Paedophiles face 'chemical castration'

ITN - Wednesday, June 13 02:18 pm

Some sex offenders are to be chemically castrated as part of an overhaul of how paedophiles are handled.

Volunteers will be given drugs to suppress their libido under the pilot scheme which will also see compulsory lie detector tests introduced for sex offenders.

Home Secretary John Reid has announced proposals later to allow parents and guardians limited access to information about convicted paedophiles.

For the first time they will be given the right to ask whether a person who has contact with their child is a sex offender. The plans, first announced in April, will mainly apply if the individual is able to spend time alone with a youngster.

There will also be other limited circumstances when disclosures can be made. The system would build on laws which already allow police to approach and warn a woman who has begun a relationship with a known paedophile.

Prime Minister Tony Blair told the Commons the new laws are "a sensible, worthwhile step forward".

The NSPCC welcomed the development, saying "open access" could force convicted paedophiles underground and place youngsters at greater risk of assault.

But the children's charity warned that the new disclosure plans could over-stretch limited resources.

Director and chief executive Dame Mary Marsh said: "We fear the police and other agencies may not have enough officers and funding to make fully considered decisions on information sharing while keeping a grip on known offenders."

The package of measures is expected to put an end to calls for a British version of Megan's Law.

The US legislation commemorates seven-year-old Megan Kanka who was raped, strangled and her body stuffed in a plastic toy chest by neighbour Jesse Timmendequas in the New Jersey suburb of Hamilton Township in 1994.

The murder of eight-year-old schoolgirl Sarah Payne by paedophile Roy Whiting in July 2000 sparked a nationwide campaign for similar legislation to be introduced in Britain, dubbed "Sarah's Law".

The system now being proposed would have arguably had no effect on the Sarah Payne case, as she was grabbed by a stranger, and is a far cry from the "Sarah's Law" originally envisaged by campaigners.

The news about a letter sent by a mystery person regarding the whereabouts of the "body" of Madeleine McCann sends a chill down my spine. I do not even dare to contemplate the fate of the poor child, as yet unknown. It is too painful to do so. I cannot even begin to imagine the anguish of what the parents are going through. All these have given me an irrational fear regarding the safety of my own child. You see, Maddy is only exactly one week older than my own little girl. Although we do not know who had kidnapped her, a possibility remains that it might be the work of a paedophile. Or worse a paedophile ring. When I think about this, a surge of anger would well up inside me, like this very moment!!

So, should we chemically castrate these paedophile bastards? Damn right, we should!! What is there to think? If I have my own way, I would have them surgically castrated. The effect is permanent, and they would be punished forever. Even better, I had previously advocated a death sentence for these low life, especially if the child had been murdered. However, just as I objected to the taking of life as in the case of an abortion (see previous post), I think now perhaps I am beginning to move away from the hard principle of the death penalty. This change of philosophy was triggered during my attendance at a forum at the American Society of Anesthesiologists last year. The debate was about whether a physician should assist in carrying out the death sentence. A very hot topic in the US currently. I am afraid the case put forward by those against it had swayed my thinking.

But castration? Yeah, I would offer my services free of charge.
