And I'm back!

With more to whinge about than ever!


Todays bitching session is about the legal system and its downfalls.

I was absolutely infuriated to read about this case. The thing that really got up my nose about this case was the fact that;

  • a) "It emerged during his trial that Sully had convictions for almost identical attacks stretching back 38 years."

  • b) Sully was ordered to sign the sex offenders register and was disqualified him from working with children for life.
Well yes, brilliant its happened now, why wasn't it done before anyway?!

And lastly;

  • c) "If and when Sully is ever released from prison, he will be subject to a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO), which would prohibit him from undertaking work that would bring him into contact with children."

fantastic, great idea, except...

"Breaking the order would make him liable to a maximum five-year prison sentence. "

Ooh, wow, a whole five years!

Why the fuck isn't it longer?

Say he assaults a 7 year old, then when he gets out that child is going to be a mere 12 years old. A difficult time for any child let alone one who knows that the guy who screwed up their life is now out and about - and may well be angered that they told.

Anyone think that child will sleep well again? Isn't enough that the child has to face memories in dreams let alone know they might yet come face to face in reality?

On a note away from child abusers this is an interesting story...

In short for all of you who don't care to read it through, be sure to encourage your kids to study hard and maybe become a doctor. If they want inflict gross bodily harm on someone and get away with only a few hours community service a week they will need a good job.
