List of Sex offenders in Australia
Yet 17 pages and AC has failed to include this in his list of spammy butthurt....
and what are your suggestions to ending it?
Ending child molestation in Australia? While that is a very noble wish how do you intend to go about it without violating the rights of law abiding citizens who are not pederasts or have any inclination towards or endorsement of such disgusting behavior...
Legislating all the laws you can think of WILL NOT mean CRIMINALS will follow them...
how would you go about implementing those procedures and enforcing the new laws?
I feel the laws in our current system are adequate barring the re-introduction of capital punishment. This while, I may advocate for, is not the majority will of the people here. [Capital punishment/death penalty] The other consideration when pondering mandatory death penalties for the offending party is will it incline future offenders to take the life of their victims knowing, if caught, the state will take their lives... Would that increase the incidences of child homicide?

how would you give the children the ability to voice themselves?
Awareness and education... The stranger danger campaigns have been effective but in a large majority of these kinds of cases the offender is someone the victim trusts. One of the best places for children to voice any type of abuse/neglect issues is in school. Teachers receive training to recognise the warning signs and most schools now have a counsellor available for students, which are accessible without restriction. We are looking to reinforce and build on the training educators receive in regards to identifying neglect and abuse. The following paper outlines the best way to go about that.
Locating child protection in preservice teacher education

We also have free services available to children like kids help Line to be able to talk about anything bothering them, anonymously, while also encouraging them to come forward to teacher/social worker or call the police...
what are you going to do about it in YOUR country?
Apart from ensuring it doesnt happen to anyone i know and reading up on the warning signs im not about to go out and go all vigilante on anyone suspected of such a heinous act, reporting any verifiable concerns, especially from a child to police would be the most prudent cause of action because i am neither trained nor equipped to deal with something that is a matter for police, the courts and the resources they can bring to bear which also includes the relevant counselling for victims as they will be forever scarred by something I cannot imagine...
and there they go again trying to bend away. ROLL THOSE CONVOS BOYS
Asking you to PROPERLY define your position through qualification and correlation is not derailment.
or would you guys like to fight over whos fucking more children without actually doing something about it?
You shouldnt throw stones when you live in a glass house... can you show me one post where AC* has attempted to clarify his position and propose ways to combat the problem of sex abuse? Or has all the articles and blogs misdirected you?
