In the light of a local community succeeding in the forced eviction of a convicted paedophile ( who will end up God knows where....) Do you think they should be permanently tagged?

I think they should permanently be tagged with a hollow point.
Then we will always know where they are with that tracking device called a headstone.

From what I've heard of paedophilia, it's not something where people can "do their time" and get over it. It's kind of like an illness, but much more vile.
If it were my child, I'd want the bugger castrated, left for the other prisoners to have their fun with and never released.
There is also the other side to consider whereby a large proportion of those who molest children were molested themselves as children. So in light of this I think electronic tagging after prison, and therapy in prison and after is a reasonable option. The tag should only be removed after a minimum of 5 years and after a a panel or 3 or 4 experts in the field plus community representatives are convinced there is little chance of reoffence.
It should also depend on the age of the child, the age of the offender, and the child's role, if any, in inititation (for older children 14 and up or so).
BTW. This is a really morbid question.

in contrast to wot most ppl believe most paedophiles do NOT re offend, some do however, but these are few. The media would have u believe a child is snatched everyday.
the proportion of sex offenders as a whole(not just paedophiles) only makes up less than 6% of all crime in the UK a yr, but the media present 40% of their news as crime namely sexual offences.
However, i do belive there should be restriction zones around places where children are expected ie school/ play zones and any improvements in this area would help parents relax.

There is no easy answer. an eltronic foot braclett keeps the honest or the dumb, honest. Occassionally a wrong guy will be convicted. He should not have been punished the first time.
Secondly our justice system treats all prevys the same. It matters not if they peed in the open, or beat up or worst who they fondled.
My suggestion is treat them differently. But some perks are smart, or convincing liars, and they can hide their tendency to reharm.
If the guy just urinated in the wrong stop no braclett, If he was wrongly accused no braclett. It is hard to tell.
So I have no answer

I think if you step outside the law then you should lose protection from the law. Peados should be castrated, chemically or physically and be electronically tagged for the rest of their lives so their moves can be monitered.
And before the PC brigade start bleating about a breach of the peados rights, I believe that if you step outside the law then you should lose protection from the law. Like somebody said, what about the rights of the children he targets and their parents?

Something should be done. It is a rare thing for a pedophile to become 'cured' of his/her disease. If they have done it once, they will do it again and likely get ballsier with their actions. If they fondled prior, they could rape this time, and with the rape, it could give them courage to kill. Once it has been determined a person is a pedophile, they need to be extricated from society.
That being said, the one problem I do have with this is what about those that have been falsely accused? I know it's not as likely a child will accuse someone of rape as it is for a 'woman scorned' to falsely accused someone of rape. But there have been cases where adults have been falsely accused of molesting children - recall that daycare case out in California some years ago?

Absolutely not, they are entitled to there privacy, besides that would be unconstitutional, why is it that we think that we have the right to tell pedophiles were to live and where they can go and not go and who they can interact with, we don't do this with convicted murderers. I think that parents just need to be safer about who there children are with, i know this is not full proof, but we can keep restricting the rights of pedophiles they are still people.

I am sure this would be a violation of their constitutional rights. Plus there are many kinds of criminal, and it would be unfair to make pedophiles submit to this and not other criminals.
Having said all that, I have no problem with it. If it was put on a ballot I would be the first yay vote. All criminals are bad but there is a special place in hell for those who rape and molest children.

I agree that they should be shot. But i guess if that is not an option then yes they should be tagged. People who do that do not change, they may pretend to be alright for a while but they are going to do it again if given the chance.

I think this would be a good idea. Simply because, I have two children, and you never know where these people are. They could be the greeter at walmart, or anyone else. It really bothers me that these people have the same freedom to walk around undetected, stalking our young people. This tagging system would be a good idea.
