Bloody Paedophiles!!

It's late and I've not been home from work long, so this is a short blog - that will be extended as soon as I wake/remember.

How on Earth can a convicted paedophile manage to abduct a child and then bring the screaming three year old to his BAIL hostel and proceed to rape her on the premises.

How is that possible?

Did it not strike anyone as somewhat obscure?

Even if it were his own child, who in their right mind would believe that he would be allowed unsupervised access.

My heart goes out to the poor little girl. At the age of three, she is now scared to go home. Home at that age is supposed to be a place of safety, a place where children feel secure and can develop and grow. But not for this little girl. Not unexpectedly she is now "very quiet and hasn't said very much at all", the things going on in her mind now are things that someone the age of 103 shouldn't have to have, let alone at age 3.

I can see me getting carried away with this story tonight, so I will stop soon.

As a solution, perhaps we need to deter/dissuade abusers of children in a more personal way than public humiliation. In centuries past and in various different countries, peoples punishments fitted their crimes. For example, if you killed - you were killed, if you stole - your hand was cut off. So, I propose this; for male (female ones exist too and also should be punished) abusers of children (or indeed rapists), a simple act such as the removal of the penis would certainly act as a deterrent. If you get caught, it is removed - you certainly wouldn't be able to commit that particular crime again.

Yes, I realise that a similar reason as to why the UK does not have the death sentence applies here - "what if the person is later found innocent and you've hacked off their manhood?"

Well to be frightfully honest, if they were incriminated to the extent that there wasn't even reasonable doubt as to their guilt then they probably deserved it.

In murder the victim cannot indicate the perpetrator (the pedantic among you will now bring up the subject of forensics), but in abuse/rape the victim is usually more than capable of indicating/confirming the identity of the abuser/rapist.
