Paedophiles And Privacy

Monday 09 February 2009

The decision by the Stop Kindersex organisation to launch a website listing convicted paedophiles is a provocative one in a country as obsessed by privacy as the Netherlands.

With just 17 names on it, the move smacks more of an incitement to violence against a few hapless souls rather than the public service it pretends to be.

And the first legal objection is already underway. A convicted paedophile, who runs a political party which advocates sex with children, is going to court to have his name removed.

The justice ministry meanwhile is muttering that the site is ‘undesirable’ but says little can be done because it operates through the US.

In fact the justice department seems unwilling to take much of a stand at all when it comes to protecting children from sexual predators. It is reluctant to come down hard on internet providers which refuse to block child pornography websites.

Then there are the sentences meted out to convicted paedophiles which are often bizarrely low. And like all criminals in this country, paedophiles’ identities are kept secret during court cases to protect their privacy. Source HERE.

Death threats are just one of the reported consequences of the controversial step taken by a Dutch campaign group in publishing the names, addresses and - in some cases - photographs of paedophiles on the internet despite rules in the Netherlands banning such a move. The group in question, Stopkindersex (Stop Child Sex), has hosted its site in the US to get around the legal ban in the Netherlands. The site was flooded this weekend by people anxious to learn if they are living in the vicinity of a convicted paedophile.
