Re: Moderators, attention please.
No, they just make their hostility very clear so that anyone who has those abhorrent feelings buries them, hides away, gets no treatment, does not come to the attention of the authorities and is not monitored. They become a very very dangerous individual who has slipped off the radar and no body knows who he is...
I know the environment I would rather live in!

Much of this does seem to be an incitement to vigilantism.

Re: Moderators, attention please.
But why should it be locked?
Is it not fair to discuss these things?
No one has mentioned the marina or the names involved - though a few may be able to discover it if they search hard enough - personally, I don't want to know !
slightly off topic - I met a chap who is a police officer working with sex offenders ... a friend asked him "do you enjoy your work" ...
perhaps enjoy is a little strong ... !

No sympathy for the guy involved but who the hell are you to try & hound him out.! Would you do the same if he was a convicted thief or burglar.? Leave him alone & mind your own business. It may be a 1st offence & he's extremely embarrassed already & anxious to put it behind him.

Re: Moderators, attention please.
Having just retired from the police I can assure you the sense of satisfaction you feel after successfully catching and prosecuting any criminal is easily matched by the frustration and disappointment you feel when you see people behaving in the way that is being exhibited by some on here. Mob mentality is one of the worse aspects you will ever see in any society, far worse in my opinion than some of the issues they are claiming to address.

Re: Moderators, attention please.
I reckon your original post backfired on you. Instead of the baying rabble you hoped to arouse, you got thoughtful, reasoned posts from people with common sense and experience of life. Ordinary decent people are naturally appalled by some of the horrible things done to children but they know that lynch mobs will achieve nothing except to drive paedophiles into hiding and make it harder to prevent them offending again.

Re: Moderators, attention please.
Yes. That seems to be the top and bottom of it.
Clyst (the expert) sees his presence as an ill-defined threat.
Sandyman postulates that this bloke will start abusing children in the marina. Perhaps the reason he can't understand why the bloke didn't get a custodial sentence is because he was not involved in the prosecution and doesn't know the actual facts.
These are merely fears with nothing to support them except that the bloke has been convicted of a different offence.
Most posters in the thread can see this.
Most seem to accept that the offender is now in the virtual custody of the authorities, but the OP feels the need to make his own stand against the bloke.
If Clyst has professional experience of these behaviours, I find it remarkable that he is acting as vigilante on this occasion.

Re: Moderators, attention please.
I think in fairness to Clyst he has probably had more exposure than most to the victims of such offences so he could be excused having quite strong feeling about such things, and he wasn't actually advocating anything to extreme. I just think he needed to appreciate there are two sides to an issue and he should look at the bigger picture, and I suspect he realised that after the first few posts.......

They're out there
According to a programme I have just been watching, 1% of the population are psychopaths. So your marina will have 5 psychopaths as well as the 10 paedophiles.
Safer to go and anchor somewhere!

I don't know, but I think the police might be in a better position to review the situation. they would asses risk, if any, and make sure everyone behaves in a reasonable manner. what do you think they would do then ?

Re: Moderators, attention please.
It's a sad reality that the children most at risk to abuse are those that are already vulnerable due to lifestyle and their care regime. Is there a particular reason you feel your children would be at any risk in the scenario described by the OP?
Our children are exposed to all kinds of risk on a daily basis. Teaching them to be aware of risk and how to manage it is a far more effective method of preparing them for life than trying to isolate them from it, or worse still filling their heads with our paranoia and an unreasonable perception of danger.

Think it is still fact that most abuse takes place within the family or by close family friends. Stranger abuse is still relatively rare, it is people that take advantage of our trust that are the major problem.
