@hells-caretaker saidMaybe I am negative and I hope it yields something, but more likely the perpetrator knows that they know it is him, but gets off on the power he now holds over their misery by giving nothing away. Unless of course they have enough to convict anyway and they are just trying to get even more to make it watertight before their next move, but that might be unlikely?
Anyone else seen this?

@torunn saidCouldn't agree more, Torunn.
This tragedy is unbearable as all cases where children are victims. The lowest form of criminality, the lowest form of humans.
And unfortunately, the US has a child sex slave trade industry going on now. And a lot of it is preventable. What a shame, so few people actually care.

@earl-of-trumps saidYes, W5 a television investigative show talk about it, terrible that no one does something about it.

@very-rusty saidIt's wrong in everyway. This is the next generation of the human race so how do people not invest more in protecting children? How do sex offenders seem to get back on the streets so quickly? Public enquiries always find failings that could have been done better so it isn't just a case of being hard to do.

@petewxyz saidChildren don't seem to matter as much as we might think. It's horrible.

@petewxyz saidAccording to some here they don’t, we have to trust the “experts” and “professionals” in the parole boards.

@badradger saidForensic Sections under The Mental Health Act are very different to court sentences even though they can be the outcome of a court case secondary to psychiatric reports. For example if Section 41 is added to a Forensic Section you can only be released at the discretion of the Home Secretary and that may even be never, so a politician ultimately making the decision although they would hopefully always act on professional advice.

The world of prison sentences, however, is very different to mental health secure units like the one where your son is teaching, with the system @Divegeester is referring to sometimes seeming rather arbitrary from case to case imo.

@badradger saidDifficult jobs to do. One of my brothers-in-law nursed in Broadmoor which sounded eye opening. One of the hidden effects of limited resources is that by the time you get the place you have been carefully selected for being incredibly difficult to manage so more demanding than the mix of secure patients appeared 30 years ago based on who got accepted for where. I hope they have good staff support.
