was it just me or does that picture of the 2 paedophiles filming the little girl in the park seem slightly fixed? it just seemed a little odd that whoever the little girls parents are werent wondering what the 2 odd looking men were doing?! and also how come some photographers for the newspaper just so happened to be in the park?? just thought it seemed a little fixed to me.
anyone else think this?

It did look slightly staged, yes! Glad I'm not the only one to have thought this.

What really got me though was that when you went on the News of the World website, there was the picture and story then, when you scrolled to the bottom of the page, there was an ad for their baby of the year competition with a pic of a little girl in a bath.

Seemed a slightly odd juxtaposition to me.

[missjef]

oh my god thats so odd, why would you have that ad after that story??!

and im also glad to hear im not the only one

The two men were supposedly filming the ducks in the lake which was behind the News of the World photographer.
I should imagine that would be feasible to passing people, I mean you don't assume men are paedophiles in the normal course of events do you?
The News of the World were there because they were keeping an eye on these men for the purpose of getting a story. It's a shame the police don't do the same for the purpose of protecting children.

i think thats a really good point galltin - if only the police did that, then maybe the streets would be safer.

...come on, this is the news of the world we are talking about here, how many "undercover arab " scoops have thay had in the last few years, never believe anything you read in the tabloids.... ok, the 2 blokes concerned are convicted paedophiles, (else they would not be allowed to publish that)... however the little girl was probably the photographers daughter..... you have to have permission to publish a childs photo in the paper, blurred out face or not, ....

[galltin]

You could well be right ermintrude (although in my opinion you're not) , but frankly who cares as long as it stirs up someone in to action that will help the problem?
Of course the News of the World is only after a story. Thats their line of business, but if it takes us just one step nearer to changing the laws of this country to protect children , well then I think it's o.k..
