I have followed with horror the story of little Sarah Payne. Along with thousands nationwide, it deeply affected me.

So many children hurt and killed, stretching back for so many years. There still doesn't seem to be any solution. No matter how many times we read about it, see it, hear of it, these appalling creatures are still out there, still carrying out unspeakable acts against innocents.

I, along with millions of decent people, am entirely in sympathy with the Payne family and agree this monster who killed their little girl must be found and brought to justice - though no justice can ever be appropriate or compensate for the loss of their beautiful daughter.
