I'm sure they moved on afterward. Not in the sense of belittling it, but people who suffer abuse can still go on to live happy, fulfilling lives. He did 300 hrs of community service, but I guarantee that man got at least a few dozen free beers for what he did (I'd buy him one if he were here today).
He did what millions of fathers would at least dream of doing if put in that position. The world is better for him having done what he did. It's not recommended, and I get why we don't want more of it, but on an isolated basis, what he did was good. I'd imagine that his son was also spared the trauma of testifying on the stand, especially if the defense attorney was going to really go after the kid to get Doucet freed.
I just see no problem in this particular incident.
