Everybody is somebody's child - that includes sex offenders. I'm not for one moment suggesting they should... I don't even know - they are imprisoned the same as any other criminal who hurts people is imprisoned. I really don't understand the "string 'em up" mentality. Well, I suppose I kinda do cos they are obviously hideous crimes (at least the instances I suspect you are thinking of - touching a 15yo boob is not on but it's hardly Ian Watkins territory) but I do wonder if people now use tabloid hysteria about "paedos" to simply vent anger in general - scapegoat for everything that is perceived to be wrong with modern society - rather than treating them as what they are which is as people who have done truly terrible things in many cases but who are still people. I agree with the above quote.
