I did hear a news piece on the radio yesterday morning saying that the government was considering giving mothers the chance to 'vet' new partners to see if they were sex offenders, at the time I thought it was quite a reasonable proposal, however since I have given it more thought and knowing how this government likes to know everything about us, I wonder how long it would be before such checks became compulsory, making it criminal offence to date someone without the relevant checks being done.
