Ministers lose sex offender power

Ministers lose sex offender power:
Ministers are to lose the power to decide if sex offenders can work in schools, the BBC learns.

The sad thing about this is that the reason they are losing this power is because they have made some outstandingly bad decisions. Those bad decisions are easy to spot, too. They simply involve the minister saying "yes"... The other sad thing is that we have the same types of problems here.

Of course, none of this would be a problem if we would leave these sick, sick people where they belong, which is behind bars. There is no good or compelling reason that anyone can come up with that an adult so sexually assaults a child should ever be let out of prison. Period.

I pray that they find the Lord and find forgiveness for their sins. I pray that for all criminals. However, that does not mean that they should escape fair and just punishment. Just as one of the criminals crucified with Christ received divine forgiveness, he still had to face his fair and just punishment. The only fair and just punishment I can think of (that is not banned by the 8th amendment) is to live the rest of their lives behind bars.
