"If you've worked with sex offenders - people who have committed these offences again and again and again - you know that we do not in psychiatry and psychology have a way to change sexual orientation. People who molest kids, for example, they've done it and they've done it and they've done it and they haven't been caught for a fraction of what they've done. To turn these people back into the community knowing that we have nothing to offer that is going to ensure the safety of kids is unconscionable."(Dr Stanton E Samenow, author of Inside the Criminal Mind and Straight Talk about Criminalsquoted in Obsession by former FIB agent and profiler John Douglas and Mark Olshaker)
Statistics show that between 1 in 3 and 1 in 4 girls will be molested during childhood and between 1 in 5 and 1 in 6 boys will be molested. Often the trauma caused by childhood sexual abuse blights a person for life and can lead to suicide. The UK has the highest suicide rate in Europe with 5000 deaths a year. Suicide is the number one cause of death for boys aged 18-25.
A four-year 13 million investigation into sexual abuse at children's homes in north Wales during the 1970s reveals that up to 750 youngsters - some as young as seven - were subjected to "an obscene and random catalogue of violence and cruelty". At least 12 suicides have resulted. Child abusers work in networks and children from the homes were fed to police officers, civil servants and businessmen over a period of 20 years. Up to 150 adults were involved but only a dozen or so have been jailed.
February 2000 saw the launch of the Moira Anderson Foundation. Funded by profits from the sale of Sandra Brown's excellent book Where there is evil, the Foundation has been created in memory of an 11-year-old girl who disappeared in Coatbridge, near Glasgow, Scotland, in February 1957. Where there is evil (Macmillan, 1998) tells the inspirational story of one woman's attempts to bring the murderer to justice over 30 years later.
Research by the UK Home Office published this week (18 February 2000) suggests that the 6,000 rapes and 18,000 indecent assaults reported to the police in 1996 plus the third of sex assaults reported to the police which are not recorded by them as crimes represent probably only one tenth of the actual number of sex attacks. This suggests that the true figure for UK sex crimes is between 118,000 and 295,000 a year.

Simon Cowell - American Idol and X-Factor judge, "I totally endorse this campaign. This is something that should be made law. I back Sarah's Law 100 per cent."

Louis Walsh - X-Factor judge, "I think Sarah's Law is a brilliant idea to protect our children from predatory paedophiles and I back the News of the World's campaign and Sara Payne 100 per cent. These people are sick, they don't change, and parents should have the right to know where they are so they can protect their children.
