Why Don't We Have Sex Offender Websites In India?
Should pedophiles be allowed to live in society secretly? In the US there is major uproar about this issue but here in India the matter is hardly touched upon. The abuses kids suffer here generally go unreported except a few that are so gruesome that they get to be featured in the inner pages of the newspapers.
Some may call pedophilia to be a mental disease but when it harms the most vulnerable in society why should society honor their right to freedom? Of course there are those who say that the innocent maybe falsely accused will suffer gross injustice if they are forever left to rot behind bars.
The same argument is made against the death penalty but here the innocent does have the right to continue to appeal even when convicted so yes, I am for throwing away the key as far as pedophiles are concerned and would be delighted if there was an Indian website like www.safenz.org.nz to kept abreast with Indian pedophiles living amongst us.

Registering pedophiles on a web registry... I don't see this working simply because we don't have a mature ID system in India, say a tenable social security number. Besides, we're not quite there yet in terms of looking up information on the web. The only thing to do with pedophiles for now would be to lock them up.

Good point Mahesh but I do wish Indian society was more proactive in this matter.

Sadly, as Mahesh pointed out, we don't have a mature ID system, so it would be difficult to put a sex offender registry into practice. If you ever come across any initiative to do this, or have any ideas on how to get this started, please let me know. I run a program for survivors of Child Sexual Abuse (see my website for more info) and am keen to interact with other activists on this issue.
