Identifying a pedophile to his neighbours

[Bipitybopityboop]

If you found out, through work, that a pedophile was going to live on a certain street near you.
Would you anonymously let the neighbourhood know?

Would you want to know?

This could not be traced back to one individual.

@Maggiesfarm It was eye opening.

To everyone saying, oh it's your husband/dad/granny/nice Brownie leader who is the one who is going to be savagely raping your your child every weekend and twice in Thursdays so it doesn't benefit you to know about the convicted child sex offender next door...hmm.

What if it was you. You're most likely to be raped and killed by your hitherto nice boyfriend or husband than some random, right? Bet you'd still like to know if Vincent Tabak moved in next door, when he gets out. I would modify my behaviour- at present I leave the bins out after dark at times and in my old house would have walked the (well lit village residential main street) 50 yards home from the pub alone, and would happily chat to a male neighbour then go through my front door with my back to the street and no rape alarm in my hand.

In work, I attach various notes to certain dogs' records. "CARE- will snap without warning" "OK for most of exam but go slow and muzzle for injections" or the odd "DANGER Will go for you and mean it. MUST arrive securely muzzled. Bring through empty carpark and in and out via back door. Sedate flat to do anything with. Dangerous dog, have advised euthanasia but owner refuses and does not seem to accept gravity of behaviour+potential consequences".
Should I just put nothing on the record and expect the other vets and nurses to exercise exactly the same level of caution with the absolute sweethearts, the tense-but-generally-OK ones and the ones that I know (but they do not) to be dangerous zero warning fuckers with stupid owners, and tell them that it was their own stupid fault when I'm visiting them in the facial plastic surgery ward in hospital?

I've had a job where I've been privy to child sex abusers' addresses.

What I learned is that they are EVERYWHERE.

After doing that job I'd never leave any of my DC's in the care of anyone who wasn't a close female relative.

There are so many cases that don't even get convictions because DC's tend not to disclose until any physical evidence is gone.

So it doesn't really matter about this particular one you know. Parents should all be a lot more thoughtful about who's around their DC's.

That it was. We really do not know the people we come alongside all the time. That is what is chilling.

Always, when a sex offender is caught and in the news, there will be people who knew him/her and never, in a million years, would have guessed. Maybe even their boss. Before the trial they will be saying, sometimes in an interview, that it is impossible, they've know him well for years, etc.

That isn't surprising because most have been duped in one way or another at least once, and a paedophile would be so very adept at cultivating genuinely-seeming friendships and work relationships.

Scary stuff.

It's a bit freaky isn't it? If I have had a busy day at work, gone shopping and stopped to talk to male friends and acquaintances I sometimes think well, the odds are that I've exchanged pleasantaries with a few fellas who wank off to varying degrees of torture porn, one or two who hit their wives and at least one with paedo tendencies. But which ones? I don't really enjoy watching male professional sport now (I used to love watching rugby) cos I'm just thinking right which of ye are beating your partners and which of ye are getting teenage girls drunk and raping them in hotel rooms?

@felulageller would you allow your child to sleepover at a friend's house? I know it's a totally 'normal' thing to do but honestly j feel very nervous about it.

The professionals working with the offender of course will have access to the information.

Depending on the level of risk they may disclose it to others for their protection - but specific people in specific contexts, not every random person in the neighbourhood.

[Allington]

To continue your analogy, the general public would be expected to know not to approach a strange dog as there is the potential it is aggressive.

If you're using dogs as ana analogy, at least get it right.



The public should be assuming the dog is dangerous regardless of any labels.


Otherwise, it's easy to assume all dogs without notes/labels are safe to approach. Thus you are likely to get bitten by the friendly dog.



If you assume all dogs are a danger, you will take necessary precautions AT ALL TIMES WITH ALL DOGS.

Sorry meant to add, some dogs may not have been labelled yet, or their labels were lost...or something traumatic happened to an otherwise docile dog and their behaviours have changed etc.

@reallyreallyborednow

Look it up for yourself how many kids are missing, and attempted kidnappings

I did. The stats aren’t matching what you are seeing on social media.

There are currently 26 children missing in London.

Your stats mean nothing when I see every day people attempting and actually kidnapping these kids

You’re seeing this personally, first hand?

They may have been kidnapped and returned. Doesn’t mean they are still missing if they have been abducted.

@HeddaGarbled

Not unless you’re comfortable with them being beaten up by vigilante thugs.

Fine by me.
