Most PSD / CDS eliminated the possibility for parents to have access to the list with the identity of those convicted of sexual abuse of minors, a last-minute change. But the terms in which the national registry of child abusers was eventually approved on Friday in parliament caused a criticism from the opposition that he believes the ultimate solution chorus is even “worse”.
The now approved proposal allows persons exercising parental responsibilities and to have a “well-founded fear” that someone sexually abuses children who ask the police to ascertain the facts that support this fear, but no longer allows them access to identity or abode of the damned.
“The proposal was better. [Parents no longer have access to the identity] but may ask if there is a pedophile in your area. Now this will not serve for anything, except to create a generalized suspicion “, criticized the Member of the PS, Isabel Oneto.
” The proposal that was approved is utter nonsense, “argued Rep PCP António Filipe, for whom the climate of suspicion turns out to be even worse with this change. “This leads to a situation of generalized suspicion and social alarm. Everyone will be suspicious of all is one without head or tail, do not know who had this idea pilgrim “he said.
You Luís Finance, the Left Bloc, found that the majority is leaving” drop parental access cloaked mode list “.
However, for the deputy PSD Hugo Soares opposition is making a lot of noise for nothing. “We have not changed anything special. Now, if a citizen has a well-founded fear that in your area live someone convicted of sexual abuse of children, may ask the police, giving that statement, but without the address or identity “. What is this information then? “To strengthen surveillance care,” he said.
In the Parliament, the Member of the PSD Teresa Leal Coelho also devalued the change, considering that it will “in the sense of what the opposition parties have been advocating” and is “in line with that advocated by the Minister of Justice in Parliament”. “The minister has always said that parents had no access to identification. We admit, however, that the standard needed clarification because its interpretation generated confusion, “he explained later to PUBLIC.
The access by parents to the database of convicted sex abuse lower was the most controversial issue of the Government’s proposal and was outright withdrawal because most realized that raised “constitutional problems”, recognized the deputy CDS Telmo Correia, quoted by Radio Renaissance.
“Congressman [Telmo Correia] made that statement because he followed the interpretation that could be made. That we clear now. The intent of this registration is that make a community policing. Knowing that the police have more instruments to be able to make a community policing is advantageous. Imagine you have a small daughter. If you have information that in your area there is someone convicted [of child abuse] has special caution. For example, can not let go to coffee alone, “he exemplified Teresa Leal Coelho.
Asked by PUBLIC, the Ministry of Justice found that” it was not made a change but a clarification of the proposal. “And stressed that “the Minister of Justice in the presentation of the original proposal never said it was intended to be given the identification of convicted parents and that this was never the spirit of the law.” What was expected “was just that parents who suspect someone, they could go to a police station and then the police just told them whether or not sex offenders under the residence area to be attentive without revealing identifications, “the guardianship.
But in Indeed, the proposal before its amendment allowed parents to have access to the identification of offenders, which by the way has created much controversy with prosecutors, judges of the Public Prosecution Council and the National Commission for Data Protection to report the unconstitutionality. The proposal provided that parents could access “to convict registration information” and that if they suspected that “particular person listed in the register”, could go to a police station for that they be “confirmed or ruled their entry in the register and your residence in the county. “
