Do You Remember Vanessa George?
Convicted in 2009 for abusing children in her care and swapping images online.
I know she has served more than the 7 year minimum, but do you agree with her release, or should she serve longer?

This question mirrors the recent release of McGreavy and the workings of the Parole Board.
We don't have access to the reports and input relied on to justify their decision.
Does she still present a threat? Nobody can be 100% certain but the risk posed must have been considered so low that she can now be released.
The PB are not infallible but the decision will not have been made lightly.

Her case is one of many which, having served the minimum sentence, has to be reviewed.
There may well be other conditions placed on her on release but as I mentioned, decisions have to be made based on available up to date information.
As was said in the McGreavy thread,let's hope the PB have got it right.

It was an awful crime, but we have to leave it to the experienced to judge whether she's a threat. Paying to keep her in when she isn't, makes little sense, if she's really understood how unacceptable her behaviour was. After 10 years it'd be simply desire for vengeance rather being rational otherwise; and I'd doubt the abused would be concerned, they may not even know.
It is easy to dwell on the original crime and rightly, the PB would seriously consider the nature of the offences.
However, in the passage of time, a lot of discussion would have taken place with the likely level of re-offending being a serious factor together with how she has responded to a lengthy jail sentence.
Many sentences, in the eyes of the public, are never long enough but the PB have to work with what they have got and make reasoned decisions.
