I heard this being discussed on R4 this morning
And I was glad that they clarified that it wouldn't go as far as checking parents who were going to take their friends' kids somewhere. Nevertheless, it still strikes me as incredibly paranoid, and still smacks of presuming everyone guilty until they can prove otherwise.

If nothing else, surely parents, i.e., people with children of their own, are less likely to abduct someone else's kids? If you had to put up with your own brats whining in the back of the car, why would you want to steal more to add to your collection? You'd end up wanting to beat the little fuckers savagely to death and rape their lukewarm corpses before dumping the bodies in a ditch behind the paddocks just off the edge of the village and...erm, actually ignore that last bit.

But
if they were taking two or three kids to away sports matches more than once a month, they could technically fall foul of this law.

Let me put it this way
I'd quite like to have kids at some later stage in life, as long as they're nothing like other people's revolting kids.

I heard the 8:10 interview.
I thought Humphreys did a pretty good job of skewering the scheme...

Yeah, I was pleased about that
because the minister, whoever she was, was being a slippery shit.

I also heard the interview
I'm really hoping that the final version is watered down, something like this would put me off volunteering- partially the money, partially the whole bother of it all.
They've gone and made it all pinickity over 'frequent' and 'intense' contact with kids too which has caused further confusion.

I really didn't see the need for the Children's minister to be all slippery, what is needed in a situation like this is clarification.
I think a nice Venn diagram would work to illustrate to everyone just exactly who would need to register and who wouldn't, with another to illustrate who would have to pay.

*pesudo quote from someone who I can't remember*
Why would you beat your own wife? You wouldn't key your own car.

wife - child.
