Elendon well they are stupid as well then. What does it take to get through someone's head that a new "partner" is no less likely to be a child molester, paedophile, rapist, abuser, than the average person in the street.
The MN "dictators" are fucked in the head sometimes. On what planet is it ok to let someone you have known a few weeks to have access to your child, but you can't let them walk to the shop at 10 because they might be abducted.
I understand that MN isn't a collective hive mind, as evidenced by the selection of sensible posters on this thread, but it sometimes seem like the ones who shout loudest on every thread are the ones with the most ludicrous ideas.
People who have never heard of Clare's Law? For god's sake, educate yourselves. With the wide availability of the internet, there is literally no excuse for not knowing about things put in place to protect women (and by extension, their children) from violence and abuse. Clare's Law could actually save your life one day. It is that important.
Jupitar the whole point of Clare's Law is that before you move your random shag into your house, with your children, you can find out if there is any history of violence. Anyone can request this information. The police will then disclose if they feel it is necessary. In the first 10 months that the law was in use, 1300 disclosures were made. That's over 100 women a month saved from possible abuse or death.
If you don't avail yourself of this, you aren't naïve, you are an idiot.
