The president of the Police Superintendents’ Association of England and Wales suggests that peadophiles guilty of lower level offenses should be diverted to mental health treatment programs instead of prisons.
Citing the rapidly growing sex offenders’ register, Chief Superintendent Gavin Thomas warned that the police do not have the resources to properly monitor all of those on the list and calls for a different approach to rehabilitate child sex offenders.

Thomas said a rethink was needed about those who downloaded abuse images but did not commit contact offences.
RT reports:
“One of the major concerns from our members is managing the register already, and it’s growing. For offenders at the highest level there are visits to be made [and] monitoring access to the internet,” he told the Times.
“Should we be going down the criminal justice route or, based on a proper assessment, should we be going down the health route? At the moment I am not seeing alternative thinking on how we deal with this issue as it grows and grows and grows,” he said.
There are nearly 45,000 offenders on the register today, up from 32,000 a decade ago.
Child sex allegations have risen by 80 percent in the three years to 2015 according to Simon Bailey, the national police lead for child protection and abuse.
Bailey revealed in March that the cost of investigating child sex abuse hit £1 billion (US$1.3 billion) last year, with the average cost of an investigation priced at £19,000. Bailey expects investigations to hit £3 billion by 2020.

Talk to President Putin, he has the perfect solution. Don’t forget the nazi (queen)!!!
When these sick bastards are caught and convicted of diddling with children they should automatically be castrated.
I would think at that point, prison and rehab would not be necessary.
Lot’s of money would be saved, and no need to worry about them re-offending.
you would think this would work but no…they just use other things to rape with…bottles, sex toys, steel rods…anything that will cause pain. thats why I say just shoot them like the rabid dogs they are
no just shoot them all…problem solved
