Should a reoffending child sex offender see their child supervised?

[Coffeeeclair]

What would you do if you were the mum and this was the father of your children? Would you allow supervised contact (in a contact centre or supervised by a friend/family member)? If so, how often and for how long? Or would you stop contact altogether? What do you think would be better for your children?

Man got in trouble with the police once but reoffended a year and a half later. He's on the sex registry after possession of indecent images of children. Children featured in the pictures are 1 to 17 years old. So the whole range of childhood.
Your kids are toddlers.
He blames porn addiction and says he'd never harm a child in real life.

What would you do?
And why?

Thank you

Yes, I was thinking the same. Sadly the court will likely grant contact rights.

Insanity … can I message you.

your post is really interesting … and helpful.

Yes if always supervised.

No absolutely not untill that child is grown up enough to understand and make own choices

Absolutely gobsmacked at the posters saying he should be able to see the children.

I’ve worked in the family courts for 7 years and I’ve not yet seen a convicted child sex offender successfully get a court order for supervised contact. At least in my local court the only time such an order would be made is if the child was old enough to know and understand what had happened, and also actively wanted to see their father despite that. The chances of both of those things being true I would say are vanishingly unlikely.

This is reassuring! Because some of the replies here certainly aren't

I don't want to derail the thread but I also have experience in this field and courts definitely do not favour the fathers. Far from it.

No never.
It has to be the end of all contact.
