SARAH'S LAW

I know I never really touch on news stories and current affairs...apart from my recent comparison of the Iranian president and the football stealing man that lived on Craig Road but I am well in favour of Sarah's Law.
Not all paedophiles are as easy to spot as they dont all fit the stereotype as Benson is demonstrating. I was talking to a lady I know and she has just found out that the man across the road from her has been taking pictures of her kids. Not rude pictures you understand, just pictures. He told the kids that he knows their Mum so its ok, he would get some copies for her. She of course doesn't know this man. Seems he has angry young teenagers banging on his door at all hours and she has seen fancy dress hats and stuff hanging in his door.

Now, of course it could all be innocent. But then you could also imagine how a few seemingly innocent pictures turn in to the kids thinking hes ok and posing for more pictures, maybe with his fancy dress items and on and on....

I dont want to think about it.But if hes one, shit the bed, I think she has the right to know. Yeah, you might get a bit of vigilantism for a while but what a great future deterrent it would be.

I just think we are protecting the wrong people here.
