ISN'T it about time the powers that be realised that men such as David Lutz Ward will always be a danger to little children?

Men like him do not deserve a reduction in sentence for admitting his crime (May 5). Of course he admitted his offence, to him there was nothing much wrong in it.

Paedophiles see no wrong in what they do, so will continue to abuse children until they eventually murder their victims.

Time and time again we see the "bad guys" being given the soft treatment, which undermines the judicial system and becomes a complete mockery of English law.

The judges are either in cahoots or barmy. Paedophiles need locking up for life or sentenced to compulsory castration.
