What Could Go Wrong? Gov’t to House Sex Offenders in Fenceless Building Next to Children’s School

 Outrage is erupting among government officials and parents as a  decision has been announced to house sex offenders in an ‘open prison,’  with no fence, right by a children’s school. Even the police chief is  speaking out about the decision, noting that it is a “serious concern.” 

Students at Appleton Thorn Primary School in Cheshire, UK will soon  start seeing an influx of child molesters and rapists moving in next  door as the Ministry of Justice begins relocating sex offenders as part  of a new program. The announcement was received with outrage by Cheshire Police and  Crime Commissioner David Keane who called an urgent meeting to address  this incredibly poor decision. Last week, Keane released the following statement in regard to the move. 

“I was made aware of the government’s decision to  authorise HMP Thorn Cross to accept category D men convicted of sexual  offences by the end of the year yesterday afternoon via a verbal update  from the prison. I subsequently received a letter from Her Majesty’s  Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) to inform me of this change. “I haven’t been consulted regarding this decision; a decision which  will have obvious implications for the local community. I have written  to the government requesting an urgent meeting to discuss why this  prison has been chosen, especially considering its proximity to local  housing and with it being situated directly opposite a primary school. “As the elected representative for the people of Cheshire for  criminal justice, this decision causes me serious concern, and I have  requested that the Minister responsible comes to Warrington to address  local residents and community representatives directly, prior to any  further implementation of this decision.”

On top of the fact that the prison full of sex offenders will be  located only a few hundred feet from the school, it is also in the  middle of a neighborhood. As ITV reports,  the Ministry of Justice explained the move was a result of more  convicted sex offenders going to prison under the present government. 

A spokesperson from UK’s Prison Service explained in a statement that  because there are more sex offenders, they need more room to house  them. She then assured the public they had nothing to worry about  because the rapists and child molesters will be screened before being  relocated next to a school full of vulnerable children. “Under this Government more sex offenders are being convicted and  going to prison, and spending longer there,” the statement read. The spokesperson said that the Prison Service needs to “test” these  men in an open setting and apparently, an elementary school is the  proving ground for these tests. “The ability to test men in open conditions as they approach the end of their sentence is a critical step in this.” 

“Anyone who is transferred to open conditions must pass a strict  risk-assessment and can be recalled to tougher closed conditions at the  first sign of any concern.” As to what happens if these men fail this test, the ministry is remaining silent. 

As the Free Thought Project reported earlier this year,  a jaw-dropping independent investigation has revealed that hundreds of  children, some as young as 11-years-old, are estimated to have been  drugged, beaten, and raped over the last several decades in a single  town. According to the investigation, the abuse was allowed and is  continued to be allowed because authorities look the other way. 

For decades police have not only looked the other way as a massive  child sex trafficking ring grew in their backyard but they also  attempted to claim that “in most cases the sex is consensual.” 

Countless victims and former victims have come forward detailing  their abuse and the current abuse taking place in the British town of  Telford. Despite hundreds of testimonies and graphic details, police  have failed to act as they hide behind the idea that a child can somehow  consent to sex with an adult. Hopefully, the children in this school don’t find themselves in a similar situation to those in Telford.
