I initially had a quite different take on this issue. Sounded like alot of sex offenders were being let off the hook. I guess it's not as clear cut an issue as I thought. I am probably unreasonably paranoid about accused sex offenders since I have a couple daughters at home...

I was thinking the same way when I read it.

If you want to study up on a case showing how the legal system can, and does, railroad people look up the McMartin case. That was one of the biggest miscarriages of justice ever. The McMartin case lasted longer and cost more money than the OJ trial

OK Thanks

Actually, now that I read about it. I remember this case quite well. It was very bizarre. I remember thinking that it must be a fabrication. The tales told by some of the children were just totally unbelievable.

Unfortunatley todays society is so screwed up about molesting children innocent actions can be taken the wrong way.

Like a friend who was playing with his daughter in a pub bouncing her on his knee with everyone staring at him. He thought it was funny but a sad reflection on todays society.


Things that I can remember. Walking to town early one morning I can hear a child crying somewhere. A few minutes later a four to five year old appears crying Daddy Daddy then runs back down a side road to a bmw which has it door open. No sign of daddy and the only other person who had been ahead of me all the way down was disapearing rapidly out of view. The child got back in the car but there was no sign of daddy. If I had a mobile I would have rang the police and then kept a long way away. Since I didn't so I left the scene. The reason if Daddy came round the corner he'd had said child pervert and I'd have been arrested.

Another time in a local park this kid fell of his scooter. It wasn't bad but since the parents were some way away there was no way I was going near him. I stood a good couple of feet away with the scooter and waited until his parents arrived.
