As a society we are increasingly seeing child killers not only being given appauling sentences, but being given new identites and a new home in another country upon their release, all at the taxpayers expense. As good british citizens, we (the public) want to see these rights for child killers abolished.
While I can understand where you’re coming from with this, the British public have proven in the past that they cannot be trusted with the knowledge that a known child killer has been released from Prison. The British tabloids have a wonderful habit of putting inflammatory stories in their pages, in many cases seeming to promote Vigilantism. The “Named and Shamed” articles that the News of the World put in its paper a few years ago are evidence enough of that – they listed the names and locations of convicted child sex offenders, and people went and threw bricks threw the doors of the people listed.
While intentionally killing a child is an unforgivable act, if the criminal has served their time they deserve to live their lives in peace and not be further persecuted.
