I bet Oscar was wild though.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

yeah, I usually leave kids out of my 'hobbies and interests' section as it creates a bit of a stigma.

It could have been worse, could have been puppies involved.

If you were on the sex offenders register and a paedophile, would you be banned from going to football or other sport with spectators that you might sit next to, toilets that children use etc? How would the club or venue know? And do they have parole officers for a long period of time checking their movements?

I know an ex plod who said he had to take their weekly, or however frequently signatures needed to be signed at the station. Made him ill. Some were obviously very successful in business and life which he wasn't expecting. Quite a cross section of people.

You're asking me what it's all about, and I can't tell you because I don't know what's going on myself.

Some very interesting comments!

Well.... The nonse in question has left the company, due to 'personal reasons' is all we're being told.

However numerous articles regarding his seedy past are circulating like wild fire.

Surely you must inform an employer if you are convicted of any such crime and put on a register for it?
So if he never told them, is that a further offence?
Or
If he did.... Is it down to the employee to decide wether or not to inform there staff of the possible dangers.

He spent a few years here, in which time made every effort to build good relationships with numerous people who had young children. Even to the point where they would meet outside of work, children included. These people were very unfortunately un aware of his past.

My point/question is.... Should they have been?
Is there not a system in place to prevent this sort of occurrence?
Who... If anyone is at fault?
Him... For hiding the information?
Or the employer... For how they have handled the situation?
Or 'the system' for not guarding against this sort of thing? Should someone have been checking where he worked, what he was doing, were they aware made aware of his history, etc??
