I would imagine Denise wouldnt really be very happy with that so carrys on shining the light.
Its easy to be a liberal soft justice exponent when it doesnt effect you. I was probably guilty of that at one time. Then not too far from me a dangerous paedophile was secretively parachuted into a run down estate comunity (thanks probation service!). The residents kicked off like fuck when it became known. I found myself fully understanding there cause. I wont accept adding to any risk to my kids and thats absolute. If thats a problem for paedophiles rehab....fuck em.
Well yes, it does all raise the question of what to do with people convicted of child abuse when they're released. I don't suppose anyone wants them living near them if they have children, but then again, they have to live somewhere.
When one of my brothers moved out of London to the Kent coast he had six step daughters and a biological one, all under the age of 15. After about six months they were told that the bloke who lived next door was a convicted paedophile who had done time.
I was gobsmacked when he told me but surprisingly neither he nor his wife were unduly worried and certainly not freaked out. They said there was little they could do about the situation, they just warned all the girls about him without frightening the life out of them and kept a eye out more than they normally would have done.
They lived there for 9 years and not once did they have any problems with him or the girls. The thing is, despite the hue and cry which follows paedophiles around, most are not the kidnapping murdering, rapists the media and certain groups make them out to be, thats not excusing their behaviour but more being realistic of the dangers they are said to pose.
No one should live in fear of them as if they lurk behind every corner just waiting to snatch your kid, that doesn't happen very often and you can ruin your own life and your kids if you think it does.
All you need to be is vigilant to possible threats just like you would about a busy road or condemned building, not look for them where they probably don't exist.
That's an interesting story TJ. Yes, there is no particular need for hysteria, but paedophilia seems to be rife according to the press, and there have been some high-profile cases in recent years. I think there's a tendency for people to lump all "paedophiles" together, and include those who maybe had consensual sex with a 15-year girl or whatever, and it's really not the same thing.
