quite right colette, whenever i have seen these individuals interviewed it is clear that they have ice running through their veins.
they will know what to say to the parole board though, it is a sickness that cannot be cured.

A sickness that cannot be cured......If it was an animal Howie, what would you do with it?
There are lots of things in this modern age that I do not agree with but hey, I'm just one person and go with peace and the majority.
But ask the majority what should happen to the above. 6 foot under by the end of the week.
grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.

I believe you are right Ian; there's no cure, they're no use to and are a danger to, society.
Why pay tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds to keep them in prison ? - But you see, you can't do that, because it is against their Human Rights; no mention of the Human Rights of those they violate.

I am, as you know, a battleaxe with a soft centre. But having worked with these people and with their victims I have no doubts that they do not, ever, change regardless of how they manage to learn how to play the system and hoodwink people who should know better. Someone convicted of this type of offence will always pose a risk and should never be allowed out again. End of.

Unfortunately, many of these people live outwardly normal lives. I once had a student nurse working for me as a second job, he used to do the odd night. He was quite young, late 20's early 30's, and he was married with two children. While he was working there one of our residents lost a brand new credit card, which was subsequently used to buy a computer but they could not identify the buyer. However, a bit later, a student nurse was arrested because someone following him on the computer in the hospital (!) found it on a child pornography site. When he was taken in an astute police officer made the connection between the two crimes. This man had sat one night playing monopoly with my young son, when I had been called in to deal with a crisis. It still makes my blood run cold, but there was absolutely nothing outward to tell you that he was not an entirely normal, pleasant person.

Diana, I too had a similar experience and you're quite right, most times there is absolutely nothing outward to tell you that they are not entirely normal people. My girls were very young about 4 and 6 yrs old and we made friends with a couple at the school who had children the same age as ours. Occasionally we babysat for each other, I would sit at their house and my friend (the wife) would sit at ours. One time my friend called to say she couldn't do one night previously planned but that her husband would come instead. I said no and cancelled the night out, I just didn't feel comfortable with that.
Some months later the husband was convicted with paedophilia and the wife knew, I shudder when I think back to the days we spent with them on family days out.

People like us will never understand it, and for that I am glad. If it were me I would have killed him with my bare hands without a second thought, never mind stayed with him.

What I do not understand and never will, is how they can be like that when they have children of their own.
