If you want to talk law or justice then leave your emotions at the door.

With your comments above then, and taking into consideration my opening post: does this mean that you agree that this scumbag should be given a new identity, fresh start, home, job etc all at the cost of the taxpayer.

If not: may I ask what you feel should be the appropriate way forward? Do you feel that having served 4 years for the torturous abuse this man (and others) inflicted upon an innocent, defenceless young todder - is adequate punishment.

Are you of the view that having served 'his time', that he should be allowed to come out of jail, and simpy 'get on with his life', uninterrupted,without issue. ?
