    Signed!! I don't know if there's anything similar over there, but there are quite a few websites by state over here in the US where you can look up sex offenders and it'll tell you their degree of crime, where they live, etc, etc. Basically the same info that the petition is trying to get.

    Its a modern day witch hunt.

    Around 9-10 people were hunted and much stampede was done when german federal police have informed turkey that at some particular ips there were users downloading child pornography. Among them were doctors, engineers and people from various professions.

    All of them were acquitted later, it was either due to police/law not being able to understand the concept that on each reset adsl service's assigned ip changes or due to the fact that those people were using unsecured wireless.

    However, damage was done. Those people were shown in media, local papers as being child pornographers. Even if that hadnt happen, their neighbors, their workmates have heard as such. Despite they have all been acquitted, their reputation is nonetheless stained.

    How come security and well being of a child is more important than any individual ? Does an adult suffer less when being raped or sexually abused ? Kidnapped, killed, slaughtered, tortured ?

    Or is it that because a kid is someone's child, the love parents have for their child justifies seeing their child as more important than any other human being ?

    It is wrong. Either all convicts and criminals need to be listed, because regardless of their age, each individual have the right to protect themselves from aggression, or child abusers dont get listed.

    Equality is either there, or isnt. There is no middle way.

    Additionally the more you fuel these kind of extreme leanings the faster you'll create a modern day witch hunt concept, which will be definitely used to ulterior motives. 'will be' has been rather irrelevant there, it is already being used as such.

    One cant even pat someone else's child on the head nowadays, from fear of being suspected as a child abuser.

    I am pretty sure the above was meant to be a joke.

    If I am afraid of being robbed, raped and killed, then I need to know all of those who done the above living around me.

    Peace,

    I agree. I think it has become a modern witch hunt. I've read tons of horror stories. Someone ends up on a wrong site and turns out there's some pics of young girls in the temp files and the person his charged. I understand protecting kids, but it's starting to go too far. Unity is right. Pretty soon if you even look at a kid you'll become a suspect.

    Then you have law enforcement all over the web in chat rooms and such baiting people into traps. I've heard stories where they baited guys were even told by the fake girls that she was 18 or over. The law has such a miserable failure in the war on drugs and crime, so they sit at computers baiting people and blowing child abuse so out of proportion that the stats make it look like every man in the world is a career child abuser.

    Moreover, the governments and old media are using this as an excuse to scuttle internet freedom and free speech. After all, its for the children right ? Modern times' unobjectionable cause. 500 years ago it was religion. 100 years ago it was the nation, today 'children'.

    How ironic that, people are happily forfeiting their children's future over scarecrow of an excuse, for their 'well being'.

    I would not go so far as to call it a witch hunt, but it sounds like megans law, which has been shown to have many issues and not very effective. This is one of those "feel good" laws that everyone will quickly sign and let run through to get passed without even considering the consequences.

    And if you think signing this will keep your kids safe, you don't need children.

    If you are worried about your children being molested, look no further than your family members and close friends... I believe it was 80 to 90% that if a kid is touched it is a family member... father, uncle, brother, friend, etc.

    I did sign the petition, but what law is currently implemented or is there any other law which is against it under petition too.

    Peace,
    I'm afraid I agree with this. Though I feel pedofillia is horrible it should be a law to give away all criminal's information or no criminals. Surely old women should be given information on sex offenders who like old women, and middle age men should be given information on people who enjoy beating up middle age men.

    Heck, I cycle, so give me information on people in my local area who steal bikes, so I can give them a visit for the money they owe me for stealing my old bike. But we don't get this information. All or none.

    Also, if you knew someone in the road 2 away was a pedofile, what could you do? Move?

    unity100, RESPECT! And you are damn right saying the which-hunt times are ALREADY here. After all isn't it sick to ask a girl to show her id defore doing business? ) Suppose soon we'll see white-hooded crouds burning the crosses in front of houses of accused in visiting prnsites. As I heard in England they already kicked off a minister or something from his job for doing that (NOT "C.P." as far as i know!). And btw why it's always men who are horrible dirty monsters? Who ever heard a story of a lovin mom touching her boy in bath? I think a hell big part in this dirty game is played by crazy man-hating feminists. Fuugh.. disgusting!

    You don't read the news... read anything about oprah's school lately? How about the lady and the child that went to mexico? All of this news in the last week, on a national level. Go deeper into the local levels and I'm sure you would find stories...

    This stuff is all around us... it goes both ways.... in the local paper they list stuff like this all the time... Although, I guess "guys" are more than likely to be offenders... from what I understand anyway.

    Plus, we have this thing were if a 28 year old man has sex with a 15 year old girl, it is different than if a 28 year old woman has sex with a 15 year old boy. Not only are our thoughts different, but the legal system time and time again has different results (leaning toward less punishment for the ladies).
