-Caveat Lector- so, more paediatricians gonna be driven from their homes, uh? happened in Wales last year, a lady who had worked for years in a community suddenly had her windows broken and death threats from vigilante groups "protecting their children" all on the basis of her job title. notice the audience our beloved new home sec is speaking to- "news of the world", slightly downmarket from the enquirer. Sunday, 10 June, 2001, 01:48 GMT 02:48 UK Access to paedophile list considered Sarah Payne's case ignited a debate on data access Newly-appointed Home Secretary David Blunkett has said he will consider giving the public limited access to information on paedophiles. Writing in the News of the World, the former education minister said he would consider all proposals put forward including "controlled access to information about sex offenders". The government has faced pressure to allow the public access to the register of sex offenders so they can be warned about dangerous offenders living in their area. But senior police officers have raised concerns that it would drive offenders underground, making it more difficult to keep track of them. The home secretary has promised to consider changing the law Following the killing of eight-year-old Sarah Payne last year, the News of the World launched a campaign to secure public access to the sex offenders register, a so-called "Sarah's Law". Mr Blunkett's article in that paper states: "As the prime minister promised, I will be looking very hard to see what more could be done to protect our children. "As part of that exercise, I will look at all the proposals put forward, including the possibility of controlled access to information about sex offenders." Internet crackdown He added that the government intends to take further action to stop paedophiles preying on children through the internet. "We plan to give police power to confiscate computers and provide measures protecting children with internet access," he said. "Paedophiles who try to lure children to meet through chatrooms will face tough new penalties." <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
