Peter, if you think that a convicted paedophile should be allowed to re enter into society then you need your head testing. I once watched a programme on tv about paedophiles and one specific interview has stayed in my head. A 50 or so year old man was justifying having sexual relations with a 5 year old on the basis that they can speak so they can consent!! I mean for God's sake!!! How can you suggest that people like this can be helped or indeed that they should be helped!! People like that want remmoving from society and I for one would sooner see my taxes go to locking them up in maximum security prisons than 'rehabilitating' them and placing them back in society! You can't use your black kid on drugs committing crime argument (which incidentally I do agree with) in this case Peter, they are both very far removed from one another!
