Convicted paedophile reads to children
 

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/dr...public-library



The first of many in the USA.

You've got to be kidding!

I honestly think that Paedophiles shouldn't be let out of Prison as you can't rehabilitate them like other types of criminals, and I certainly wouldn't be having them work with children, what kind of moron does that?

They stopped checking the people reading or something

well they better start re-checking :bored:

Yes and fast

It seems like the issue here is that the library in question failed to carry out background checks... Not that it's being "allowed". Negligence from the organisers, not indicative of any widespread change in policy regarding sex offenders.

So negligence for the library to not provide background checks.

In all fairness to myself ..I did point this loophole out when the British news story cane out...and we all know how great we are at checking people. :think:

Tbh paedos should be castrated if they're not locked up.

Oh god, it gets worse

In what circumstances is it ever allowable for child sex offenders to be allowed near children?

Anyone in that board who was wavering should be immediately removed from their position.

none obviously, but the do gooders are out in force, bet they wouldn't have their kids or grandkids anywhere near though

...isn’t this the reason why this is being discussed atm by the library board ...

‘But board member Jonathan Winkler argued that standards for inclusion in the offender registry vary from state to state and that a zero tolerance policy could wrongly ban an ordinary gay person for consensual same-sex conduct that was once illegal but no longer is.’


...surely this could have people on a sex offenders list because of their sexuality and no other reason..?...

There's a difference between someone who was convicted for being in a relationship with another consenting adult man several decades ago, and being convicted for raping a child.

The two shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath, there should absolutely be a zero tolerance approach.

Tell that to the far right and hardass right

Nah, you can.

...absolutely there is a difference and no one is suggesting anything other than zero tolerance ...which is exactly why this is being discussed by the board as to the implementation so that no one is banned from being a guest at the library because of their sexuality...thank you Oliver for pointing out that the checks must be looked at very carefully indeed...
