Paedophile in area what to do

And most don’t even get jailed. One in my town got off with a suspended sentence despite having 50,000 images! Over 3000 Cat A!

it’s a fucking disgrace.

If he has ‘confidentiality’, then how do you know about him?

He may well have a legitimate reason to be at the local council offices. The fact that he’s attending on the same day every week suggests a regular appointment. Could well be some form of adult education class intended to improve their chances of employment/rehabilitation.Having said that, if you believe this person could be in breach of their licence conditions, then you can make a report to the parole board (anonymously if you prefer.)

They won't stop him going to a library. Having worked in public libraries, I can tell you they are full of lovely people and also complete weirdos and everything in between. You can let the manager know so the staff are briefed to keep an eye on him though.

Police. If the building is used by libraries,police ect,it most likely has CCTV ,so there still may be evidence of him watching the children.
I wouldn't contact anyone other than authorities, that way you can't be blamed if someone did decide to give him a bit of old fashioned justice.

The nursery and library will have safeguarding leads. Let them know so that they are aware. There's no action to take ither than being aware and ensuring no risk situations develop.

If he's legally out of prison he needs to live somewhere. People being aware that he could be a danger is an effective assurance that he can't be a danger. It needs to be possible for him to live his life though.

Was about to ask this.

If you do work in the field, @mindutopia , why do you think this sort of thing is so incredibly prevalent?

He is probably breaching his license conditions especially if he is deliberately visiting when children are there. Offenders can be returned to prison for this. Someone was jailed locally for this recently because staff in the building knew his history and reported him to police - they saw that he was appearing after school when teenagers would be there.

Unfortunately paedophiles are everywhere. The ones you are aware of are less of a concern then the others that live in your area that you know nothing about. However a quick call to 101 just to share your concerns won't hurt.

🙄

Is reading comprehension not your strength?

Go back and read what I wrote again.

youre right. Your colleagues may be a rare exception unfortunately. But you will probably never know which of them are accessing child abuse images as the police and prisons cannot deal with anything but the most horrific of all the tens of thousands of offenders in every corner of Britain.

How is a known paedophile (presumably if you know about him, others in your area do too) managing to just walk around?

Those types wouldn’t last a day where I live, if it was local knowledge that they were a predator. Wouldn’t want it any other way.

I find these threads scare mongering. I'm in my 50's , when I was young we always had a paedophile in the neighborhood, known by everyone & we just knew (were told) to stay away from them. There was basically one in every community, usually the most upstanding types. We even had a teacher paying kids to wank him off. He was just sent to a mental health facility.

This hasn't changed, you just have to be safe, sensible about everyone. A healthy suspicion.

Report to as many people as you can, op!

I'm a probation officer so reading this thread with interest. Not having unsupervised contact with children is a fairly standard licence condition for those convicted of child sex offences, but with the caveat that it's unavoidable in the course of daily life (such as a fire alarm for example).

Unless the library has any particular links to children, it is highly unlikely he is preventing from going there. As a PP has stated, often they will have restrictions on using personal devices capable of accessing the internet, so the library is a way to do that for many.

Whilst I appreciate it being a concern for you because you know his risk, I'm struggling to see how the library is the concern? Had it not have been for the fire alarm and in turn, him being in close proximity to young children, would you still be concerned? How is it different to him going to a shopping centre or cinema?

This.

Paedophiles have been banned from our local libraries because some of them are now part of mixed campuses which include schools. For example, the council moved a secondary school, an all-age school for children with learning disabilities, a council office and a library into the one campus.

You don't get a 4 year jail tariff for just looking at images though surely. Most of those don't get actual jail time. To get 4 years (if he's out "early after 2 it could even have been 5 originally) he must have done something quite bad
