My neighbour's small blue car that hasn't moved an inch in 7 years. (He washes it once a month).

He must be proud of it though - I expect it costs him insurance and taxes... 🙂

By ‘in the shadow’ I mean those who are also under suspicion as being potential paedophiles simply because they like working with children. This includes male football instructors, male primary school teachers, or anyone who has access to young children and of course females are now no longer exempt. As for the grief of families and friends, that is a separate issue.

You have made it sound as if I primarily feel that people who rape then murder children should be released back into society? That is not what I said. What I argued was that if the parole board made this decision I would trust their judgement in the expectation that they would be making that decision based on their own expertise. Had I been appointed to sit on the particular parole board that you mention above I do not know what I would decide when I had all of the facts in front of me. The case in question was in fact challenged and the perpetrator remained in prison I believe, which in fact was part of the parole process?

On a personal level I could have the potential to seriously injure a person who was responsible for the rape and murder of my child were he released into the community.

I'm not so sure. As he never drives it I doubt it is taxed or insured. It just sits there on his drive, spoiling my view of the cherry blossom.

I feel as you do, Drew. If you imagine such a thing happening to a child you know it becomes even unbearable. We still have two young ones in the family - 11 and 5 years old - and we tend to be overprotective. Thanks to the cellphones, I can keep in touch with my grandson when he is travelling by bus and tram through the city to my home.

Could there ever be mitigating circumstances for such crimes, you think?

Well I see broken tree branches everywhere.
Trash and trash cans everywhere.
Huge windstorm last night.

Funny stuff after 7 years I am assuming it can't be moved!!!!

For a small fee and an address I can have it removed for you! 😉

🙂 One might wonder why he keeps it...?
