Saw this article on Google News which confirmed my suspicions that all was not as simple as it seemed in the recent furore regarding a teacher on the paedophiles register being allowed to teach. Cases like this are not what such registers are for in my opinion, he's clearly not a threat to young people and to lump him in with people who abuse children serves only to reduce the efficacy of the register.

Guess this has interested me more as its my old home town and I know the school.

I agree as usual the papers have inflamed what to me seemed a reasonable decision. They are of course now provoking a kneejerk reaction, which means bad legislation. Which you can bet the European Court/Humans Rights Legislation will overturn sometime.

The conditions that apply to signing the Sexual Offences Register are wide, and can haunt a person for life. Similarly cautions are not included. It seems to me sensible for the so called List 99 and the Register to have different criteria.

And I know for a fact I had underage sex LOL, right when I was underage to. Does that mean if I had been caught both me and her would now be on it?
