This article is good but in Franky’s case it’s massively over complicating what would have been a simple (not easy) conversation to have.

>Once, when Jo was at their house, Greg arrived to collect his daughter. Anne was horrified; she couldn’t believe it. She ran inside to get Andrew. “He’s here,” she said.
>The man who had molested their daughter was metres away from them, outside their house, but the Deans felt they had to act breezy. “We didn’t want to make a fuss in front of the girls” or “stir anything up that might make Franky think anything about it,” Anne says.
Her dad’s a hero for not being in prison.

What the fuck
> he was sentenced to a three-year community order but no jail time – despite admitting to all 22 charges.
Absolutely pathetic. Why must this country put children in danger by allowing known child molesters to be free.
