I am sure that most of you are aware of what "Sarah's law" is all about, In brief, to publicly name and shame sex offenders especially those cases involving children.

There are as many reasons against as there are for a radical law that puts convicted pervs in the public eye.

We have come a long way in changing the law yet hold back on the one thing that exponents of this lobby group demand and that is making known to the public who our next door neighbours are!

In the U.S.A. they have "Megans Law" and ALL states put their pervs on the internet for all to see. Each state has slightly different features on the net but in some cases, they not only name them but give the address,.......even the reg and type of vehicle they drive and of course, a picture!

MEGANS LAW

I must admit, I was fully in support of the idea to name and shame but have the Americans gone over the top? I wonder what vigilante groups are doing with all this information at their disposal. Is Megans Law a recipe for disaster or do the American public use the information solely for the safety of their children?
