    Considering the high recidivism rates for sex offenders, the procedures put in place to monitor their where-abouts, restrict any contacts with children, and make this information known to the general public is not unreasonable. This type of treatment of paroled/released sex offenders has come about because the public at large has no other way, except the death penalty or life in prison with no parole, to protect their children from repeat offenders. Sexual predators ruin young peoples lives, and the lives of their families, friends and loved ones. The emotional scars and inability to form normal trusting, loving relationships because of this abuse can be a life-long handicap for these victims.

    It should be treated as a crime, won't give them the satisfaction of labeling them as mental patients that really can't help it. Letting them go after they served their time is the consequence. The penalties for said crime should be higher, especially here in the netherlands.

    The article makes some very good points, considering its high reoffending rate i always imagined it to be more of a mental disability than a choice to commit a crime anyway. I honestly think someone who wants sexual relations with a child is quite likely sick in some way, of course its a bit different if we are talking a 15 yr old girl and a 17 yr old boy, or a girl slightly under the legal age who pulls a man in a club, but for the 40 year olds snatching kids i think it is definetly a sickness...

    I have a friend of a friend on the sexual offenders register because he had naked pictures of a girl in his year at school, just thought i would add this in reference to this part of the article

    This sounds as titillatingly vast a number as it is meant to sound - although closer scrutiny shows that it certainly does not mean 30,000 icons of unparalleled evil are out on the loose; among those whose details are kept and lives monitored for ever, a great many are included for nothing more dreadful than slightly under-age, consensual sex.
