Yeah,if it did happen to Tony Blair's kids or any of those MPs kids,then Sarah's Law would be brought in to the full in a flash. Obviously Tony Blair,David Blunkett and the others couldn't give a rats ass about protecting kids from such sickos,otherwise they'd let us have access to the sex offenders list.
I know that I would hold them responsible if either of my 2 kids ever,ever fall victim to a sicko - not that I want that to happen of course.The safety and protection of my kids is my main concern.Why would I blame them?because they won't let me have any kind of access or info about any sickos living in my area or next door to me.I even worte to my MP about Sarah's Law once and how I can't protect my kid (only had the one back then!) if the government are refusing to give parents what they want most and felt (and still do!) that it is my right to have all the info about child sex beasts near me and what they had said ok to was nowhere good enough - Oh,leave it to the police,they're the experts is what I more or less got.Not good enough at all
In Sussex alone,there are over 3,100 child sex beasts and that scares me,since I'm in the Sussex region. How many are in your areas?I only know how many are in mine,as it was in yesterday's News Of The World paper.

I live in the north east england and i still walk my daughter to the school gate and will continue to do so.My friend and i always wait until the teachers have come onto the playground.My daughters school is on a main road and we have to pass a grave yard which overlooks my daughters school.
There was a incident 2 weeks before the kids broke up from school where 2 12 year old girls from the secondary school were cutting through the grave yard on the way home for there dinner and a man exsposed himself and threatened the girls with a knife. The girls ran back to the secondary school and the police were called, but the man was never caught. One of the girls was my neighbours daughter and it really frightened her.
My husband says when our daughter goes to secondary school in 2 years time that my middle son who will be 14.5 by then will be walking her to and from school. It is a bad day when you have to go to these lengths to make sure your child gets to and from school safely.

Yeah Ann,it is terrible that parents,like yourself still make sure your kids get to school safely.That must have been such a scary experience for your neighbour's daughter,seeing that creep flash himself at her and threaten her and her friend with a knife.
My oldest child starts nursery this September and I'm already dreading leaving her there,because of all the things you hear about kids being lured away from playgrounds,the Dunblane shooting and 16 children died.
Me and my hubby have already decided that we are going to use a "special password" for our daughter to know and that if any stranger does attempt to take her from school,then they'd need to know the password.
Plus,also at my daughter's school they ask the kids if they know who the person is who the teachers haven't seen before,before letting the child go with the person.Even if the person says I'm here to pick up so -and-so - if the child doesn't know them,the school refuse to hand over the child.

i live in north east england, a few weeks ago my family was hit with the bombshell a relative had been raped when only 15 and the same guy had felt up a 12 year old relative. The family was beside themselves, not self pity but full of hatred. However in the last few days i have seen our situation become paler in significance to what is going on in those parents lives, it is never nice and what has happened to our relatives is unforgivable but at the end of the day our relatives are still alive, healthy and well despite what they have been through. My prayers and thoughts go out to the two families at this difficult moment. I hope justice is served to these people accordingly and i also think the law system in the UK sucks!

There is a song that sprung straight to mind when the news was announced, its is on destination anywhere, "August 7 4:15."


RIP Holly and Jessica

Since this is being talked about,I feel that I should share this with you,that I got from a friend today.It sure as hell makes you think.Gave me the chills when I read it.

All parents with children who play on the internet should read this.But it's not really just for parents though - it should be taken as a warning to everyone,regardless of their age!

Very scary.

Shannon could hear the footsteps behind her as she walked toward home.
The thought of being followed made her heart beat faster.
"You're being silly," she told herself, "no one is following you." To be safe, she began to walk faster, but the footsteps kept up with her pace.
She was afraid to look back and she was glad she was almost home.
Shannon said a quick prayer, "God please get me home safe." She saw the porch light burning and she leaned against the door for a moment,relieved to be in the safety of her home. She glanced out the window to see if anyone was there. The sidewalk was empty.

After tossing her books on the sofa, she decided to grab a snack and get on-line.~
She logged on under her screen name ByAngel213.
She checked her Buddy List and saw GoTo123 was on.
She sent him an instant message: *****

ByAngel213: Hi. I'm glad you are on! I thought someone was following me home today. It was really weird!
GoTo123: LOL You watch too much TV. Why would someone be following you?
Don't you live in a safe neighborhood?
ByAngel213: Of course I do. LOL I guess it was my imagination cuz' I didn't see anybody when I looked out.
GoTo123: Unless you gave your name out on-line. You haven't done that have you?
ByAngel213: Of course not. I'm not stupid you know.
GoTo123: Did you have a softball game after school today?
ByAngel213: Yes and we won!!
GoTo123: That's great! Who did you play?
ByAngel213: We played the Hornets. LOL. Their uniforms are so gross! They look like bees. LOL
GoTo123: What is your team called?
ByAngel213: We are the Canton Cats. We have tiger paws on our uniforms.They are really cool.
GoTo123: Did you pitch?
ByAngel213: No I play second base. I got to go. My homework has to be done before my parents get home. I don't want them mad at me. Bye!
GoTo123: Catch you later. Bye

Meanwhile...GoTo123 went to the member menu and began to search for her profile. When it came up, he highlighted it and printed it out. He took out a pen and began to write down what he knew about Angel so far.Her name: Shannon Birthday: Jan. 3, 1985 Age: 13 State where she lived:
North Carolina Hobbies: softball, chorus, skating and going to the mall.
Besides this information, he knew she lived in Canton because she had just told him. He knew she stayed by herself until 6:30 p.m. every afternoon until her parents came home from work. He knew she played softball on Thursday afternoons on the school team, and the team was named the Canton Cats. Her favorite number 7 was printed on her jersey.
He knew she was in the seventh grade at the Canton Junior High School.
She had told him all this in the conversations they had on-line.
He had enough information to find her now.
Shannon didn't tell her parents about the incident on the way home from the ball park that day. She didn't want them to make a scene and stop her from walking home from the softball games.
Parents were always overreacting and hers were the worst. It made her wish she were not an only child. Maybe if she had brothers and sisters,her parents wouldn't be so overprotective.
By Thursday, Shannon had forgotten about the footsteps following her.
Her game was in full swing when suddenly she felt someone staring at her. It was then that the memory came back. She glanced up from her second base position to see a man watching her closely. He was leaning against the fence behind first base and he smiled when she looked at him. He didn't look scary and she quickly dismissed the fear she had felt.
After the game, he sat on a bleacher while she talked to the coach.
She noticed his smile once again as she walked past him. He nodded and she smiled back.
He noticed her name on the back of her shirt.He knew he had found her.
Quietly, he walked a safe distance behind her. It was only a few blocks to Shannon's home, and once he saw where she lived he quickly returned to the park to get his car. Now he had to wait.
He decided to get a bite to eat until the time came to go to Shannon's house. He drove to a fast food restaurant and sat there until time to make his move.
Shannon was in her room later that evening when she heard voices in the living room. "Shannon, come here," her father called. He sounded upset and she couldn't imagine why.
She went into the room to see the man from the ballpark sitting on the sofa.
"Sit down," her father began, "this man has just told us a most
interesting story about you."
Shannon sat back.
How could he tell her parents anything? She had never seen him before today!

"Do you know who I am, Shannon?" the man asked.
No," Shannon answered.
"I am a police officer and your online friend, GoTo123."
Shannon was stunned. "That's impossible! GoTo is a kid my age! He's 14 and he lives in Michigan!"
The man smiled. "I know I told you all that, but it wasn't true. You see, Shannon, there are people on-line who pretend to be kids; I was one of them. But while others do it to find kids and hurt them, I belong to a group of parents who do it to protect kids from predators.
I came here to find you to teach you how dangerous it is to give out too much information to people on-line.
You told me enough about yourself to make it easy for me to find you.Your name, the school you went to, the name of your ball team and the position you played. The number and name on your jersey just made finding you a breeze."
Shannon was stunned. "You mean you don't live in Michigan?"
He laughed. "No, I live in Raleigh. It made you feel safe to think I was so far away, didn't it?"
She nodded.
"I had a friend whose daughter was like you. Only she wasn't as lucky.The guy found her and murdered her while she was home alone.
Kids are taught not to tell anyone when they are alone, yet they do it all the time on-line. The wrong people trick you into giving out information a little here and there on-line. Before you know it, you have told them enough for them to find you without even realizing you have done it.
I hope you've learned a lesson from this and won't do it again"
"Tell others about this so they will be safe too?"
"It's a promise!"
That night Shannon and her Dad and Mom all knelt down together and thanked God for protecting Shannon from what could have been a tragic situation.

*****NOW*****

Please send this to as many people as you can to teach them not to give any information about themselves. This world we live in today is too dangerous to even give out your age, let alone anything else.

All I can say is rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and I hope the people who did this awfulthing will be locked up for lifetime. They don't deserve a live they broke a lot hearts.

Yeah - he's now been sectioned under the mental health act & transferred to Rampton in Nottinghamshire - thats near where I live. I take comfort from the knowledge that Rampton is filled with truly pshycopathic ppl (think Beverly Allet), but hope that it doesn't give him an excuse to be let out in some kind of rehabilitation program (which is what he is hoping).

Personally I'd put him on a boat & send a nice big missile in his direction.

He's no more mentally ill than the rest of us.He knew full too well what he was doing that day he kidnapped and killed the girls.And he knows what he's doing now.How sick can one person be to make out to be "unfit" and "mentally ill" that he didn't know what he was doing
