Rejected petition Publish names and addresses of paedophiles

More details

Parents should have a right to know if their children are in danger from sex offenders. Currently, paedophiles are protected from being identified, for example, having their name changed, when they get out of prison. This means that it is easily possible for them to reoffend.

To prevent vigilante mobs etc. these details should only be released under a Freedom of Information request, and it would not be allowed to release these details to other people.
