blimey that's awful!!

Ok, CC. I've just read it online and actually think it is total rot. Sorry.

Yes, thes eblokes may well be convicted and registered sex offenders, and YES they are recording footage of small children BUT these kids are fully dressed and involved in nothing remotely sexual. What exactly do the News Of The World think the 'wrinkly perverts' are going to do with this footage ? I dunno, small, fully dressed children feeding the ducks is hardly erotically charged stuff is it ? After all, any one of us can see it happening in any park, in any town, all over the country. In this case, the NOW seems to be adding (spurious) fuel to the paedophile hysteria.

I'm not condoning the behaviour of the histories of these men, but this particular report on their behaviour strikes me as completely OTT.

NomDePlume · 25/06/2006 20:06

or the histories of these men....

charliecat · 25/06/2006 20:09

Yes, but innocent and nothing remotely sexual to you and I, those kids are obviously doing something for those men.
Its the equivilent of a rapist setting up a tripod in a niteclub to watch all the girls/women drunkenly dancing...not an offence, but not right either.

It may be a bit odd, ut I sure as hell owuldn't want them, or anyone else unknown to me, videoing eith er dds.

Earlybird · 25/06/2006 20:09

I'm amazed that the parents of these children would allow total strangers to film them - even though it's in a public place and the children are doing ordinary things.

Even thought it's not sinister at all, I find myself vaguely uncomfortable when tourists (often Japanese) have in the past, wanted to take pictures of dd - but maybe I'm just paranoid.

southeastastra · 25/06/2006 20:10

why are they videoing them?

UberCodofWashingFame · 25/06/2006 20:11

ooh htta reminds me of the cmapsite thread we had on
they "USE" the pics t o make pseusdo images of kdis in poses imo

NomDePlume · 25/06/2006 20:15

I would like to have a (thoroughly inappropriate) snigger @ the NOW's use of the phrase "The cunning perverts remained at the site for more than an hour until the park began to empty." PMSL - the camera and tripod are MAHOOSIVE htf are they 'cunning' ? Hardly covert photography, is it.

NomDePlume · 25/06/2006 20:16

Marvellous journalism, marvellous.

Turquoise · 25/06/2006 20:16

I agree with NDP - much as I find paedophilia loathesome and despicable, the NOTW hysterical fanning of vigilantism is abhorrent. The journalistic style "leering" "bug-eyed" "pot bellied perverts" - FFS!

EvesMama · 25/06/2006 20:18

some people will see this as innocent and ott, but these men are "CHILD RAPISTS"..so any videoing of children is sick as someone said thye can use these pictures in ways many of us would not dream not would like to know.
sick bastards..and why are they not chaperoned as it said? or even allowed together to 'swap ideas'??makes me sick to my stomache..two child sex offenders are not going to spend a day in a park videoing loads of innocent children and all the while thinking and talking about the weather

southeastastra · 25/06/2006 20:18

yes but what are they doing filming kids? am i missing something here?

NomDePlume · 25/06/2006 20:18

(thanks turq)

southeastastra · 25/06/2006 20:23

so did they news of the world set it up

EvesMama · 25/06/2006 20:25

sounds like theyve been following them cos it said theyve managed to get them turned away from so many hostels, so theyve been keeping an eye on them

Tinker · 25/06/2006 20:26

Don't they share their dna with crabs?

Tinker · 25/06/2006 20:27

Paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you or me. Now that is scientific fact. There's no actual evidence for it, but it is a fact.

southeastastra · 25/06/2006 20:35

i am def missing something here so basically: the news of the world enticed the blokes to the park, set the camera up and took the pic??

EvesMama · 25/06/2006 20:41

?..no i think theyve just been following them (might be wrong?) and this is where they tunred up??

EvesMama · 25/06/2006 20:42

tinker??really??how have they worked that out??or am i being gullable

aelita · 25/06/2006 20:59
