How do we know what we know? - asks Hungarian-born media scholar George Gerbner. The answer is, of course, mostly from the media. This is also why the media has a great responsibility, especially in matters where certain sensitive things, such as relativizing the crime of pedophilia, pose incredible dangers to our children.
The left-liberal newspaper 444.hu does just that:
article on the subject , one of which is a published last year , which suggests that the list facilitates the commission of crimes:
"There is no question that registries can prevent attacks on children. But they can also help such people."
We're used to it
far-leftists always prioritize the rights of criminals, even at the cost of reducing the rights of victims and vulnerable people. Of course, legal practice cannot be left behind either. "One of the problems is that such a list only makes sense if it includes previously convicted persons. However, with this, they are subject to an adverse legal consequence that they could not have known about at the time of the commission, which thus becomes retroactive legislation. The bill lists a series of related facts, based on which you can be listed, regardless of when the act was committed."
According to 444, the list is not correct because pedophile criminals can also be put on the list for their previously committed actions - which is quite obvious, since the aim is not to identify predators who sexually abuse children from here on, but anyone who previously or has committed or will commit such a crime in the future. However, the left-liberal paper is of the opinion that at the time of the crime they did not know that there would be a similar list in the future, and therefore the procedure is unfair to pedophiles.
When will we get to the point where the left-liberals finally put the interests of the victims before the interests of the criminals?
Of course, the culture warrior's rant couldn't be left out at the end of the article either. The authors complain that the government wants to amend the Family Protection Act as part of the anti-pedophile law package. Similar to this basic law, it would be included that "the mother is a woman, the father is a man". According to 444, this is a great example of the government parties "politicizing" the proposal.
