I'm divided over the whole issue...As a parent I'd want to know just so I could keep an eye on my children.As a parent I'd also want to know that those that break the conditions of their release and disappear will be looked for and the public asked to help just as we do for other types of offender.

However I see the potential for vigilantes in the community getting out of hand and some innocent folk getting hurt.

How then to protect our children.Are we to always have to keep them tied to apron strings?Why do our children have to be perpetual prisoners.Why should any parent have to fear for their child seeking to have independance and the right to walk to school or do do errands unaccompanied as part of their growing up?

How to get the balance right? I've absolutely no idea what the answer is.One can always be wise in hindsight but it only takes a minute for a peadophile to strike and it only takes one poor photograph for the wrong person to become a victim of a mob.
