Do you consider physical violence to a grown man, to be more sick than the sexual abuse a young child?

Physical violence can kill so yes.,.......And if its an innocent person then yes they are worse than paedo's.......

Clearly we live on different planets!

Pros and cons. There is a down side - when vigilante groups attack the wrong people - but despite that, I think parents have the right to know when there are such people living near them! Protecting children gets priority in my book!

In an ideal world, yes. But we don't live in an ideal world. Too many people are wrongly convicted or accused and that stigma stays with them for life (see Michael Jackson)

An interesting link for those who are propagating the "pediatrician" story;

Hmmm interesting. To be honest there has been rumours about paedophiles in my village but no mobs have ever gone to them. You get all these internet Psychopaths that say they would torture them, when they couldn't even torture a frog. Realistically most people don't take action until it directly affects them, they just gasp at the news, until the next Baby P comes along.

Yes they should be named and shamed.Ten minutes before being hung.

:shocked:Unbelievable!

I think we are looking at it from the wrong angle. perhaps we should ask should certain types of sex offenders, eg paedophiles be given a sentence of a predetermined length, in other words is it right to tie the hands of rehabilation services to a given length of time to correct certain types of behaviour within individuals.

If a paedophile was sentenced to be imprisoned or held in a secure treatment unit until it was established they wouldnt/couldnt or were incapable of committing the offences again would we need to name and shame?

As has been previously mentioned naming and shaming is only effective when the exact location of the offender is known, people can and do move, if a paedophile felt the urge to reoffend he goes into hiding and moves, disguising himself and taking an assumed name, he is then free to reoffend.

If we keep them in secure units they cant reoffend if before we release them we chemically castrate them, they wont feel the need to reoffend. Simples.

Hope you are able to get back soon........:xyxwave:

The possibility of killing an innocent person not worse well you have a right to your opinion. Even though I find it unbelievable............

what if it turned out they were innocent

i think they should be named and shamed

In an ideal world I agree but there are nut cases out there who could harm or kill an innocent victim......In view of the probable dangers I think the present policy is unavoidable.....But like you I wish it could change.......

Is the Pope the King of the Paedos?:nono:

:nono: Leave Pope Benedict alone!
