Paedophile living next door to schools, and creche.

LegacyUser · 25-03-2009 11:29AM #1

I have just found out that a Paedophile was living in temporary accommodation beside a school and a crèche in my area. I am dumbfounded to know who makes decisions in this country to put children at risk in such a thoughtless manner..

Is there anything I can do about this. I need to find a way to take this accommodation of whatever list and ASAP so no harm can come to any children in the future.

OK folks, just advice and relevant advice. NO names or anything that would indicate the area the OP lives in. Thank you.

Is he still living there or is he gone?

I don't agree with paedophiles living next to schools or areas where groups of children gather but I always think it's impossible to live anywhere where there are no/few children.

This bit is just going to sound odd but this guy(presuming it's a guy, normally is) would have a type in terms of age and sex. There's also the thing of say a 20 year old being with a 15 year old.

I'd hate for anything to happen but for me I'd need to know more information before I'd do anything about it.

No its not.Its called jail,where all people(and I use that term loosely in this case)guilty of sex crimes,particularly child sex crimes,should be kept for the rest of their unnatural lives.

How exactly did you find out? Was the guy actually convicted or was it just hearsay?

If it's a half-way house for the prison service there may not be a lot you can do but given the council elections are coming up soon your local councillor may be able to put pressure on whatever board governs it especially if it's a residential area.

It was all over the radio yesterday. Locals found out and got him moved. I don't know how they found out....OP Paedophiles could be living near any of us unfortunately, if they're moved from one place they're just moved to somewhere else....I don't think giving out lists of where these people are would be a good idea, it would just lead to chaos and violence most probably. I don't know what the answer is.

Op here, I should probably state that he has moved on, I need to know who would make a decision in future if another was placed in the area. There are also Heroin addicts in the same B&B so I presume its a half way house for these people.

If that is the case then you need to getin in touch with the regional health board
about the suitiblity of such accomidation.

Why are you so sure it's a "He"

I stand corrected.

Get in touch with your local council as well. Seek some advice on the matter with them.

I'm sure having them BESIDE a public school increases the chance of re offending, these people have a sickness and putting them in a situation where they are surrounded by children is like putting an alcoholic in a pub.

Good post regarding the local TDs, I think this person who owns the B&B is very closely linked to the local TD's... so I think it would have to go above them, if that's possible.

Wasn't there a case of a guy that was falsely convicted of being a pedophile recently? I believe it was in the west of Ireland and the girl in question was put up to making a false complaint, by her parents, due to an argument over land.

He served 15 years and was released.

Are you 100% certain he is a convicted pedophile or is it just heresay?

Yes - bleeding hearts are the worst type of solution for criminals.

LegacyUser · 25-03-2009 01:44PM

This happend ok, its all legit, he's gone 100% certain about that.. now how does one prevent the same thing happening again.

Prevention being better than cure.

Maybe, maybe not. It's not the immediate issue being discussed here, though.

Yes, because we shouldn't dare think about alternatives.

Yes.

Chemical castration is the only help they deserve.

How exactly do you know? If being on the radio means Joe Duffy, I'd take it with a pinch - sorry a sack - of salt.

Yes, and that is NOT paedophilia (desiring/abusing small children) - but the witch-hunt mob would no doubt consider it to be so. OP, the guy in question could have had sex with a 16-year-old (a minor) and some busybody could have taken it upon themselves to label him a paedophile and then word spread. Bear all these things in mind.

I don't understand that point. Orla said it's difficult to find an area, where there aren't children, to house paedophiles who are released from prison (not saying they should be, but they are).
I agree - there are dangers everywhere and it's up to parents to keep an eye on their kids. You know where there are quite a lot of paedophiles? In the home.

Orla K wrote: »

I think it's a sexual orientation in many cases, so I can't see how that can be changed. In other cases, it might be the result of childhood abuse - perhaps that could be corrected. I don't know...

Alessandra · 25-03-2009 01:53PM

I'd say it's pretty hard to live somewhere in Ireland where there aren't any paedophiles. It's a sad reality but once they have done the time they are free to live in peace. Where I live there are convicted child abusers in the area. You just have to get on with it. Keep an eye on your children that's all you can do because there are no doubt paedophiles in your community who are unknown to you too.

My mother has been working with them for a long time and she would tell you that it is incurable it can only be managed at best. Unfortunatly I don't think these people are born like this ,that it is a learned behaviour.
