Some of you have pointed out the obvious fact that our court system is not always accurate & some get wrongly convicted. I've always been against the death penality for that reason - not to mention I don't like the idea of paying a government employee to kill people. That said I don't think there would be much opposition to tagging in offenders with GPS chips, so we can track them & if something does happen we know who was where when. Not only would it act as a deterrant for those that are chipped it would deter those thinking about breaking the law knowing they'll be tagged for life.

Regardless I think we have new offenders being born everyday & we really need to figure out the root of the problem - not just treat the symptoms.

I've never been much of a fan of porn, but I do think alot of sexual deviency comes from porn & I think it is a learned behavior and we can put a halt to this behavior if we don't allow that type of material to be available. The fact is we have media that promotes little girls dressing inappropriately for their age. Much of the porn industry picks the most petite models that resemble little girls, they shave their pubic areas to resemble little girls, dresses them in school girl type clothing pig tails and all. That tells me we allow the promotion of child porn - even when it's not really child porn. Should we be doing that?

While I'm all for free speech, I often wonder if we are creating more pediphiles with our media rather than people just being born that way. We are defineately doing something wrong as I find it hard to believe we would have as many peds as we do if we were doing it right. There is something wrong with our system that needs to be fixed or adjusted, because I find it hard to believe that we have so many bad apples with just bad genes.

I also see a big difference between someone who looks at a pre-teen and one who looks at a 16 year old sexually. Our court system treats them the same but the fact is many 16 year olds may be mentally different than say a 24 year old but physically I don't think there's much if any difference. It's easy to label someone messing with a 8 or 9 year old a pedophile, but I think theres a huge difference between that guy & the one with a 15-17 year old.

I believe the big part of why we consider teenagers children is because in the past girls were married at an age that they were capable of having children and that didn't allow women to have careers such as the have now. So, in reality were talking about womens rights that caused these changes. It's something that needs to be looked at. No, I'm not advocating taking away womens rights, but realizing that god made women look sexually attractive at a certain age in order propagate our species. If a young women is sexually attractive at 16 you can't change the behavior that god has given us to survive.

The guy that jumps out of the bushes will always be the bad guy, but I don't think we should label the guy that has an under age girl friend as one in the same. While he may be somewhat deviant he's not quite the same. Kind of like the difference between the person who embezzles from their employer or the guy that comes in with a gun & robs the business. Both might be a crime, but there's more hope to alter the behavior of one than the other - not to mention one does different damage then the other.

I'm not the only one that believes sexual assault is being cultivated by the Powers That Be to get and maintain control of a terrified society.

See?

Our LEADERS are up to this.

Here in the UK we have our fair share of "sex offenders" just like any other country.

If a person commits this kind of crime, they get put on a "sex offenders" list.

Once released from prison they are given a new identity and relocated away from their home town.

At the moment we have one of these offenders living in our village. The person has an armed guard and is given state benefits because they obviously cannot work.

When this person walks the dog, the guard is always with this person. You never see this person alone.
People in my village are obviously disgusted with the treatment this person is getting.

To me, it seems that the victims stay the victims and the assailants get to live a life supplied by the state in total luxury.

Are people against this type of caring for the assailant as much as me?

Do you think they should be locked up for life?
If they kill an innocent child (this person helped another kill 2 children) then they should serve life or be given the death sentence.

Do any other countries treat their convicts with care etc? or is it just the UK that has an archaic stupid law?

Geesh! Your country must be spending a whole lot of money on the "protection" of sex offenders!
Makes me puke when I think of a convicted sex offender being given special treatment and 24 hour protection! Who cares!
Why don't they assign armed guards to protect our children?
My logic is if you are convicted of a sex crime, cut off the penis and balls and feed them to a hungry dog! What is this world coming to when we protect a convicted sex offender!!!!???? gosh, give me a puke bucket!
