400,000 strangers will know about your kid

Nibble Social workers, councillors, coppers and catholic priests

BRITAIN'S new database which will contain all the personal details of every kid in Britian will be open to nearly 400,000 people.

ContactPoint, which has cost the taxpayer £224 million, is a directory which contains the name, address, date of birth, GP and school of all under 18s - as well as the name and contact details of any professional working with a child.

Children's Minister Baroness Delyth Morgan said parents will not be allowed to have their child removed from the list and will just have to suffer if the disk containing the complete database turns up on a skip somewhere.

Baroness Morgan said that all the people that need to see the database include local authorities, Government agencies, the police, the NHS and some children's charities.

Of course statistically it means that you will be handing over your kids details to dozens of paedophiles, but we are sure that it will somehow protect us. µ

Doubt it matters

Unless the files include a photo, I highly doubt any paedophiles in those agencies would bother 'stalking', or whatever, those minors, when there are so many children they see in day-to-day life...

Why all the fuss?

Its not as if the government is going to lose or misuse any of this data.

I can't believe you would put Catholic priests into the title and then not mention anything about them in the article. Do you even know that the majority of UK is NOT Catholic, and that most of the cases that have to do with priests and kids are in other religions? You must have meant Anglican and not Catholic.

Uhm

"Its not as if the government is going to lose or misuse any of this data."

Such naivite among the youth of today. Or do they possess irony?

I quote Robbie Williams "In the future, everyone will be anonymous, for fifteen minutes."

Excuse ME!!

Your unabashed Catholic "Bashing" and not-so-subtle inference about Catholic priests exposes your ignorence, your small-mindeness, your pathetic "rhetoric" and your obvious anti-religious bias.
Keep your disgusting prejudice to YOURSELF, and I just MAY take you more serious than an annoying itch in my crotch. Jerk.

Woah TBone

Settle petal! It may not have been particularly new or funny, but it was clearly a joke.

Anyway, God knows the Catholic church deserves most of the satire and ridicule it attracts.

Now I know!

aha! Now i geedit, so this is the brainchild of a group of pedo's and with master keys they can check out all ur kiddies and even make pretty graphs showing the geo location of the most vulnerable kids and organise their mates for a nice picnic in the local park.
But then again I have a few more IQ points to see that UK.gov is full of twisted, self-deluded, pedos and assorted nuts who have been bullied at school way too much so they have to take it out on someone. Give 'em a break! Didn't you know that pedos are people too and we are all the same and live in perfect warmth and harmony.
FUKING CUNTS! Castration in Trafalgar Square!

@ Lotto PL & TBone

Although the mension of the Catholic church was a cheap dig it does have some truth to it!! Here in britain we have had alot of abuse cases involving catholic priests and children and there has been alot of evidence suggesting that the church itself has encouraged the covering up of these incidents over the years. So, before getting on your high horse maybe you should check out some of the recent abuse cases and also research into the fact the Catholic church has encouraged homosexuals into becoming priests for decades!
