Paedos to be chemically castrated

[lyrabelacqua]

What do you think of this ?
I think it's a great idea if it stops a perv's vile behaviour.

Aitch. I know a boy who grew up with systematic abuse. Amongst other things his father used to come hiome pissed up and urinate on his head whilst he pretended to be asleep. This boy is now a prosperous loving father. Other people might have brought forwad the victim car... B**locks. You make you own way - you are who YOU ARE and you learn from others mistakes. That victim bullshit is pathetic - no excuse.

i do take your point re the abused growing up to be abusers, maybe this may not happen if our social system provided support for these people when they need it. I just feel that for the most extreme cases, ian huntley a good example of predatory peadophiles and peadophile rings of what must be very powerful people to cover it all up, the death sentence is the only option and for these people i feel no sympathy.

hmmm perhaps the chemical castration story is a cunning distraction from Sarah's law not being started?

sorry, you're all getting too bonkers. no-one is saying that you have to abuse if you've been abused, but you're crackers if you don't think that there's a connection between what happens to people in their childhood and what later becomes their taste or even compulsion.

if you want to murder people, fine. if you want a cull, fine. if you want people kept in prison for life and toothpicks driven into their eyes so they never sleep again, fine. keep jawing about it, it'll never happen. just so's you know... and in the meantime, for men who are desperate to stop abusing children and who have the right support, this chemical castration might be a way forward.

christ, sarah's law... megan's law... pile of rot.

pile of rot how exactly? could that very law not have prevented ian huntly doing what he did?

He would have been driven out of town and then gone and done exactly the same thing somewhere else to someone else's daughters. it's not the answer.

thats as maybe but it would have stopped him getting a job in a school.

Those who want to sort things out, well doene, let them. Those who don't....why...article earlier quote Sara Payne's mother who was in favour but what about Roy Whiting - would he like to go through this process? Does he feel remorseful? I think the process is going to be on an individual basis.

doene? Apologies for spelling and grammar.

Loobyloo I understand what youa re saying- and I would probably do the same if uit were my children (boys are at risk too), however it is for that reason that we have a detached justice system- to prevent emotions and homronal tiger mothers like us from controlling the law. Ther is nothing wrong with wanting to harm a person who abused your child- the parents are indeed victims too. It is the job however of justive to transcend that and be re objective, that is when the ethical murder is wirng perspective has to come in to play, iyswim?

FWIW I was date raped as an adult and I know exactly how much that cost me- an entire deacde in terms of eatng disorders, depression etc. And that was as a 19 year old, God forbid what it must do to a child. I still find mob cultyure scary hoewver and beleive we have to resist it at all costs.

I don't have an issue with lifetime sentences for those who continue to rpesent a risk (differentiating between the 18 year old with his 15 yrear old gf, or the occasional SN person). In fact i would support thema s longa s hey retained the usual rights of retrial etc. should new evidence come to light. And actually I am not against hard labour, either- but tirture, mutilation and the deaths sentence are inhuman and surely it is the retention of humanity that is the ket in all this? Paedophiles are inhumane. I dont want to nbe.

(and i wasnt in favour of Sarah's law either- we knew we had Paediophiles in our village sadly, one overlooked our garden after being given a house supposedlyr eserved for young families in an estate where we had all had to pay for our home (50 / 50 ownership young family estate). the result? extreme fear, paranoia and not one extra thing us already protective mums could do to change things. In the end we all moved away- leaving those who couldnt with flatlining house prices as well,a nd the rest of us with huge removal bills. Who won there, exactly?

Can I point out that Ian Huntley did not know the girls he murdered through working at a school. They didn't go tot he school in hich he was caretaker. He knew them through his grilfriend. Now clearly he shouldn't have been working in a school, but that's not how he got 'access' to his victims.
