And I bet if you'd filmed it and given the evidence to the police they'd have sent you back inside for filming a child.
Such is the madness of modern society. |

Yes. Both police and politicians keep telling us that there are "possibly" hundreds of thousands of child abusers who have not yet been detected. I'm not sure what they base that on, or how introducing CRB checks is going to help protect anyone against them. It's all nonsense. |

I think I've told the story before of how, just after my release, I and several other shoppers in Harrods watched a large man beat the shit out of his (10? year old) daughter and did nothing - and was praised by Probation for it ("if you'd interfered you'd have been sent back inside"). |

It is insane and I am neither a politically correct person, nor a respector of stupid laws. When I went out to buy a paper on Boxing Day, an elderly man walking in front of me slipped on the ice and fell on his back. Ignoring the stupid law that says that I can't help a vunerable person unless I waited donkey's years to be cleared by the CRB, I went to him to give immediate assistance and stayed with him until others came to help.
I think no one should apply for one of these checks and should just ignore them. Eventually, the whole idea will be dropped. I agree that the checks are not about making children safe, but in my opinion are about government control of the population. Besides, if I, for instance, had a CRB check and it came back that I had a completely clean sheet, it would only prove that if I ever had done anything wrong, that I hadn't been caught. |

The truth is that people have always (or at least for a long time before New Labour)needed a criminal background check before they could work full time with children. In 1990 it took my brother a few days to be approved, merely as a matter of routine. Now, with advanced computer technology, things are supposed to be quicker. There is zero excuse for these delays. I have to agree with BR that this is not about protecting children. There is something else going on here. |
