So do paedophiles, however to equate murder with child molestation is a mistake and I probably shouldn't have brought it up, so let's change that to "people who commit acts of GBH" for instance, since even though the "damage" to the child may not be particularly physical, the mental effects could still be described as "grievous".
Now are you going to watch *everyone* who has got out of control and committed a serious act of GBH (which may have put someone in hospital) then been released at the end of their sentence?

Paedophiles (history shows) get about 4 years (serve 2) and then are let out, and are a danger to society. It would be interesting to see how subjective you would be if a paedophile lived next door to you and you had two young daughters. I'd bet you'd do some watching then. I would, anyone would.

May I remind you that the person *most* likely to commit abuse against a child is a parent/ close relative/ person known to and in a position of authority over that child.
