Child abusers should be made to join a register just like sex offenders, Tories say
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. Your support makes all the difference."
"The Conservative Party has called for a new register, similar to the existing sex offenders list, to track individuals convicted of child abuse offences, arguing it would prevent them from "disappearing" and reoffending. Shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy described the proposal as a "vital safeguard" against repeat crimes. Currently, those convicted of specific sex offences are legally required to inform police of changes to their name, address, travel plans, and any contact with children."
The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground journalism about reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The appeal highlights documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights and emphasizes trust across the political spectrum. The Conservative Party has proposed a child cruelty register modeled on the sex offenders list to track people convicted of child abuse offences and prevent reoffending. The proposal would require convictions for child cruelty, infanticide, causing or allowing a child's death, or female genital mutilation to provide personal information on release. An amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill has been tabled in the House of Lords to implement the scheme.
