Re: sex pests ...

i asked my friend in america if they named and shamed where he lived and heres his reply.

quote:

Yep, they have to register as a sex offender. Anyone can go on the web and look them up. At least they can in Florida anyway.

end quote


now if it works for them why should we not be able to look up their pictures and details as they have guns ontop of everything else and not many get shot

Apparently it doesn't work. The sicko's have gone underground. Children are still being abused. Megan's Law, as it is called was a vote winner for Clinton, it made people feel safer, but there has been no drop in reported abuse where it is enforced.

Re: sex pests ...

We do have a register in this country too, but at the moment it is confidential (ish)

Let me give you an example of how somebody can inadvertantly end up on this register.

An 18 year old boy has sex with a 14 year old girl. She has told him that she is 17 and he has no reason to doubt that. She becomes pregnant and her parents find out, they subsequently complain to the police in retaliation as he is shirking his responsibilities. Although he thought that this was consensual sex it cannot be considered consensual when one party is under 16. He is subsequently charged with having sex with a minor. His name is entered on the register. His life is ruined, he turns 30, gets married and his wife gets pregnant. Social services become involved because he is a known sex offender, there are case conferences and meetings, he is not allowed to be left alone with his own child.

This example is not far fetched, I have seen very similar happen. I'm not saying that genuine offenders should not be named, but people must realise that not everybody on that register is an actual offender. There are circumstances similar to the above where people have ended up on that register due to a mistake made when young. I will pose a question to all of our members here. How many of you had sex under the age of 16 or with someone under the age of 16 when you were teenagers? Do you think that you deserve to be on the register?

Re: sex pests ...

well i dont know about you guys but i have come to the conclusion that the only good peodophile is a dead peodophile

they commit horrific acts and get more support than the victims

if i was on a jury in a case involving a father who got his hands on his childs attacker i would vote not guilty regardless of what evidence was presented and urge the rest of the jury to do the same

i know vigilantism is frowned upon but in the cases of convicted child abusers the law is inadiqate and ime all for the parents seeking retribution if only as a means to take out frustation and angish giving their childs attacker a good kicking would probably do them more good than sitting with a councilor and talking about it

all i can say is god have mercy on anyone who seeks to harm any of my children because i will show none and witnesses tend not to be as keen to come forward to support pedophiles

Thumbs down Re: sex pests ...

Their hearts were in the right place? They kick the crap out of a children's doctor, and it's ok because the mob were too thick to read!

Re: sex pests ...

they set out with good intentions ie: kick crap out of a pervert

like you said its unfortunate they were too thick to know the difference between a peodphile and a paedeotrician

hence the use of the smiley when i posted what i did

Re: sex pests ...

it's true that story. does anyone else remember the much publisised witch hunts in portsmouth and southampton a couple of years ago? vigilantism can give way to mob rule and we all end up knackered then.
i do agree with chav about the death penalty for convicted paedophiles though.

Re: sex pests ...

i know there are cases where children have lied but ime refering the death penalty be implimented for the more horiffic cases like rape of a 1 year old or a 6 month old baby

they cant tell lies so these people who do these acts should be executed in my opinion

Yeah l remember Stan, it was after the NOTW published photos on its front page, after 2 weeks they had to stop.
Hope none of your kids grow up to be pedicurists! Well, it's close enough for a kicking.
