I have been pondering a response to this statement for a few minutes now. I must respectfully disagree with you. I think that everyone, including good parents, need to worry about scum like this guy.

They will take advantage of any weakness and it may only take a moment. E.g. kid's being bullied and is exceedingly vulnerable for a short period of time; that kind of stuff.

No matter what we like to think, being abused and taken advantage by scum is not the exclusive dominion of disadvantaged or neglected children.

You are too right - in fact, I'd add that it is often those who are too complacent that are left standing and asking "how could this happen?"

That man needs to be taken off the streets, and I have no doubt that he will be, either through his own actions, or those of someone he has hurt previously. I suspect it will only be then that Danton's parents (I forget his real name) will rest peacefully. I have no doubt that the police will be paying many "friendly visits" as well.

More importantly, we need to do more to protect those who don't know enough to protect themselves.

I would counter that argument by simply saying if you are a good parent then you are vigilant and are always making sure your children are safe and protected. Worry about scum like that if you want but the point I was trying to make is that if you're a quality parent you're doing all you need to do to ensure your childs protection from this sort of thing.

It still comes back to instilling the proper values in your children and trying your best in hopes that they'll have a good enough head on their shoulders not to get involved in something like that.
