There is very little one can do with this paedophile menace as the government tinkers around at the edges.
Either there is an epidemic of paedophilia, fed by Facebook and the Internet, or sadism and exploiting the helpless and vulnerable has always been the bloodsport of the secretly depraved.
They do not exploit and abuse other adults because adults have the capacity for protest.
The thrill, as far as I can analyse the motivations of those who wish to commit such crimes, is to impose their will on another human being.
No doubt if they could they would kill and eat babies, but that would leave them vulnerable to discovery. Therefore sexual abuse is a sensible half-way house of abuse. It is not easily discoverable, especially by those who lack the capacity for speech and it leaves no visible marks on the victim.
With this intractable problem of human depravity, what is to be done?
Instead of passing ever more oppressive and draconian laws (such as banning mobile phones with cameras in creches and assuming every woman who works with children is bent on filming the abuse of children in her care) , I would instead suggest this:
1. Let more mothers have the option of staying home to look after their children.
2. Tax their husbands less so that they can more easily earn enough not to have to compel their wives to go out to work.
3. If child sexual abuse continues apace - 60% of child sexual abuse takes place within their own home apparently - then it will be less distressing for others. Paedophiles will at least be abusing their own children, not other people's.
This would at least stop the international community from getting the impression that Britain is an island of perverts and paedophiles, even if we really are.
