[The General]

Fair enough.
If I had witnessed an incident where I believed one or two toddlers were being sexually abused by one or two fathers I wouldn't have waited more than a week to give my concerns to anyone whom I believed would take that concern further.

I know, me too. But Diff'rent Strokes fer Diff'rent Folks and all that.
Who knows what stopped her, she might have been talked down by her husband, or she sought opinions from colleagues and I've alluded to a clinical 'omerta' that we all know exists, or whatever, but we do know what compelled her to act eventually.

[Erngath]

You don't say much about Amaral getting slaughtered on the internet. He's got family as well you know.
The hypocrisy on view here at times is a joy to behold IMO.

Has it  been suggested that he is a paedophile?

[The General]

Obviously.  Also obviously she didn’t thonk Kate or Gerry were.

I've already said that; I don't thunk she thought the McCann's were complicit, she was reporting him.

And her action was too late?

LOL.  At least we’re both thonking along the same lines on this one.

[Venturi Swirl]

You never heard people referring to the law as an ass. I do it when adults are dismissed from a custodial sentence for viewing children being severely sexually abused.

Although tough, IMO, a rope round their neck is the cure. That's the level of protection our children deserve IMO.
Sod what the current judicial system thinks.

Crikey, it’s escalated from a custodial sentence to hanging now.  I remember when Julia Somerville was investigated for having child porn in her possession.  It was photos of her children in the bath that she picked up from Boots photolab.  Would you have hanged her?

[The General]

And her action was too late?

Well that's the bit we don't know.

Lol

You saw what we were doing there.........

[Erngath]

That's about the only thing that's not been suggested about him, but I can't say I've ever seen any of it disgust you.

The hypocrisy from the Amaral bashers, who are quick off the mark, to defend a man who the file says has given the police two completely different versions of the last time he claims he seen the child alive. Bearing in, there is no proof that he ever did see her on May 3rd.

The hypocrisy is the funny part. Keep up the good work.

Can you remind me of any accusations made against Amaral.

[Erngath]

Well that's the bit we don't know.

That would be a hard cross for her to bear.

[Venturi Swirl]

Nope, it's not escalated from a custodial sentence to hanging, it's escalated from a NON custodial sentence to hanging. Come on, stick to the facts... it was non custodial sentences you were discussing.

Was Julia Somerville ever been convicted of child porn? Crikey that's a bit OTT IMO, but the convicted ones, I'll be more than happy to pull the lever.

It's the kids my opinion is putting first and foremost.

Hanging paedophiles by the neck is a sentence still practiced in other countries.

The UK is lagging behind IMO. I'm sure the kids being abused as we speak would agree.

no, it’s escalated from a call for custodial sentences for all viewers of child porn to a call for the death sentence for same.  You think we should be more like the Yemen?  Bloody hell.

[Erngath]

Bloody hell is one way to put it but it's a sad day when the Yemen is leading the way in justice for the victims of child sexual abuse... and the UK is letting their child abusers away with a slap on the wrists on occasions.

That's not my idea of justice... and it's certainly not my idea of a deterrent either. Try my approach.. and I bet you'd soon see results.

Those who view child porn should be treated in the exact same manner as those who produce it in my opinion. A zero tolerance approach might even have deterred Madeleine's ab...duc..tor had one been in place.

Would it be a deterrent ?

To most people the thought of viewing any child being abused would be utterly abhorrent.
They don't need the anticipation of any subsequent punishment to deter them from viewing such content.

I'm unsure of what would deter those who wish to view such images.
Much as some seem  to view horrible real life images of atrocities committed by terrorists.

I do not support the death penalty for anyone for any crime, and I think your suggestion is utterly over the top.  I think publishing the names of individuals who have been found guilty of such offences in the press, putting them on the sex offenders list and (depending on the seriousness of the images downloaded) prison sentences where appropriate is quite adequate IMO.   If there was a way of preventing paedos (and trolls) from gaining access to the internet at all, I’d support that too.   

[Erngath]

You think those three paedophiles in the pictures in The Express are going to be bothering anymore children?

I haven't read the article.
