Not me personally but I think parents feel they need the offender put of the area . I think they feel that because they have veiwed images online that's the starting of somones behaviour to steal a child . Kidnap ect or they just feel that the person is looking at there child in a strange way . When I first moved in my house I was warned about next door being a" creep " he had been stalking a girl or somthing and was in the paper. I have never seen him or spoke to him and I would never say anything rude but I was abit warey if my daughter was in the garden in the pool ect I always made sure she was covered .



Not sure if this answers your question but I think all the film's and books ect people including myself have some thought in the back off there head that if we arnt looking then our children might be gone .



I have never understood anything like this before and if I wasn't in this situation I wouldnt understand I would be shocked to hear soone in the area was arested for iioc

I think it's natural to that anyone would be cautious unless they invested a lot of time in understanding these crimes. What I don't understand is why people attack or abuse people - Perhaps I just don't have that much anger or hate in me.

I guess if I think about my neices and nephews and that if I found out my neighbour was convicted of one of these crimes, I feel I'd want to be cautious and protect them when they came to visit, but I guess the angry feeling might come from feeling that at I'm having to do that in my home, my peace and tranquility that I've worked hard for has been disturbed through not fault of my own. Perhaps if I knew the person better I'd be less afraid or concerned because I'd have some context to the situation, just as I do with my person, so I'd have more information to assess the risk and therefore how much my peace and tranquility was really being disturbed.

I guess it's similar to if someone had stolen previously you'd perhaps be more cautious, or even of you lent something to someone and they broke it, you'd be more cautious lending them something again. For these 2 examples though, we are in relative control, but it is not easy or cheap to just move house to be away from what is concerning you and feelings of anger might be evoked from - Why should I have to move?

What I really don't understand though is the kind do abuse and threats you have received.

Yea I wouldn't leave my kids in the garden alone or anything . But I think it's just like alerting the fear . Like if you know somones house has been broken in to ect down the road it puts you on edge makes you worry were as you might not have worries before.

It's all lack of knowledge mainly . And I have never read a story in the media like we explain on here . So I have never read a story like man ended up in court threw porn addiction which lead to iioc .

It would be like pedofile finally caught after months of hiding iioc .

I honestly don't understand people I have just done the school run and there's parents that don't like me already and I've never stepped a toe out of line .
