^^ This guy rang in on a radio station and said he was a paedophile. So his son got taken away from him.
My arguement is that while the kid's safety is the priority but isn't incest and paedophillia completely different things? From reading that article I honestly don't think the risk was assessed properly and how the authorities dealt with him in the past and now is absolutely disgusting.
This makes me wonder who the real sickos are. I wonder....
It enrages me how people are so fucking pre-historic about the issue of paedophillia. Take for example Sarah's Law/Megan's Law. I think that it would achieve the opposite and have really messed up consequences.
For one naming and shaming paedophiles is simply pushing the whole thing underground making paedophiles harder to monitor. The would be paedophile will have feelings of low self-esteem, low self-worth, exclusion and isolation that are all common before offending behaviour, sooo when you single this person out of the community and say "you'll never be welcome here," you're giving them license to shrug and offend again. It can disrupt treatment programmes they're on, if they're scared to go out, or they don't see the point but basically excluding them is the worst thing you can do.
Any views?
P.S. I hardly ever post in here so please be patient!

I was restrained to a bed. My pants and underwear were lowered and my penis put in an open pair of scissors by the facility staff and Adolescent Program Director. I was told that they should cut my penis off. This was in 1985 and it has never gotten better.

I fucking hate pedophiles and pedophilia but I understand that with some of them they can't help it and don't really "act" on it.
But on the other hand I have a son that is nearly two years old and understand the love he talks about, if my son were to be taken away from me tomorrow I would completely lose the fucking plot.
I think they took the right precautionary measures.
:yes:
But if you were a parents, wouldn't you like to know whether a paedophile was living in the same area as you?
family members. it overplays stranger danger, and underplays incestual paedophila.
For the purpose of what?
Nail bombing their house?
I'm sure there are plenty of paedophiles where I live. Many not yet known to the police.
You mean for some people it can just be a 'one-off' thing and that's it?
As much as you'd like to it's going to be pretty hard to protect your child from the big bad wolves in the area. Paedophiles do leave the house and while raping your kid may not be on their my mind 24/7 I do understand why they are obviously a threat. What is so bad about teaching your children about stranger danger rather than when they see the suspected paedo in an anorak to cross the road?
Knowing where sex offenders live will invariably lead to them being attacked by vigilantes and hate mobs. They will be driven underground. And the police will cease to know their whereabouts. That's not good at all.
And in any case, what difference does it make whether you know if there are any paedophiles in your neighbourhood? What's stopping a paedophile who is intent on molesting a child from travelling to your area from 20, 30, 50 miles away?
Nothing is.
And what was that artical about, the guys a self confessed paedophile and then he's suprised that his son gets taked away from him, hes a NAMBLA member ???? whats his wife on ??
Its like me being a a self confessed arsonist and wondering why I couldnt get a job as a fireman.
Did anybody make sence of that artical I think theres a lot that guys not mentioning.
if they didnt take the child away, and then it turned out his child had been abused, it would have been awful that authorities new about it, but just thought hed probably be alright.
With heterosexual people or homosexual people, its fairly easy to get their sexual needs met. Everyone has sexual needs! Someone whos sexual fantasies revolve around small children, arent a safe bet when it comes to childcare.
Well they are as they cant satisfy that sexual desire legaly like a normal hetro/home sexual person can. They have a desire to do something illegal for which there is no legal substitute.
Where as I dont actually have any desire to rape somebody only to have consentual sex
why? most likely there is probably one in every town in the country, and most of the danger lies with family, not strangers
Also - this guy - he says he only was done for one incident of possessing child pornography. He hasn't been shown to actually be a risk and carry out any sexual acts against children. I wouldn't want to take the risk personally - but, did he posess this child porn knowingly or not, should be the question in this case imho.
Frankly I'd prefer them to be in prison/secure hospital rather than living freely in an area near anybody.
I am a parent, and I don't want to know.
What this law misses is that most acts are carried out by family members, not strangers.
The current system is stupid, because whether you think they are a danger or not, at the end of the prison time you have to let them go.
What about women that admit to rape fantasies?
