those who hurt children really ought to be severly punished.
