I have no interest in the statistics on reoffending or otherwise. I have an interest in my childrens' welfare. I am also not hysterical. Once an adult has abused a child he/she in my mind loses all rights to protection. They prey on children because they think they are cleverer and therefore more powerful than their victim. I don't believe in capital punishment but would quite willingly volunteer to brand every sex offender on the forehead with the words SEX OFFENDER. I realise they would need a very wide forehead. Do I think that is over the top? No, I think their possible victims should be warned of their tendencies in a way that they (the victims) will recognise.
