Nice switch of subject there and a clever bit of editing to make it look as if I said something I didn't...

We don't have to read their minds, we know what they are, they have already proved what they are and been convicted for what they are.

Almost right, except that where you say "are" you should say "have done" *past* tense.

"Counselling" yes stick them in a room "Paedos Anomonous" I doubt the "counselling" available to them from the state is of the quality or the quantity that would be required to have a lasting affect. Yes, that is an assumption but you only have to look at the quality of other social services to know that I am not wrong,

It's a pity Sociable isn't here at the moment. I think he'd have something to say about you denigrating the *entire* Social Services system in this way.

And I still stand by main point of this thread that they cannot be "cured".

I've addressed that already, I'm not going to do it again.

Put them on a register, yes. I believe the guy that killed Sarah Payne was on a register. Registers do nothing.

You again take *one* example and try to make it a general case.

Try to prevent them from re-offending, Sorry, trying isn't good enough. They "must" be preveted from re-offending.
We are not talking about suspected paedo's here. This are ones that have been convicted. If we let them out and they kill or rape again we are guilty of negligence.

Nonsense.
Short of locking *everyone* up for life, there is *no way* to prevent *everyone* from re-offending, be they child molesters, rapists, murderers or anything else.
If *any* of them re-offend, are we *also* guilty of negligence?

How can you look the parents of a murdered child in the eye and say "sorry, we made mistake, we shouldn't have let him out, we should have watched him a bit more carefully. We wont let him out again though"

More emotional argument.
Once again I remind you that around *eighty five percent* of children who are abused suffer at the hands of a family/ close relative.
Also, despite the massive media coverage that such stories get, the actual number of children murdered is extremely small.
You would, again, do more good if, instead of demanding tougher sentences for child abusers, demand tougher sentences for drunk/ careless drivers who inflict *much* more suffering and pain *EVERY YEAR*.
