On Sunday night I watched the 60 Minutes interview with pedophile David Farnell, father of baby Gammy, who was convicted on 22 charges of child sex abuse against little girls as young as four years old. He now has a baby girl of his own in his care. It was disturbing.
On Monday, I watched 4Corners where more pedophiles were exposed. Priests this time, who systematically abused children for decades, ably assisted by the Catholic church who systematically covered up their crimes. It was devastatating to see the utter destruction of victims’ lives.
On Tuesday, I watched a documentary on ABCTV called Code of Silence about child sexual abuse in Melbourne’s Orthodox Jewish community that was also deliberately covered up for years.

I really, really like this article and I think it's on point. I had a little girl just over three months ago and ever since I've been hearing on the news about pedophiles almost on a daily basis. It scares the living daylights out of me and I think all parents should be wary because once the damage is done, it will affect the child for a lifetime.
I've told my partner numerous times to always be careful and never leave our daughter alone with any male (even a family member) unless there is someone else present.
It really is our job to be that careful - better safe than sorry.
I want you to read this article Mia. Understand that articles like yours fuel these social issue too. http://www.news.com.au/life...
