[Closed] Almost shaking I am so angry

Further, the righteous tend to gather and knock anyone who's not saying "string them up" etc. This stifles any thought or rational debate.

I don't think it's a matter of knocking anyone for saying that, and I'm not saying that society wouldn't be better of witout these people. I just think it's a wholly unrealistic proposal, so kind of pointless bringing it up, beacuse it ain't gonna happen. Not in Europe, not ever.

I don't see why it should stifle a debate of how to deal with offenders.

al you make a good point but for many the primary goal here is to make sure it does not happen to our kids.

Personally i find the crimes to be crimes against humanity...no one normal would do this kind of crime...without a cure[ not possible iirc] i dont want them out on the streets seriously who would do this ?
How is this just 6 years..i would get more if i was starving to death and did an armed robbery of a shop with a knife.
i would not go a s far as kill but 6 years us about 50 years to short IMHO

Sharia law anyone?

Ok, here's a question for those of the opinion that he shouldn't be allowed to live.

The poor girl victim in this case grows up, and in an amount of time - let's say, 20 years - hits the headlines. She's arrested for child abuse, having savagely beaten and violently sexually assaulted a small child in her care.

What's her sentence? Castration? Lethal injection? Life imprisonment? Therapy and rehabilitation? Counselling? Brain surgery? Flogged and dragged through the streets?

Knowing her history, should we still throw the book at her? What's that say about us if we do? Now, how is that different to the current case?

ton, your choice.

How much thought have you put into your view?

For the "just kill them all" crowd...if a child relative of yours was abused and so grew up to be a paedophile, would you happily see him executed as an adult because of it?

EDIT Junky part of my point is that sentencing should an rational consistent...and not down surely to the victim...or those that love to get indignant in sympathising with her.

lethal injection for anybody repeating my question 😉

kind of pointless bringing it up, beacuse it ain't gonna happen. Not in Europe, not ever.

It's good to discuss occasionally, if only to remind ourselves why that's the case.

I would have no problem in killing someone who harmed my children like that.

What saddens me is that some of the most vocal admit they only care because they have children. This is no basis on which to sentence scriminals.

Although I have a daughter the same age as the poor victim here, I still probably wouldn't support the death penalty if I hadn't seen how this kind of offender can ruin multiple people's lives and pull families apart.

Yes some paedophiles are victims, but many victims of paedophiles do not go on to offend (but still suffer their entire lives).

It's a utilitarian thing I think. Those who offend once are likely to do so again and in cases as serious as this the offender's continued existence is not a risk worth taking.

your entire jobs as a parent is to protect your child , nurture it watch it row

So you're responsible for our successful rowing teams! 😛 😉

So your responsible for our successful rowing teams!

Its so sad it happened for the child and her family.

Questions need to be asked about why and how it was allowed to happen, the problem will be stopping it happening again in the family circle.

Al.......yes i would mate.

I'm wondering if the admission of guilt was part of the reason the sentence was so low? It sounds like he snapped and went out of control (exactly what the string em up merchants are doing?)

Don Simon
Yes just like in the movie, A time to kill.

ton - easily said - your own son?

I have a daughter.
I don't believe in killing.
She knows this.

I don't see how killing someone for harming/killing her would in any way be respecting our relationship and the values I've tried to teach her.

no you misunderstood me, they are training to be big hitters on here there is nothing they cannot have a row about it, nothing. 🙂

But druidh...you can't [i]really [/i]lover her then?

EDIT 😉

But druidh...you can't really lover her then?

How do you mean "lover" as a verb here al? 🙂

Collect up all the chav dogs discussed elswhere and feed these kiddy fiddlers to them. Probably televise it on a Saturday evening, better than x factor.

Cripes...add in RLJs and it's a winner!

I'm wondering if the admission of guilt was part of the reason the sentence was so low?

It said as much in the BBC article IIRC; reduced from 8 years to 6 years.

Anyone seen Brass Eye's "Paedogeddon" episode?

I can understand people talking about stringing him up, etc. - it is, undoubtedly, a horrific crime that creates, understandably, emotive responses from people. However, it's all pointless, as we dont have the death penalty in this country. There really is no point just keeping saying it, it's never going to happen. Hora - your comment about 'he must have learning difficulties to do that' is both misguided [i]and[/i] insulting to anyone with or involved with people who have learning difficulties - my little lad has a learning disability, does that mean he'll become a paedophile? Stop talking bollocks, please. And just to dissapoint folk even further, he wont be 'welcomed to prison', he'll be segregated for his own protection. Yes, somebody will probably get to him at some stage, but I very much doubt that there'll be a welcoming comittee. What's the answer then? There really isnt one - we could certainly start by increasing funding for long stay specialised units, but I cant see that happening any time soon. Shit isnt it?

Surgeons must be very clever. Therefore, all clever people are surgeons?

I agree with the rest of your post, but you're twisting his words there, which is unfair.

I've got a young daughter and no inclination [i]whatsoever[/i] to follow that link. If reading something like that makes you imagine similar things happening to your own family I can believe that you might become furiously angry. Surely it would be better to avoid similar stories in future?

I don't even have to read hora's post (and I haven't) to know that this is more than likely the right thing to say.

re-name these articles of clothing as 'Paedo-bags' and force all convicted child abusers to wear them at all times.. maybe physically grafting them onto the nonces skin..

children could be taught from a young age to avoid them.. and later in life to assault them..

easy peasy

Well, seeing as that's what he wrote, I'm not really am I?

Well, ok, you're not twisting his words, you're applying faulty logic in order to take offence at an implied viewpoint which wasn't [i]actually [/i]implied.

I realise that I'm probably being a little sensitive here

Perhaps. But in your shoes I'd probably be a little sensitive too.

All I was meaning was, there are probably any number of reasons to pick on Hora, but I'm not sure that this is one of them.

That I have to disagree as rules are created by human so it will be up to us to change it again. Politicians as they are will need to win votes and guess what ... I will vote for the ones that have the guts to bring it back. As for EU ... nahhh ... embargo? Send troops to invade UK? They should just mind their own business.

... And just to dissapoint folk even further, he wont be 'welcomed to prison', he'll be segregated for his own protection. Yes, somebody will probably get to him at some stage, but I very much doubt that there'll be a welcoming comittee. What's the answer then?

The answer is in us. We let it happens we need to sort it out again. We can let it be and wish that it does not happen to us or we can drum up some courage by saying ... sort that I am going to say hang the scumbags for his/her heinous crimes and waterboard them for pleasure while at it. Tell the politicians to bring back death penalty for heinous crimes.

There really isnt one - we could certainly start by increasing funding for long stay specialised units, but I cant see that happening any time soon. Shit isnt it?

Yes, there is but just that we prefer to hide behind our whiter than white image and by being on high horse. Oh look we are civilised. Oh look we respect human rights etc. Put it this way there is no loss in having fewer scumbags like them.

Speak to your MP ... just voice your opinion ... no need to be pushy ... let the momentum grow ...

Lord Woolman said it was impossible to say whether the crime would have a long term psychological impact on the victim.

My guess is it might but im no expert

cougar your wrong

hora - it's possible he doesn't know he's doing wrong. He might get a clue though on day one of prison.

He'd have to have learning difficulties for that way of thinking.

I ignored it because it was Hora and low trolling even for him [s]some[/s]most times he should just STFU
I am unclear as to whether he mean people with a LD cant tell right form wrong or he means you would have to have LD's to not realise this was wrong...its possible he is saying you maus have LD to do this but even hora stream of unthinking conscious is not usual that dull witted but he may have meant that
Whichever way you take it he is talking bollox

had it been anyone other than hora I would have replied but he is not worth the effort tbh, excpe t for this aside

Cougar - Why would he have to have 'a learning difficulty' to commit an act like that? I have worked with paedophiles for years, in a variety of secure settings, and here's the thing, they come from all walks of life, some of them have been intelligent, some havent, some of them have been inadequate, some have been raving psychopaths. It's an ignorant misconception to label them as having 'learning difficulties'. I have admitted to being sensitive, but I certainly dont go around looking to take offence at an implied viewpoint. My sons life (and therefore mine) is already difficult enough at times, thank you.

Lord Woolman said it was impossible to say whether the crime would have a long term psychological impact on the victim.

I suspect he will have complete memory loss when he retired ...

Why would he have to have 'a learning difficulty' to commit an act like that?

He's had difficulty in learning that it's wrong to abuse children?

Ach, I don't know. I see where you're coming from, in that "LD" has a pretty specific meaning. I was interpreting it as a PC catch-all term for [i]any[/i] sort of mental dysfunction. Which, of course, it isn't.

I think I need more coffee. Ignore me.

barnsleymitch "... It's an ignorant misconception to label them as having 'learning difficulties'".

Regardless, if they cross the boundary then its good enough to put them out of their existence,.

Rehabilitating those who commit heinous crimes? Why? I have no interest in their future whatsoever nor am I interested in their human rights or to read about them again.

He's had difficulty in learning that it's wrong to abuse children?

shut the **** up

The difficulty is, that in most cases, paedophiles arent able to see that what they do is wrong. In my experience, I've known some paedophiles that were able to see that society viewed their acts as 'wrong', but were unable to internalise that, and sadly, that's as far as I've ever seen things change. What some of the posters on this thread would like to see happen and what does happen are two entirely different things. The best that we can manage at present is to place these people in secure settings and ensure our risk assessments are thorough and robust enough to keep them there. You can talk all you like about the death penalty, but at present, that's all you can do - talk about it.

Yes, unfortunately that's the case for us keyboard warriors at the moment, let's hope the ball starts rolling.

I wish to see the bringing back of death penalty during my lifetime so let's see. All you got to do is for one nation to suddenly say enough is enough to change the herd mentality.

What type of mother leaves her child alone with a man that might do those things to a child.

I dont let my children out of my sight if i get a bad feeling about something,

so to go to work,and leave your child with this monster, then let relatives pick the child up and take her to nursery, suggest their may be more to it.

i imagine 6 years in jail is a long time, but once a pedophile always a pedophile.

His sexual desires to him, are no different to you or i fancying a tall blonde/brunette, he sees no wrong in what he,s done or he wouldn't have done it.

society thought sees thing in the cold light of day and for this crime their should be no forgiveness,

he should receive all the help he needs to combat his desires, but not the freedom that gives him the wright to act on them.

so In my eyes 6 years is a joke but six years it is.

imo the mums to blame no one else, if you don't no your partner well enough to trust them, would you really leave your flesh and blood in their care?

She wants a good hiding and a serious lesson in how to protect her children the stupid woman.
