Quite a number of years ago we had in Fatorda,Goa the case of one (British national) called Freddy Peats,who had a home full of children. He was engaged in practising pedophily for a long period of time. Peats was sent to prison after being found guilty,after due process of law. Then, in 1998 there was a widely notorious case of Marc Doutroux,which rocked Belgium, with far-reaching repercussions in Government circles,involving high and mighty,personages.
It is now well-nigh four months that Portugal is plagued with the scourge of pedophily. Not a day goes by, without the media unravelling new cases. Center-stage is the highly respected "CASA PIA" orphanage-school in Lisbon, which churrns out a good many young people,who later intergrate into the charmed circle of power-wielders. Renowned TV presenter Carlos Cruz and ex Ambassador Jorge Ritto are at present in the eye of the storm. With both already languishing in jail and many more following them , the question that my mind seeks an answer to is: has pedophily developped to a point,that it has turned contagious ? I think a debate on the subject would be fruitful in shedding light. Think-tankers, get into action! ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
