In your editorial “Protecting our children”, you write that child abusers’ names are not allowed to be published on court order to protect the victims.

My suggestion is that all the names of child abusers should be published indiscriminately, irrespective of whether they are related to their victims or not.

The victims’ lives are already shattered anyway, so it would not make that much difference. If anything, they might earn more sympathy, while the lives of the people who abused of them will be ruined forever.
