    make no mistake that A LOT of people in the US would love to have this sort of law here to protect the children from predators. Sex offender registries are the start to all this nonsense.

    Not many people realize that it is not illegal to be a pedophile, just to act on those impulses. There are more pedophiles then homosexuals.

    Being sexually attracted to a 15 year old girl (or boy) technically makes you a pedophile. With the highly sexuallized teens parading around now-a-days many men find them attractive. With only 2-3% of the popluation that are homosexual, it's not a stretch to say that > 2-3% of the population find teens sexy.

    EXACTLY! That's why the hysteria over pedophiles is so overblown. To admit to being a pedophile is the worst possible thing you could ever admit to being. You would be stigmatized less for being a murderer or drug dealer. It is not uncommon for juvenile males to be prosecuted for statatory rape for having consensual sex.

    In the UK a persons criminal back ground is not a matter of public record like it is here.The dont have a public list of sex offenders like we do here.The only employers who can check a persons criminal back are government run bodies.Guvernment run schools can but private owned schools and organizations cannot.So this is possibility a good thing.

    As Glyn said. here in the states, workers in Day Care Centers, teachers, etc already fall under requirement for a background check. And for all of you that mentioned 15 yr old girls, got a news flash for you. Age of consent in THIS state IS fifteen. And this is not the only state like that.

    Actually, no. the definition of a pedophile is an adult sexually attracted to a child.
