Should paedophiles have to do something for the community?

The first step in protecting children from these types of people are the parents of said children. Making sure from the 'get-go' that there is open comunication between the children and parents. There are no secrets between them.\n You have to build a strong trust with your children.\n Where they can come and talk to you about ANYTHING.\n There is probly no more of it going on now as was 40 years ago.\n But now you have the world media reporting every case that comes up.\n So if you live in "No-Where Idaho.On the TV you will hear of cases in Florida, New York, even in Asia.\n It seems that ALL of society is going into the waste basket.\n Where in reality...how many have you heard about happening in your local?\n  If it has happened in your local? Ask this. \n What did  the parent/guardians do,or did not do, to possibly prevent it? What social upbringing did the child get? Was this child taught to be leary of strangers? Or question the demands of a family friend or relative?\n One way is to teach the children NO ONE can/should touch them where their underwear or swimsuit covers. Except maybe a doctor. And that is with a parent present.\n Now that the laws have focused on this crime more then what was 40 years ago. And they get stricter and stricter each time.\n Has anyone noticed that more and more victims are turning up dead? Instead of being alive to eventually report it?\n Think about it... This guy rapes a child. Left alive. This kid can send him to prison...for-sure.\n Now if he kills the child? \n1: Gets rid of the primary witness against him.\n2: If he does get caught,tried and convicted?\n    He goes to prison on the murder charge. Which means death row and solitary confinement. Instead of into the gerneral prison population where he will probly be killed anyway but in a slow and tortured way.\n There are some that say "Yes". "That way we know our children are safe." Yes safe,for now, from the ones in prison.\n But what about the ones possibly living in your neighborhood that have not been caught yet.? Or possibly the one that just moved into the house next door? Or the new spouse of your sister or brother. Or if you are divorced with children. What about your new spouse?\n Our children will never be safe if you depend on the system and it's laws to do it. Laws are made to deal with a crime after it was commited. Not prevent it.\n It is up to you as a parent or guardian to do the extra effort to prevent  anything like this from happening to your children.\n All the prevention is in your hands. No one elses.

Check with your local law enforcement. Sex offenders should be registered. Pedophiles target children, not older adults, but to be sure, contact your police department before jumping to conclusions.

I think that alot of parents think it will spark an intrest in sex that will make there children go out and try to figure out what they are talking about. the problem here is alot of the time parents either are waiting for the "right time" and over look it or are just tring to save there childrens "innocents", however if the parents do not help there children understand then some one else will and usally that ends badly.

Yes.  But that would make them have to look at each case personally.  Hopefully this will give them some ideas on how to change the abuse rules.  Atleast so people will not be banned unfairly.\nOne more thing hopefully people wouldn't abuse the privilage.  If they did then it wouldn't be worth the effort of changing.

Hey if they go and meet these children then they deserve the same treatment as pedophiles.  There really is no difference - same intentions\nI don't think these people should get any different treatment than any other pervert or abductor.

I am so glad you asked this while I'm in a bad mood!! YES! There should be a regulatory body set up incorporating specialists from Social and Child Services as well as the government and Education and Spychriatric professionals. I have grown up in some slum areas of Britain and have known of some outrageously bad parents. Many in the town I live now encourage their children to start breeding young so that the state can provide housing and financial benefits for them. This is not parenting! Many of these parents are ill-educated and have not known full working lives. This is just making the problem worse. The UK has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in the EU and second in the world only to the USA. Many of these families have little money as a result of poor education and live on or below the poverty line. In short, I believe that in Britain at least we should set a minimum (maybe a maximum) age limit for parenthood and should restrict family size according to income. Harsh but it would mean there was enough money for each child (in theory). Also I believe that would be parents should attend a "parenting course" teaching them how to look after thier children as well as undergo a full spychiatric review. Previous police convictions should perhaps also be reviewed for more heinous crimes. There are far too many ill-adept parents "teaching" their own children their errors. \n\n**PLEASE NOTE: - VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS WRITING ARE BASED ON MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. I AM NOT GENERALISING AND MEAN NO OFFENCE BY ANYTHING I HAVE WRITTEN.**

Yeah. At least if they (ads) are adult-themed, vulgar or inflamatory. Chat rooms shouldn't be censored, however I think chatroom controllers should create chatrooms separately for adults and children, this way there is less interaction between them and thus less of a chance for pedophiles to contact children.

Abusing a child for reporting sexual abuse.\n\nWhat kind of message does that send?\n\nHe should have to at least do supervised community service.  Something positive for the community and a learning experience for him.  \n\nFace it, the molester probably won't get much jail time.  It's infuriating, but true.\n\nHe definitely doesn't need to counsel anymore!\n\nIf he is sincere, but horribly misguided, maybe he could be rehabilitated in some way.  Sadly some people are in the ministry who just have no business being there and it's a cover for their maladjustment.\n\n\nThat poor girl!  Personally, I don't think her mother is without fault in this, either.  She probably gave him permission.

I think it is a good idea. After all, you pointed out that homosexuality exists whether we like it or not and we can't really keep kids heads buried in the sand for the rest of their lives. If you are a teacher, I also feel that you can do a better job of approaching this issue with objectivity than some parents can. I would just point out that it is a choice that some consenting adults make and leave it at that.

I don't think the Sex Offenders Register is available for public use, simply because we would end up with the Sun runnign lynchign campaigns all over the place! THere is a good FAQ article from the Guardian here:\nhttp://society.guardian.co.uk/children/story/0,,1689260,00.html\n\nIf you have any serious concerns and evidence I woudl go to your local police station and discuss it with them.

Its not right, some people are perverts, they should all burn in hell for what there doing. or they need to be hung up by there b*lls. really make them think bout what they did, or what there doing.

What an interesting question! I suppose it's because there's no trust that everyone will be on their best behavior.  I also think that it's a taboo-like guard against pedophilia.

Everyone has to report child abuse, doesn't matter who you are.  In our jurisdiction reporting it to the principal is not considered enough.  It hss to be reported to authorities who have the power to investigate and take action, child protection services, or the police.

Well there are a lot of sick people in this world today and as a socity we have grown more sexualy. With tv and the internet it has grown more easly for petitfiles to meet with smally children, and less time in prison than any other time in history for committing a crime.Rapeing of our children is easier for them to do and they dont get much time. So we as a people need to set hasher pentiles for these crimes.

I am sure they are already doing it. I think a guy that is caught masturbating in a public restroom should be castrated. Or the Frat Boy that hooks up at the keg party with a 16 year old posing as a college girl should spend his life in prison... \n\nOh wait... these people have to be on the list and labeled as a threat to society?  But, they aren't going to molest young children... hmmm... you're right, laws DO need to be changed.

What the F***?  What are you, a paedophile?!?

Would you trust the word of someone who is a self confessed paedophile? In the UK we used to have a free magazine called "Making Music", given away in guitar/music stores. The December 2000 issue had an interview with Moby. He said that "artists" such as himself and Gary Glitter should have free and unrestricted access to paedophilic pornography, as "artists" would be able to judge the images on their "artistic merits".  If you want to listen to this individual, you are listening to a paedophile!
