There's no evidence that there's been a significant rise in the number of paedophiles. It's just that people are more educated today, and therefore more likely to report it. Which happily means there has been an increase in the number of prosecutions of the sick bar stewards.

Sadly they've always been here, but years ago the victims felt they had to suffer in silence, unlike today.

Though unfortunately this has also meant there's been an increase in paranoia about child abusers, resulting in many children now being wrapped up in cotton wool. Unable to enjoy the innocent freedoms, enjoyed by previous generations.

I would agree there's been an increase in those parents who are a bit feckless.

The ones sat rolling a joint watching Jeremy Kyle, shortly after rolling out of their pit.

Who when they see a buggy, next to the Play Station and other assorted game consoles, suddenly remember they have their own lickle baby, but can't remember where they last put it.
