Paedophiles living in my area
I have been reliably informed (by staff), that a special needs care home in my village has 7 convicted paedophiles and two convicted rapists (one of whom has committed 12 rapes - 2 at knifepoint).
I am a mother of a ten-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl and am horrified that these predators are being housed in a community mostly made of young families and old people living alone.
I have always kept a close eye on my children, but my ten-year-boy is of an age where he goes out with his friends, and I no longer have the luxury of knowing where he is 24 hours a day.
The care home in question is situated some 1000 yards away froma playing field and half a mile away from a primary school and nursery - what braindead muppet thought that it would be a good idea to lump these "people" together where temptation is just a short walk away.
We live in the fens, near Wisbech, Cambs and there are many places that a paedophile or rapist could take a victim and they would not be seen or heard.
WHAT SORT OF COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN THAT PUTS THE RIGHTS OF PREDATORY INDIVIDUALS BEFORE THOSE OF DECENT LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS AND IN PARTICULAR, CHILDREN.
What can I do about it? Why should I keep my kids under lock and key - do they not have the right to live a normal and carefree childhood?

Peodo's and rapists have to live somewhere?
Yeah,on a island in the middle of nowhere then once a month shoot the b*st*rds till they're dead,to hell with the do-gooders they are everywhere and not worth the time of day,BUT an island isn't available so put them near the closest school you can find,i mean,schools only contain kids,,DONT THEY?

Me again!
I and I'm sure everyone else as well, wasn't defending convicted paedophiles.
What we were trying to get across was that maybe, just maybe Ruthiek's sources weren't reliable, and these poor unfortunates might not be anything of the sort!
Of course you have to protect and shield your children, I have two of my own for heavens sake, but we have to bear in mind that not everyone who's accused of being one of these vile individuals is indeed a paedophile.

to be honest, ignorance is bliss is it not? I bet 100's of thousands of people live "in the same area" as paedophiles and rapists, but just don't know about it. (and niether iin my opinion should they) It seems like you have a lot of community gossip here, but i would doubt the risk is any different anywhere else in the country really. You are probably in a better position than ost, as these people are probably being looked after very clodely by the probation service
Scotman - "Paedophilia is not a mental illness, but is regarded as a 'disorder of sexual preference', to quote the World Health Organisation formulation". Essentially, paedophilia is just a sexual orientation. People with this orientation have the same moral choices as anyone else i.e. to behave with decency and restraint or to force onto others their preferred type of sex.
I have suffered from depression and my uncle suffers from schizophrenia, as does my friend's daughter (following being spiked with ecstacy at the age of 14). These are mental disorders - none of us choose to have a mental disorder, but schizophrenia and other conditions like it, can be controlled and/or treated using prescription drugs and counselling etc. Can paedohphilia and violent sexual tendancies be managed in this way? It has been proven to not be the case.
Paedophiles themselves have sometimes expressed scepticism about the feasibility of 'treatment'. As one convicted paedophile commented: "There has been a considerable amount of discussion recently about rehabilitating, even curing paedophiles. I do not believe this is possible. I am a paedophile" (Atherton, 2001).
I have taken these quotes from MIND in Manchester website.
So no, Scotman, I am no psychiatrist - however, before I go spouting off at the mouth, I make sure I am well informed and know a little of what I am talking about.

I was only asking what exactly you were having the problems with, not saying that i agree with the situation. I too would be upset to find that I had paedophiles, murderers or rapists in my area (Im not far from you either) BUT what i was trying to get across was that until you decide what is worse, knowing or not knowing where they are contained, you cannot make a decision on your life. They will be housed in all sorts of areas, not just little fen villages or they will be let out of prison back into normal society. There will always be a school, college or children nearby.
My boyfriends ex wife was great friends with a man who has just been found guilty of having thousands of pics of children on his laptop. He has a good, well respected position in the town. Now we know, we are appalled (my husband hasnt associated with him for a few years) but will not move from where we live and our friends because of it. That does not mean that i dont feel the need to protect my child, I would like him to feel safe and have a life where his parents dont hide him away.

Oh My God, I CANNOT believe most of these responses to your post Ruthiek. What the hell is going on???? Ruthiek has been told that there are convicted Peodphiles in her area, and naturally as a parent she is worried. And some people have came on and from what I can see, given her a hard time about it.
Since WHEN has concern about the safety of children been called Paranoid???? Yes, these men might be innocent, but from all accounts, Ruthiek has reliable sources, infact, even the local kids clubs have been warned about these people, so she/he has EVERY RIGHT to be upset and concerned about the news.
Children are innocent and should be protected, and I find it disgusting that the rights of peopaphiles and rapist are put before our childrens. And if I was in Ruthieks position I too would react just the same.

I am very surprised at some of your comments here. I have a son and would not be happy if I lived around there! What is wrong with you people? She is just a concerned mother like anyone would be. I also think we should have something like Megan's Law over here. I am constantly worried about my son and am dreading the day he is old enough to go off on his own with his mates.
Ruthiek - this all seems to have got rather heated. Can I suggest you go and see your local Parish/Town Councillor and ask them to investigate the truth of the claims on your behalf. If there is a safety issue they will then be able to take it up with the local authority or at least reassure you. I know that going to a councillor seems an odd thing to do but it is the proper route.
HELLION - thanks for your comment. I have already contacted the Parish Council, School and Nursery and although I am yet to hear back from the Parish Council, the School has confirmed that it and the Nursery were aware of the situation. They are not able to tell me when they were informed, but I think that with the pressure the parents and other villagers are now putting on them, we will have more answers shortly.
These situations always end up with people butting heads - but the simple fact remains that parents will always be outraged that this happens in their town/village, and all they ask is that their children are safe to go out and lead normal lives without the risk of being molested (or worse).
What most of the parents who have spoken to me are annoyed about, is the fact that this information has been concealed from them for god knows how long. I do not have a problem with these people being held in a secure unit (allbeit close to home), but I need to know that my family and my neighbours families are safe - I don't think that's too much to ask.

ruthiek: i am totally behind you on this one, i am utterly shocked at some of the responses you have recieved back, infact i cant type what i really want to say because i am so mad at some of the responses and my reply to some of them would probably get me banned from this site, so i shall try to hold my tongue....how dare they make you sound like you have the problem and you are being unfair because that is the way some comments have come across to me! i cannot bare to read these rational and correct/ fair/ equality etc's peoples comments, there is no such thing when it comes to your children and their safety ! simply castrate these offenders, thats what i would do and dont anyone dare tell me thats not the solution, i think even doing that and letting them continue to breathe is too generous. ...................... cont...
ITS A FACT PERVERTS ARE LIVING CLOSE TO YOUR HOME AND YOUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN ! i would be more than concerned and i wouldnt sit back and let it continue on my door step.... sure my neighbour could be one, the local policeman could be one, the local shopkeeper could be one..... who knows??? i dont know but i have warned all of my four children about perverts and strangers and what can happen, also discussed no-one even whom they look up to eg. teachers/friends parents etc etc have a right to touch them anywhere where they know is not right....but to know you have them grouped close by to you to REHABILITATE THEM ....... THAT IS AN INSULT !!!! a paedophile cannot and will not be changed and that has been said by their own admission by the ones that are honest enough to admit it HOW DISCUSTING! we are not talking about someone that wants to give up smoking or drinking but cant and needs help.. they want to have sex with young children they lust over the thought and some will carry it out if given the slightest chance too.. THATS NOT A NORMAL PROBLEM THAT SOCIETY SHOULD HELP THEM RECTIFY - !!!!!!! and for anyone that wants to be smart and say what about female perverts they cant be castrated, well o.k heres my solution to it all ... BRING IN THE DEATH PENALTY !
for that and other crimes because this country is going down the pan and why because the law is too soft !
AMONGST MANY MANY TRAGIC STORIES OF THIS SUCH CRIME IT WAS NOT SO LONG AGO IT WAS IN THE PAPERS AND NEWS ABOUT A COUPLE WHO RAPED A *** SEVEN WEEK OLD BABY *****.......BLESS THEM THEY COULDNT HELP IT, LETS GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE........ SHOULD WE REALLY ??????? anyone that thinks we should basically is just as sick as they are!

OMG if this is true then the only thing i suggest is get together with all the other mothers and fathers in your area and terrorise your MP or mayor whoever is reponseable for putting them there don't back down and don't give in we all must stand together as desent people to change things
