Lets be honest... He is my kind of Scumm

A "Facebook" group called LETS GO HUNTING has taken the media by storm after securing SEVEN arrests of suspected paedos.

The secret group is formed of three dads and a mum who do not feel enough is being done to counter the problem of grooming over the internet so pose as children and arrange to meet the potential perverts before catching them on video camera and exposing the truth before handing their discoveries to police.

With tip-offs in Leicsetershire, Warwickshire and Birmingham, the group has already shown it can achieve a great deal. All of the groups members are known martial arts experts though their identies are a closely guarded secret.

The group leader, who calls himself Scumm Buster, has been quoted as saying "We want to protect our children from Paedophiles, we're coming for you".

Personally, I LOVE IT! Scumm Buster may not be the first to take this kind of stand, but the more that do the better. Sadly my point of view is not shared by the Police.

Warwickshire Police have said "It could compromise investigations, spark and abuser to harm a child or themselves and could be breaking the law".

So what do the police think should be done then? Well, We should be fair shouldn't we...

In the very same issue of the SAME NEWSPAPER, Warwickshire Constabulary has been condemned as one of the SOFTEST FIVE COUNTIES on offenders in the UK. Just 1.5% of offenders that are convicted will serve a prison sentence. Compare and contrast South Wales who will hand down custodial Sentences on 4.6% making them 5th hardest force in the UK.

How do the police expect to be taken seriously when there is such a postcode lottery as to how crimes are handled and punishments handed out? Not that dealing with paedophiles will ever be easy.

Statistics suggest that in the UK alone, there are over 30,000,000 members - This is including criminals as well who, despite the best efforts of the security services manage to get online via smuggled mobile phones, let alone any number of potential perverts out there.

No matter how good a job CEOP tries to do or the police, there is no way in the world that they can manage to investigate and prevent any kind of grooming alone. Even with the proposals that were powered through by the US government for the controversial CISPA program are only going to be able to cover the most "serious" issues... There are billions of emails sent each day, How are you supposed to investigate every single one? It near impossible.

People like Scumm Buster and his team are essential to keeping the world a safer place, and they have got things just right as well. They investigate and hand over all the proof to police. They do not act like Vigialantes and go on the all out attack as many people would like to do, They get the evidence and arm the appropriate people to minimize risk.

Instead of condemning Scumm, You should be giving him and his team a bloody medal!
