Sex offenders' name changes.

To protect the family they came from??

If the mental health services were adequate, then sexual deviants of all persuasions could get therapy to reduce the risk of offending.

And parents would receive adequate supervision to reduce the chance of them creating paedophiles in the first place.

Well In Germany they have trailed a few medically driven approaches, and from one article I read, many of the people coming forward were by definition pedophiles who hadn't acted on their urges

But they have to come forward themselves was my point. There is no all men have to have regular check ups.

Parents breed paedophiles! I've finally heard everything. As a result, get all names help here mandatory health checks for children are now required. What signs should parents be on the lookout for in a child are these? You also overlooked the possibility that a paedophile may seek assistance before hurting people.

Their lives are endangered because they are filthy paedo scum not because they changed their name.

Way it should be.

There are already well-child health checks for a number of conditions- which could be expanded to include psychosexual health.

If society really cared about children, of course they would be compulsory.

I really have no idea where most of you think people who are sexually attracted to children come from - perhaps you think the stork drops them off, fully grown.

Of course this is well off topic for whether people who have been convictied for sexual offenses involving children should be allowed to change their name.

I'd broaden the question to whether people with any convictions should be allowed to change their name.
