we have a situation here in Cardiff at the moment where a paedophile who was living in a bail hostel abducted a three year old girl, drove away with her, sexually abused her, drove further away, abused her again and was only caught when he crashed the car. He was jailed for a ridiculously short amount of time and now is asking to be castrated!!! If only! I would very much like to carry out that operation myself but feel I would be at the end of a very long queue.

you must be very careful not to catch your finger between the bricks when you clap them together though - always remember that CMD!!!!!!!

It was rather weird how they were not reunited when Shannon was found, it looks like the Police had been suspicious with just reason as it now appears. I don't think we know the half of it yet. Poor child.

Earlier today I had a conversation with a few parents from school regarding this latest twist regarding the "Step Father". Some where of the opinion that he was classed as a paedo, others thought that he was classed as a sex offender but not a paedo as he hasn't (as far as we know) actually done anything physical. It seems to be a bit of a grey area - what would you "class" someone charged with this sort of thing? Paedo or Sex Offender?

a paedophile - sexual desire towards children is the definition

That is my definition too!

Is that your opinion or have you quoted it from somewhere?

Thouht from the start that it didn't look right with him being called stepfather and her that much older, and with so many children already. I didn't realise until yesterday that they had a child together, aged 2 I think.
I said on another thread, it looks more obvious now why Shannon wasn't happy and didn't want to go home.
From when she was first found at the uncle's house, it was said she didn't appear to have been harmed or interfered with in any way, and didn't seem to be aware she had been abducted.
The abductor doesn't go to court till November, they must have a lot of evidence to sort through for it to take so long.
