Should the father in this case have been charged with any crime?

Story in a nutshell: An 18-year old man was caught molesting an 11-year old boy by the victim's father, who then severely beat him and knocked him unconscious before calling 911. The 18-year old molester was just sentenced to 25 years, the father was never even charged with any crime.

I vote no because I'd say it wasn't excessive force. As brutally as he beat the guy he did so only until he was unconcious and posed no threat. So he basically used extreme force but what was needed to secure his and his son's safety.
