This is just the gem they (police) need to boost their overtime and off-set those planned cuts !

Absolute madness. How many times will this 'panic button' be misused and abused ? Possibly leading to someone being wrongfully targeted as a possible sex offender.

Thanks BR,
Here is my comment on your second linked article:
Warning: Spoiler!
1. Assume that children should be kept apart from likely abusers.
2. "Children are more likely to be abused by someone they know and trust than by a stranger" ( raisingchildren.net.au/articles/protect_...edophiles_-_cyh.html )
3. Someone the child knows and trusts is a likely abuser.
4. Children should be kept apart from anyone they know and trust.
Is the conclusion (4) correct, and if not, where does the flaw lie in the argument?
Still puzzled as to how this is going to prevent tragedies like that 17 year old girl killed last year.
Are thousands of teenage boys going to be reported via this panic button for suspected grooming and have armed police visit their homes to check if they really are 16 and not 33?
I'm sure this is just what broken britain needs - even greater apartheid between adults and young people.
Probably what will happen is that CEOP will get overwhelmed with unwarranted panic calls. They will have to answer every one or face the media/legal consequences of not responding to the 1 in a million that might have prevented a tragedy.
