Children in their own country are strictly protected, and children in other countries work hard.
On Wednesday morning, when a man was about to leave Australia on a plane at Sydney Airport for another country, he was suddenly taken down by a crowd of police. At that time, the crowd was confused: what is this situation? Is this man a fugitive?
Just as everyone was confused, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop held a temporary press conference at the airport to unravel the confusion: the man was a pedophile!
The first law in the world to prohibit child sex offenders from leaving the country
In May, Australia`s goverment enacted a new law: all registered child offenders who have served their sentences, but still have an obligation to report their whereabouts to the police, are not allowed to leave Australia without the permission of law enforcement agencies. If you break the law, you face up to five years in prison. At the same time, law enforcement agencies have the right to refuse to issue passports, confiscate existing passports, or order them to surrender foreign passports.
In short: if you ever sexually assaulted children, I`m sorry, you don`t expect to leave Australia!
The man was arrested on Wednesday, December 13, 2017, the day the law came into force, and probably the first person in the world to be arrested for it.
Australia is once again at the forefront of the world, becoming the first country in the world to explicitly prohibit child sex offenders from leaving the country in the form of legislation!
To protect children in other countries as well as to protect children in Australia.
At present, there are about 20,000 child sex offenders in Australia who have served their sentences, but still have an obligation to report regularly to law enforcement agencies, all of whom are registered because they still have the possibility of hitting children again. It is not just children in Australia who are at risk, but children in other countries.
According to a survey by a non-goverment group, there have been more and more cases of sexual abuse by children traveling abroad over the past 20 years as international travel has become increasingly cheap and convenient.
And the greatest significance of this Australian law is that it can prevent these paedophiles and sex offenders from moving to other countries and harming other children in an environment out of surveillance. Avoid these perverted sexual assaults on children in other countries to the maximum extent possible.
This also reflects Australia`s responsible attitude as a big country!
Zero tolerance for child sexual abuse
In fact, paedophilia exists in every country, and Australia is no exception. However, Australia is abhorrent for child sexual crimes and has zero tolerance for paedophilia.
Society as a whole spurned
People who sexually assault children are regarded as scum in human dregs and are despised by all. Even in prison, a child sexual assailant can be spurned, bullied or even murdered by other prisoners!
In 2003, paedophile Brett Cowan was sentenced to life in prison for killing Daniel Morcombe, a pupil at Sunshine Coast. But in prison, he became the public enemy of almost all prisoners, who would beat him whenever they had the chance, and anyone who hit him would be treated as a hero. Others spilled hot boiling water on him, causing him to permanently disfigure.
The media exposed it with no mercy
The media is also zero tolerance for child sexual abuse, no matter what nature of child sexual abuse, whether light or heavy, and no matter who, will be severely exposed, disreputable.
Strict supervision
In Australia, all child-related industries, not only kindergartens, but also children`s clothing sellers, are subject to background checks on national criminal records and the history of misconduct at work, if any. Will be prohibited from working in contact with children. The approved person will be given a five-year background check qualification number, which will continue to be subject to supervision, and will be disqualified immediately if new evidence proves that the person no longer meets the requirements. After that, the industry will shut the door to you completely.
[法] stringent laws
In Australia, child protection is the most detailed law, and the definition of child abuse is very low, even if you just leave the child alone in the car, it is illegal. Doctors, nurses, teachers, police and others who are responsible for reporting child abuse can also be held legally liable if they see child abuse not reported, up to three years` imprisonment in Victoria.
Strict enforcement
Last year, when Sheng-Wen Wang, a 24-year-old Taiwanese youth, arrived at the Australian airport, a large number of kid porn videos and photoses were recovered from his personal computer by Australian Border Protection Agency officials. The police immediately arrested him and sentenced him to 18 months in prison.
Earlier, an Australian takeaway Chinese man touched another family`s children two times as a token of intimacy, and was arrested and charged with "sexual assault on children."
There may be cultural differences between Chinese and foreign cultures in this case, but it also shows that as long as there is an obscene tendency towards children, the Australian judiciary will attract sufficient attention and make every effort to protect children. Avoid harm.
Pedophiles go abroad
Many paedophiles feel unable to "play" in Australia, so they go to Southeast Asia to find bait.
In Australia, nearly 800 registered paedophiles travelled to Asian countries in the six months between the beginning of 2016 and the middle of the year alone, according to data. While it is not directly recognized that the purpose of their trip is to sexually abuse children, it does pose a potential threat to children in parts of South-East Asia.
Since 2014, there have been at least 100 cases of children sexually assaulted in Indonesia by Australians.
One of them, Robert Andrew Fiddes Ellis, a phantom from Victoria, was even more outrageous. The 70-year-old has sexually assaulted as many as 16 girls in Indonesia for more than two years since 2014.
The youngest of these girls is only 10 years old, the oldest is only 17 years old, and all of them are underage!
He was arrested by local police last year and sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The incident made Australia`s goverment aware of the great harm these paedophiles do to other countries, and decided to introduce the world`s first "ban on paedophilia going abroad."
If you ever sexually assaulted a child in Australia, want to go abroad, no way! To protect the children of their own country, but also to do their duty to the children of other countries, this is Australia as a big country of the amount and responsibility! We also hope that there will be fewer and fewer cases of sexual abuse of children and that all children will grow up safely and happily.
