Paedophile taking his kid to sports at weekend

Or perhaps he had previous offences or they discovered abuse images also or something

By the looks of it he's turned his life around?? What on earth are you basing that on you dont know who this person is!

Unfortunately they do i know a family it has happened to the girl was 5 weeks away from being 16 and her parents found out reported him and police got involved as shes under 16 and just 18 yr boy went to prison for 8 years for statutory rpe*

Honestly I don't believe this. It didn't happen.

I've worked with perpetrators of SA for many years and they can and do change. It is not helpful to tar everyone with the same brush especially when your information is simply incorrect.

You're overreacting. He's done wrong and by the look of it he's turned his life around long ago.

What’s with the defending of child SA? It’s published multiple places that they can’t be rehabilitated. Just google it.

He'll be considered safe as he's living with a child, & lots of charges that don't involve young children & are committed by young people, for example a 17 year old with a 15 year old is statutory rape. But 20 years later it doesn't need to follow that they're 'still' a paedophile.
I mean context, we don't have the context, & you need that.
Also, as others have said, you can't never know or be safe, it's always better to be alert, no matter where you are.

Did you not mean the opposite?

I'd absolutely speak to the safeguarding lead. And I'd do so in case he involves himself in the sport in any way. And he can do this by not necessarily coaching or in any official capacity but by ingratiating himself as an extra pair of hands, available for lifts, someone to help in the changing rooms etc. And what if he is a prolific photographer at these events? It is a genuine safeguarding issue given his record.

I wouldn't give a single solitary fuck if he has 'served his time'. The exploitation of children for sexual purposes is heinous, unforgivable and sick so all eyes with responsibility for the children need to know.

This is the information about duration of time on sex offenders register. It depends on the length of sentence and whether they are subject to any type of hospital order. This is information for those under and over 18 at time of conviction.

You need to send that ‘verified information’ anonymously by email to the club so that they can enforce safeguarding measures. If you feel confident enough why not confront the father with the info?
I’m pretty sure he would be on the sex offenders list for life and not allowed within a specified young person. So yes this is very concerning he’s even probably had a name change

He's sexually attracted to children. That won't change. I would make the club aware and never take my eyes off him.

I say this al the time as my job brings me loosely into contact with some of these people - don’t worry about those that are convicted. You know who they are and what they’ve done and everyone will be watching them.
Worry about the sheer number of people that have never been caught before - the number of first offenders I’ve seen scares me. Some of them have been downloading images for years.

I agree with this.

There are things you can do.

There's two unknown possibilities that would make me want to take the only action I can legally think of...

1. His partner may not be aware (for whatever reason).
2. Often parents of kids attending sports clubs are sometimes asked to help (eg trips or transport). This is obviously very dodgy to say the least.

You seem very relaxed about this. I wonder whether you would be so calm if this was your child in his company

I would be concerned if he enters the changing rooms at the sports club ?

No you’re not over-reacting I would feel exactly the same. Although as others have said at least you know. Does his wife know I wonder? Well at least you can keep your child away from him, I feel for his kid as there is no saying what he might do to him/her.

I wouldn’t let him anywhere near me or my children. They don’t change. Good for you, listen to your instincts. Don’t forget, there’ll even be some on here unfortunately, so be careful who’s advice you take.

Because if they are sexually attracted towards minors, then they always will be. Duh.

They walk amongst us I'm afraid. I once watched a documentary about a little girl that went missing at s fairground (this was before social media etc.) They made an appeal for people to send photos in they had taken at the fair and dozens of paedophiles were identified.

Does the club have a WhatsApp chat or FB group? I'd be posting the details in there so other parents can make an informed decision.

Am not an expert either tho my husband is in this field. It’s a sexual preference not likened to being gay tho a preference. Lots of people have the urge tho don’t act on in. Castration and medication can help the urges.

How can you verify the information you have received? How trustworthy is the person who gave you this info and how do they know?
