Publicizing info of pedophiles helps protect kids

ON FRIDAY, a local court in Huaian city, East China's Jiangsu province, sentenced four men found guilty of raping and sexually abusing minors. Besides receiving their deserved legal penalties, the court also made their names and other personal information public and forbade them from taking any jobs in the future that would bring them into contact with children. Beijing Youth Daily comments:

Cases involving sexual assaults on minors have shocked people and prompted calls for children to be better protected.

For that reason, judiciaries in certain cities have tried to publicize the personal information of sex offenders of this kind, as well as prohibiting pedophiles from taking certain jobs, so as to prevent them from being around minors.
