Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

So what do we do? Please think carefully!

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

Castrate them!:)

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

seems to me this is just a way of excusing child molesting by saying its a medical condition ........"its not my fault, I have a medical condition , give me a pill and I wont do it again " total rubish .... if they are locked away they dont need any medications , and if they are medicated and out on the streets where is the punishment ?

:eek: :eek:

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

There is some talk that the names of people who are working alone with children will be available for parents to check if they have any convictionc for sexual offences, however, I don't think this will be workable....for a variety of reasons......the police freely admit they do not have the manpower to conduct investigations and this was proved with the Ian Huntley case.
Humberside police knew he had been accused of sexual offences against a minor, but failed to convey this to the police force where Huntley later went to work as a school caretaker.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

In America the sex offender register is open to everyone and it doesn't do a damn thing. I think that if we are going to discuss the subject though we should realise that with every crime there are differing degrees. I would personally shoot a man that rapes a child but where do you draw the line? And what lines should we as the people draw? It's easy to say castrate them all but do we ever think about individual cases? There is a difference between kissing you daughter on the forehead and french kissing her. Would anybody care to define the limits. I know what is right and wrong and obviously the paedophiles don't. Shouldn't we prevent before we prosecute?

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

No-one (to my knowledge) is talking about de-criminalising sexual offences.
What they ARE talking about is delivering a medical treatment which will remove sexual urges from these men.....but only to those who volunteer for the treatment....and I can't see that being many.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

And there is no talk of the paedophiles who opt for treatment being let out of jail earlier because they have opted for treatment......well, not at this stage anyway.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

Piltymon have you any thoughts on how to prevent before prosecuting.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

I think that you missed my point. I'd rather see them more criminalized. What they do is heinous but, there are different levels of each offence. I think we're passed take em out and flog them are we not?

I personally would make the injections of the inhibitor compulsory but, who do you inject?

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

The point I was making was in response to the post by steeljack....
and in answer to your question 'who do we inject'.....i suppose the logical answer would have to be anyone who is found guilty of such an offence.
At least chemical castration is not final......and if proved wrong, libido would return once the medication was stopped......now surgical castration would be the end for the offender.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

Regarding the register, I think it would give me peace of mind, I'd certainly like to know if a convicted paedophile lived close enough to be watching my kids but I also understand that there are people out there who haven't been convicted so really you never know.
I dont think anyone kissing their daughter on the forehead would ever be called a paedophile I think the limits are common sense and are anything of a sexual nature. I agree with Steeljack paedophiles should be properley charged and locked up. I'm not convinced that paedophiles would volunteer for chemical castration.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

if they are caught the shud have there thing chopped off dirty paedophiles

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

I'm not trying to be facicious here but, what offence? Molestation? Rape? Buggery?

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

But chopping off their 'thing' as you put it would not abate their sexual desires, and they could still sexually abuse a child by other means......chemical castration means that their sexual desires are diminshed or wiped out.....that is a huge difference.

Re: Paedophiles and Chemical castration.
 

I think they are all sexual offences and all should carry the same sentance.
