Letzgo Hunting - anything wrong with that?

...and perhaps from many people a slightly more rational attitude toward these issues? Firstly, accept that suspicion does not equal guilt, and secondly understand that while there's so much fury around it'll be damn near impossible to persuade people with paedophile feelings to go and get help or assist in researching the issue.

Yes, it's appalling, but there are lots of appalling things that people do, and the key to reducing that is to understand what leads them to do those things.

I agree entirely. It should be easy to go to your doctor and opt for chemical castration.

Though I have a huge amount of sympathy for the victims.

There needs to be help for children who end up suffering. Has Jimmy Savile taught us nothing?

Only get caught after you die?

That's probably the kind of response that dissuades them from going to the doc.

I disagree. Until the police setup their own honeypot unit.

A honeypot is no way to catch criminals, you simply entrap the curious

Whats the lesson we should learn? Do you not stop to think that many of these people get/got away with it precisely because people faced with the accusation don't have the courage to tackle it expressly for the reason that its going to cause an almighty storm of megatulip proportions and the idea of getting it wrong is just too scary to mention?

How would you want to be treated if your ex decided to use "He's interfered with the kids" as the nuclear weapon against you?
Once that button is pushed, your life is over regardless of the facts. I can say that because I know a chap that got accused of exactly that by his ex-wife. He had to watch his own fathers face as he was led into the docks at Bristol over the summer. Its been dis-proven but you can't take back the hurt it has caused or the doubt now its planted.

The rhetoric needs winding down by a significant margin.

Just for gathering evidence. And only because the police aren't doing their job.

And honeytraps are quite legal. Police often setup lorries with back door open and boxes of goods on display. Then nab anyone who has a go.

So Bob is going to dress up as a child and setup with back door open and goods on display?
