Should we be protecting paedophiles?

Yesterday I watched an episode of "Sunday Night" on line that was a few weeks old.
(http://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/features/article/-/18781847/predators-under-protection/ )
It had Derryn Hinch discussing the topic of paedophiles. In the USA they are allowed to name convicted paedophiles whilst here in Australia we protect their anonymity.
There is a petition on Derryn Hinch's website to call for a sex offenders public register.  If you are interested in signing it check out the link below. You will find the petition on this page.

Obviously this is a heavy topic and people are afraid of vigilantes but apparently they do not have that problem in USA.

On a personal note I think it is a great idea as I think the innocent should be protected not the sex offender. I am not saying that the sex offenders should be witch hunted but that we should be aware of who they are so we can keep our children away from them.

Strength on your journey,
Margie
