The Child Was 10 -----

[Busman747]

The adult was 23---------

The child was 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

For 4 months at every opportunity, the adult climbed into the 10 year olds bed and sexually molested the minor.

Finally caught, the adult was given-------a three year rehabilitation order and placed on the sex offenders list for just 5 years!

The BOY is terrified that SHE will come back, yes, SHE!

His parents want to know why she was not imprisoned "If she was a man, it would have been totally different!"

Should there be a difference between a male and female paedophile? Should they be treated differently? Does a lad of 10 have to take it "like a man" but girls of the same age suffer more?

So glad you brought this subject up. 4 month ago my children were playing with some friends on the next back alley from our house. They came home and scared to death and told me that they had been locking a rabbit cage door in their friends garden when, THIS POLICE LADY came up to them and shouted at them for messing with the cage. This didn't bother me as kids should not be messing in other peoples gardens. What did bother me was the kids went on to tel me that, she made them all stand in a line and took a picture of them with her camera phone. After asking the kids what this lady looked like, i was under the impression that this was no police lady, but may have been a SPECIAL WARDEN.

Anyway I was still annoyed that anyone would be taking pictures of my children, and decided to ring the police station. My hubby got straight on the phone to the police and after talking to a officer about it and not getting anywhere, the police officer put my hubby through to the HEAD MAN!!!!!!!!! wfhaaaaaaaaa..............

After telling the officer what had happened and making him aware that we were quite frightened and so was the children, he said he would ring the WARDENS and ask if they were aware of this, and if it could have been one them.
he rang us back half an hour later and said he had spoken to the warden team and that it wasn't any of them. when my husband asked what was going to be done about someone taking pictures of children, the Officer said " we are not going to go any further with this enquiry, as it was a woman that had taken the pictures. If it was a man then they would have taken it further". My husband asked the officer " do you think only males are capable of sexually assaulting children"?? The officer then went on with his smart attitude " In all my working life in the police force which is 20 years, I have never dealt with a case of a woman abusing a child sexually".

My hubby then said " well I can see I'm not getting anywhere fast with the likes of you, I'm wasting my breath".
10 minutes later a officer called and asked if he could come to take a statement.
When he arrived he took a statement from the children, then went to the house that the lady had come from. I t turned out that she worked in a shop and had a uniform on that looked similar to a police officers uniform. She had done this to try to scare the children, from going in the garden again.
The officer could not apologise more for the way we had been dealt with. And so they should apologise. That was handled very badly, and deters people from reporting things.

So yes I do believe that woman can do things like this, but maybe it is SNUBBED off by the police because "WOMAN ARE NOT CAPABLE OF THINGS LIKE THIS"!!!!!!!!!!!!! (as stated by the police themselves).

I don't think anyone would differentiate .............. sex abuse is sex abuse, regardless of what gender perpetrate the crime, the only fact is that more men than women do abuse children and the day we know the answers why, is the day we can save many children growing up with the torment of their lost childhood at the hands of these depraved people!

Your right Busman, maybe I should have added no-one would differentiate on this forum



It is also a fact in our judicial system that women are treat more leniently than men (and even more so when they have a pretty face) obviously the judge and jury were dillusional that a woman could commit such a crime (he must have been to blame). Luckily crimes against children were women are the perpetrators are far and few between ............ or just not reported to the police, thats the worrying thing

[cashman]

simple answer- throw the bloody key away on ANY of these perverts-not place them on the offenders list WOW some detterant

he is currently in accrington


link dosnt work so heres the story

A 20-YEAR-OLD child advice worker indecently assaulted a 13-year-old girl after "grooming" her for months after she called a Lancashire County Council children's help-line.

Martin Steve Tibbet, who was employed by the authority at an advice centre for children and young people, arranged to meet the child after she called youth and community service project The Line to speak to someone while her mother was in hospital.

Blackburn magistrates heard the girl was anxious and vulnerable and became a victim after Tibbett arranged to meet her on a number of occasions, where he subsequently committed three indecent assaults.

Today leader of Lancashire County Council Hazel Harding made a personal pledged the authority would conduct an immediate and full inquiry into the case. She said: "Obviously the County Council would not have this happen to any young person -- especially when they have put their trust in a Council run service.

"We carry out extensive checks on people who have contact with young people in an attempt to ensure that this kind of thing does not happen.

"While we can check on people's history that doesn't always show up people who may offend," she added.

Tibbett, 20, of Dove Lane, Darwen, pleaded guilty to three offences of indecent assault committed prior to February 19.

The magistrates ruled that their powers of punishment, up to 12 months in prison, where insufficient and Tibbett was committed on bail to Preston Crown Court for sentence.

Eddie Harrison, prosecuting, said the victim was a 13-year-old schoolgirl and Tibbett had been in a position of considerable trust at the time of the offences.

"A part of his job was to man a telephone help-line project called The Line," said Mr Harrison.

"This was designed to cover a whole spectrum of issues involving young people."

The Line is part of the County Council's Youth and Community Service What Now? internet info-zone, which provides information for young people on a wide range of subjects.

Mr Harrison said Tibbett worked on the project from 2002 and during that time the girl made contact, anxious to speak to someone.

"She was a vulnerable individual because her mother was in hospital," said Mr Harrison.

"Over a period of time Tibbett groomed her and he went on to indecently assault her on a number of occasions when they met up."

Richard Prew, defending, said it was accepted that the case would have to go to Crown Court for sentencing.

"To his credit, my client has fully accepted the acts of indecency and did so right from the outset," said Mr Prew.

A Lancashire County Council spokesman said: "We can confirm that Martin Tibbett was employed by Lancashire County Council, but he was dismissed on February 20 of this year.

"We are unable to comment further until the full legal process has been completed.

"However, we are treating the charges against the former employee very seriously.

"All young people who come into contact with any public authority deserve the best possible protection and respect."

Sadly the law and society does view the gender of the abuser differently.

For the crimes Myra Hindley committed, a man would have been released after serving approximatly ten years.

I'm not saying she should have been released, just stating a fact that we as a society, find female abuse more abhorent than when it is committed by a male.

Sadly this is more prevelant than first thought, there was a case in the paper today of a female teacher seducing a fourteen year old male pupil, and then terminating a pregnancy because she didn't know who the father was.

All abuse of mimors is wrong, regardless of gender, and should receive equally severe punishment.

I agree.......sexual abuse is abhorrent and the paedophiles, whatever their gender should be treated in the same way.

Maybe the judges see women as nurturers, but not all females have motherly instincts.

I find this story truly disturbing.

[janet]

I agree with everyone, sexual abuse whether it be by a man or woman should carry the same penalty.

[lettie]

A truly horrific situation. Female abusers should get the same treatment as male abusers. In the case of sexual abuse neither male nor female abusers get adequate sentences in my view. Unfortunately this is not the first female abuser that I have come across. I have dealt with a few in the course of my work...

oh dont get me going....................biteing my tongue

[shiny gem]

i still dont understand is how someone can look at a child and get turned on!!! its just wierd!!! i struggle with my conscience if i find an 18 year old attractive, and im only 5 years older than them!! i think its the teen bit that puts me off...in my mind they are still kids!!
they should chop off whichever bit of these sickoes touches the child...that way they cant do it again!!!

[Debbie J]

I think it is totally disgusting that anyone be it male or female should get such a short sentence. Lock em all up permanently to ensure they don't have the opportunity to become a repeat offender
