My sympathy goes to the family and friends of little Sarah Payne.

More than two years later, the whole thing has been brought into sharp focus again, which must be extremely harrowing.

I applaud Sara and her fight to bring an end to such tragedies.

If paedophiles are made and not born, the sooner children subjected to such abuse are identified, the sooner they can be given careful counselling to prevent them from becoming abusers themselves.
