Today, September 10, United Russia Andrey Kochenov, President of the Council of Fathers under the leadership of the Presidential Commissioner for the Rights of the Child.
“ We are happy that such a bill & bdquo; United Russia & ldquo; on life imprisonment for pedophilia. Anna Yuryevna Kuznetsova and I have been looking for more severe punishment for a long time. Hopefully the law will be passed & raquo;, & mdash; the expert noted.
He also believes that the abolition of statute of limitations for crimes of this type should be added to this bill. “ But we have to understand that punishment alone will not solve this problem. These criminals must be deprived of a stimulating environment. Unfortunately, today in our society there is a rather immoral situation with the attitude towards pedophilia. Pedophilia is not just condemned, it is encouraged by some media and seen as a kind of hedonism. It definitely feeds pedophiles in a way. Therefore, the company should focus on creating a & mdash; healthy and negative & mdash; attitudes towards pedophilia. A healthy spiritual and moral atmosphere in society must be created from the school & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; He underlines. & nbsp;
Register of criminals & nbsp;
According to Kochenov, I would like to supplement life imprisonment with a measure such as the creation of a register of pedophiles, which he insists on to the Russian President's commissioner for children's rights. “ This registry should help with the verification of anyone who will be working professionally with children, to prevent potential criminals from being shot. Today we should be talking about all the ways to restrain and control these people, let alone toughen them up. The law on the constant monitoring of pedophiles who have served a sentence, which & bdquo; United Russia & ldquo; considering doing so, it will be very useful as a means of preventing subsequent crimes of this kind. Every year, unfortunately, the number of crimes against children increases in our country & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; underlines the expert.
“ I repeat, you can monitor those who have served their sentence, you can toughen the sentence, but if society itself does not pay attention and the atmosphere that feeds criminals does not go away no, we will not get a decrease in the number of crimes against children. As a former serious crime investigator, I assure you that all this did not happen in Soviet times. Pedophile criminals could be counted on one hand, and such a crime was an EU-wide crime, everyone knew it. Such crimes have been condemned by society, society has promoted other moral standards. Loyalty to pedophilia in society actually feeds the pedophiles we deal with today. We all need to understand that we are sailing in the same boat, if something potentially dangerous for children happens nearby, parents should be alerted. Society needs a high level of self-control. It is very important to understand who is living next to you, and not to be indifferent to what is going on & # 39; & # 39 ;, & mdash; Kochenov said. & nbsp;
He also noted that there is another important measure that he will propose, together with the ombudsperson for the rights of the child: amnesty for all those who , of course, are guilty before the law, but convicted of crimes against pedophiles. “ These are all those who stood up for the children but used excessive force. After the toughening of life sentences law is passed, the number of such crimes, I think, is expected to decrease. This means that the number of lynchings will also decrease. Now in Russia, unfortunately, there are several cases where people who stood up to protect children are being tried. But here, too, we have to be more careful not to free the real criminals', '' said Kochenov.
