Canadian Police Rescue Boys From Pedophile's Hideout
Wednesday, August 02, 2006
KIPLING, Saskatchewan — Canadian police recovered two missing boys early Wednesday at the farm hideout of a convicted pedophile, ending a search that sparked angry questions about the nation's sex offender registry.
The case led some groups to complain the public does not have enough information about sex offenders living in their midst.
Peter Whitmore, 35, of Toronto, was arrested at the farm in the western state of Saskatchewan following a 10-hour standoff broadcast live on national TV. The boys, ages 10 and 14, were found unharmed, police said.
Whitmore has been convicted four times for abduction and sexual abuse since 1993 and was released in June 2005 after a three-year jail term.
Police say he picked up the 14-year-old several weeks ago in the neighboring province of Manitoba and took him on a road trip west into Saskatchewan, where he allegedly kidnapped the 10-year-old.
Though details were still sketchy, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the teenager apparently befriended the younger boy and the two went for a bike ride Sunday. The boy's parents reported him missing when he didn't come home........http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,206738,00.html
Apparently their sex offender registry works about as good as their gun registry. Probably better.
