well as someone who was threatend with the police for child abuse (not sexual) by a social worker i'm very glad my name and details were not published because of the hysterical response from some people on here today over this case of course our lawyers quickly made the problem go away but the accusation was made, now does that mean i've ever had anything to o with harming a child? absolutely not, but if i hadnt been in a position to get a solicitor involved at the very beginning i could have found myself under arrest (although i do trust the justice system enough to believe i would not have been charged).
my "crime"? i allowed our boys to climb trees and one fell out during a water fight and was fairly badly injured (broke 2 arms and a leg), they still climb trees, its called being children.
did you know by the way that you can end up on the sex offenders register for getting caught urinating in a public place? i'm pretty sure that it wasnt what it was designed for but is yet another reason for not allowing general access to the register.
I understand about the suspicion thing we had some very odd questions asked when our eldest broke his arm at 18 months old climbing from his cot into his brother's...he fell down the gap between the cots...but both children had to be examined in the hospital.
I didn't know the register included that type of thing...I thought it was only more serious crimes.
