I have no problem with upsetting the paranoid society we have become.
I can imagine everyone standing on the other side of the road holding their hands up to the approval of each other.

I can totally understand where your coming from- but, sadly, that's the society we've become. Remember the case where two PCSO's left a child to drown as it would have "breached health and safety regulations" for them to enter the water?

Good idea to create a poll.
On This Morning a senior lawyer was quoted as saying that he has examined all the evidence based upon legal protocol and that there would definitely be grounds for arrest.
During the discussion, a woman, who was there to balance out the views of the man who did the investigating that lead to the programme being made, said something odd. She said that her father used to work at TV Centre and as a child he used to take her in to meet all the Radio 1 starts of the day. She met DLT, Tony Blackburn and all the others, but, her father would never introduce her to Jimmy Saville. She then began to verbally wonder why on air and, to me, there looked to be a dawn of realisation in her facial expression.
She then said that she was going to talk to her father about it now she's an adult as she was never, ever given an explanation as to why JS was the only one she was not allowed to meet.
If anybody wants to watch it, it's here (the discussion is the first item, where they normally review the days papers):

God knows how long they had been there but I'm pretty sure we where the only 4 people in the zoo at that time. Obviously the mother needed help but couldn't get it as she didn't want to leave her little boy alone. She rubbed cream on his leg hoping it would slip out but it was stuck fast. I offered to help and climbed over the fence and started to push his leg from the other side. Again nothing. I asked her to throw the cream over and I
would put some on his knee from my side. The boys mum looked at me like I'd just spat in her boys face. She then proceeded to yank his leg until it became unstuck, clearly causing him pain, and ignored me thereafter. I was so offended. Clearly I wasn't looking to rub cream onto her boys leg for sexual gratification. I'd have to be a pretty mental customer to mess with a boy in front of his mum and my own wife!

I understand the sentiments of what Maggy has said in post 79, but, just imagine if you had come across that child on your own and his mother was not there. What do you think could have happened if you had been rubbing cream into him to try and get him out from the inside of the enclosure and his mother then appeared?
I also think that society presumes women will be less likely to harm a child, so would be viewed with less suspicion.
This is unwise as, of course, there are female paedophiles too. Maybe this is why people seem to be more outraged when a woman is caught doing these things.
The most hateful comments I have heard about Myra Hindley have come from women, in particular women who have had children.
