I Cannot Believe What I Am Reading

[hc4361]

A mother chooses to HAVE to keep her daughters locked up at night so that her paedophile husband can live with her. He is considered a danger to children and the police are monitoring the situation. Why would anyone choose to live like that? I only there is never a fire while those girls are locked in their bedrooms.

What a bizarre situation.....!!!

Do paedophiles only get their 'urges' during the night?!?

If the facts are as reported, then shame on the Mother.

[hc4361]

It's beyond my comprehension especially in light of the social services' sometimes heavy handed approach to child safety.

[icecreamicecream]

But what about the paedophile husbands human rights?Remember ECHR rules are very stringent regarding the human rights of criminals,rapists,paedophiles,murderers,etc,etc...Surely you wouldn't want to infringe his human rights,HC or Jack.....(sarcasm)

[pusskin]

Mother needs locking up, and hang the paedo from a tree!!!
So much for social services. I'm fuming reading this

[jim360]

Thank goodness social services don't reach for a rope so quickly, though.

A bizarre situation... reading the article I would seriously question the mother's judgement. Love, or the illusion of it, makes people do crazy things -- this is one of the crazier.

[Canary42]

It's the Daily Mail - surely you don't believe it.

[icecreamicecream]

The husbands human rights to a family life must come paramount.Remember ECHR laws are supreme.Stuff the little girls rights not be molested....(sarcasm)

^ Yes I wondered if it was a Daily Wail 'Non story' that has been misquoted.
Seems unbeliveable.

[mushroom25]

the story originated in the sunday mirror, which the mail article has acknowleged:-

are they all lying? why would theyt do that?

[jim360]

The article says that in the past he's committed child abuse. If so then its important to keep a close watch on him -- but paedophilia in itself is not a crime unless you act on it. On those circumstances he sort of has to be allowed to live a normal life, with precautions for the two girls in question.

It's a complex situation but once the woman 'chose' to fall in love with someone who was also a paedophile it's hard to see what else can happen. She herself is capable of looking after her daughters so you can't take them away from her just because of who her current husband is.

I'd say she's being utterly stupid -- but the social services seem to me to be doing as best they can in the circumstances.

Jim....there are no circumstances in which a paedophile....especially a convicted one.... should be allowed to have a normal life...none.

And no mother should let her children be in a house with one.......if he wants to act he will.

[gness]

And while I'm on my high horse......what is a normal life for a paedophile?

[hc4361]

Just a few months ago he was deemed to be a risk to children of the same age as the daughters. He must still be considered a risk if the family have to go to such lengths to allow him to stay in the house and he is still not allowed unsupervised contact with children.

What also bothers me is the neighbours clearly know that he is a paedophile and have been shouting abuse. This cannot be good for the children to live in such an atmosphere and it is possible that children at the girls' school also know.

[Prudie]

This is appalling on so many levels, how on earth are the children going to be affected psychologically from living in this situation and having a mother who puts them in it. It cannot be defended however I believe Jim has hit the nail on the head, the illusion of love does make people do really crazy things.The mother is clearly deluded.

[cassa333]

I don't think paedophiles is restricted to night time hours!! I would be interested to know if that is not the case though because we could all be safe in the knowledge that our children are safe during the day

[mrs_overall]

I don't know what all the fuss is about.
He is obviously a part time paedophile and perfectly safe to children during daylight hours. It maybe he is only a danger when there is a full moon.
Now if you will excuse me, I must go and deal with another of those flying pigs outside

[TonyV]

Cannot be right?

[cassa333]

Oh b::::er only half my post shows!!

If anything surely the paedophile should be the one in an alarmed locked room and not the children?

[TonyV]

Mrs overall will catch pig for you one just coming over here

[B00]

A questions just occurred to me whilst reading this, one that im not entirely sure i'd like to know the answer to!

If a man's sexual preference is towards children, why is he even with a grown woman? What's he getting out of that relationship?
