About Me

A song for Sarah's Law 'Sarah's World' . . .
Sarah's World expresses the awful reality that our children are at risk and it's everyones responsibility to protect them. But the lyrics reflect most of all the determination of her family and many friends to make sure that Sarah's stolen life will serve as a catalyst to protect our children in the future. We can and must make that happen. God bless you Sarah - Mark Scott.
In 2002, the late uncle of the murdered schoolgirl Sarah Payne, Paul Williams, approached Mark Scott with a request from the Payne family to write a song for Sarah. A father himself, it was no easy task to create a song that dealt with such a shocking event. Over a period of months, Mark got close to Paul and was able to absorb the emotions surrounding the family. In his words and music he has truly captured the spirit of an innocent girl and the mother's battle to push for a new law, similar to Megan's Law, called Sarah's Law. His creation is aptly named 'Sarah's World' and the video can now be seen and heard on this site. It has touched the souls of those who have heard it, "it raises the hairs on the back of your neck" is a common response. Her uncle Paul Williams said: "We want to make children aware of the dangers and we believe the best way to reach them is through music." Sarah's parents Sara and Michael came up with the idea and Paul approached Mark to write the song. Mark Scott, said, "The song not only serves as a tribute to Sarah's life but also helps communicate the need for us all to be aware of the dangers that exist. It wasn't an easy task to create a song that deals with such a sensitive subject matter."
Eight-year-old Sarah was grabbed from near her grandparents' home at Kingston Gorse, near Worthing, in July 2000. Paedophile Roy Whiting is serving life for her kidnap and murder. Mr Hodson said, "Every parent should listen to Sarah's World. A line from the song reads: "So don't forget why we should try for the futures of our kind, don't let them hide, don't let them cry." In all of his songs his lyrics truly reflect the real issues of life - the real issues that affect everyone. Please DOWNLOAD Sarah's World FREE and play whenever you can - no record company we approached would encourage the promotion of the songs due to the sensitivity of the subject matter. Please let Sarah's World speak for itself for the sake of all our children and keep us all aware of the danger paedophiles present. Please could you vote for the song on this link below


Through the pain and the enormous sorrow felt by a nation following the murders of Sarah Payne, Holly Wells, Jessica Chapman, Amanda Dowler and and so many other children, should urge us all to remember that through the horror and pain, good must be the final victor. Sarah's World and A song for our children expresses the awful reality that our children are at risk and it's every ones responsibility to protect them. Let's make sure that these stolen lives serve as a catalyst to protect our children in the future. We can and must make that happen. The time has arrived for a nation to seriously debate the security and protection of our children. The damage to our innocents can no longer be tolerated; we must take 'Legitimate' steps to create a safe environment for the future of our kind.VOTE FOR SARAH'S LAW -CLICK ON THE BLACK BANNER BELOW

Sarah's Law campaign gaining support . . .The public must know as much as possible.Says FORMER child protection officer DAN NORRIS is Labour MP for Wansdyke, Somerset, where the first of the pilot schemes will be launched.Backing plans ... Dan Norris Here he explains why he welcomes the project:If we really are serious about protecting our children, we are duty bound to try to overcome the challenges of protecting them.In 20 years of experience in child protection I have had the misfortune to work with many paedophiles and many children who have suffered.It can be a very moving, humbling and yet privileged experience because children sometimes tell you the most terrible things.And my experience only makes it even clearer to me that we need to do something.The whole point of a pilot scheme is to make sure that we don’t just have a theory that we think might work.We need to learn from actual experience, so that if this legislation is rolled out nationally, we are sure it has been proven to be successful. We have to get this right. And I don’t think we can shirk our responsibility in this area just because it is difficult.Governments in the past have avoided taking action for just this reason — and I think they have been wrong to do so.I believe the public are actually ahead of the politicians in many respects because they do want to know about convicted paedophiles living in their local areas.And I think they are right to want information — with only one proviso.I want the public to have as much information as possible, if that makes it safer for their children, provided that that information is used properly.We do not want the scheme to lead to a lot of vigilante attacks which push paedophiles underground so that they cause even more harm. But I don’t think any responsible person would want that.We actually have, arguably, the best child protection system in the Western world — but that is still a long way short of what it needs to be.Literally tens of thousands of children this very day are being harmed, and I am not prepared to sit down and do nothing about it.The pilot may not go as far as Megan’s Law in the US (see below) but it is absolutely where I thought it would be.The part of the project which allows lone parents to make an enquiry about a prospective partner is a huge step forward. And even if this is the only part of the law to come into effect, it would be wonderful.We have got to tip the balance towards the victims, rather than towards those who harm children.Yes, there is sometimes a price that innocent people have to pay — but we recognise that in other aspects of law.Somehow with children we have forgotten this, and that is completely unacceptable.Parents will use info to boost kids' safetyPeople who support Sarah's Law: Lord Stevens, former Met Police Chief, "Its all about a parents right to protect their child, a childs right to be safe. If it just saves one child from sex abuse and the lifetime of nightmares that too often follow, then I'm afraid its worth all the inconvenience in the world for the paedophile."

Sir Ronald Waterhouse - Former judge who headed Britain's biggest ever inquiry into child abuse, "I support the principle of Sarah's Law. I sympathise with the concerns of victims and particularly their parents about the idea of an offender returning to communities and being around and about. Unfortunately there is a high proportion of re-offending among paedophile offenders. If the balance can be struck between controlled access of information and stiff penalties for misuse of information it can help parents protect children." (Sir Ronald is author of the North Wales Child Abuse Tribunal of Inquiry "Lost in Care". He made 72 recommendations for the prevention of such abuse).

Bob McLachlan - Former Head of Scotland Yard's Paedophile Squad, "Sarah's Law will enable parents and carers to be vigilant not vigilantes. We've been pushing for Sarah's Law since 2000 and we are still waiting. In America police release relevant and necessary information about moderate to high risk sex offenders living in the community. The aim is to address public concerns and prevent the re-victimisation of children by these registered offenders - so why the hell do we find it so difficult to do that in the UK?" Carol Vorderman- Broadcaster, I would like to congratulate the News of the World on fighting this campaign for the last six years. Sara Payne is an inspiration to us all for sticking with Sarahs Law and working so hard in the memory of her daughter. Hopefully common sense has seen its way through and Sarahs Law will be the success it always deserved to be. The world of sex offenders is such a disturbing area. There is no logic with these paedophiles, its an obsession and they cannot be cured. They commit such horrendous crimes, they really are horrible. Parents HAVE to be able to protect their children, and Sarahs Law allows parents to have the information to do that.

Chris Tarrant - Broadcaster, I am backing Sarah's Law 100 per cent, absolutely. These paedophiles are really, really sick and we should be aware of where they are. We're allowing too many perverts to wander around and actually be protected. Why would we want to protect these people? I really think we should know where they are because they are not going to get 'better'. You can't say, 'He used to be a paedophile but he's fine now'. Chris Ryan- SAS , hero, "As a parent I believe that we should know where paedophiles are. When a paedophile commits a crime he should forfeit his right to privacy."

Simon Cowell - American Idol and X-Factor judge, "I totally endorse this campaign. This is something that should be made law. I back Sarah's Law 100 per cent."

Louis Walsh - X-Factor judge, "I think Sarah's Law is a brilliant idea to protect our children from predatory paedophiles and I back the News of the World's campaign and Sara Payne 100 per cent. These people are sick, they don't change, and parents should have the right to know where they are so they can protect their children.

Dale Winton - TV star, I support Sarahs Law 100 per cent as there is nothing more important than the safety of our children. It sends a message to paedophiles that this is totally unacceptable behaviour.

Gabby Logan - Sports commentator, "I think Sarah's Law is a great idea because anyone who commits this kind of crime against children has forsaken their right to civil liberties and freedom. A parents right to protect their child is imperative."

Daniella Westbrook - Actress, "I think its fantastic that Sarahs Law finally looks like coming into effect. Every parent has a right to know if a paedophile is living or working in their area. Bruce Jones -Actor, I fully support Sarahs Law. Parents have the right to know if there are paedophiles living in their community. It is the only way they can protect their children.

Ron Atkinson - Former Manchester United manager, "I'm very much in favour of parents being given access to this sort of information. It will help protect our young kids on the streets."

Tricia Penrose - Actress, "Being a mum I totally back Sarah's Law. Recently I heard in the news that a hostel housing sex offenders was close to a school, in this modern world this should not be happening. Therefore the US law makes total sense that mums and dads everywhere be alerted to these situations - this needs to be introduced in the UK. Even better I feel that authorities should have the intelligence not to site such offenders so close to schools."

Barry Cryer - Comedian, "I am very supportive of what the News of the World are doing and the principle of protecting children against paedophiles, but the accent has to be on controlling how the information is given out. We don't want vigilantes."

Dickie Bird - Cricket legend, "I'm with the parents on this one. It's so sad what's happened to this country with all these dangerous people on the loose. We should at least have the right to know who they are and where they are."

Bernard Manning - Comedian, "Paedophiles should be locked up forever in the first place. I'm a dad and a grandfather and there is no such thing as a low risk with that sort, in my view, but as they are out there, then parents should be able to find out if there's one living next door."

Sharon Henderson - Nikki Allan whose daughter was abducted and killed when she was just seven-years-old, "I think Sarah's Law is a brilliant idea but I don't think it goes far enough. I think we should be told if any sex offenders are living nearby. I've already lost one child and I do everything I can to protect my other children. Imagine my horror when I discovered the Lotto Rapist Iorworth Hoare was living just across the road from me and my daughter had walked past him. I should have known he was living nearby so I could protect my children."


Mark Scott on the Sarah's Law campaign "We need to compound Sarah’s law with a UK version of Amber Alert and the Adam Walsh child protection act. This will then integrate the information of sex offenders register and ensure that the police and public have access to the same information across the country, helping prevent the most serious sex offenders from evading detection by moving or going underground. Impose imprisonment for up to 20 years on sex offenders who knowingly fail to register. . .
Sarah's Law Proposals 1. It is every parents right to have controlled access to information about individuals in their neighbourhood, including convicted child sex offenders who may pose a risk to their child. In appropriate cases this access should be also given to responsible members of the public who have a responsibility for the care of children. 2. There must be severe penalties for any person who abuses access to this information. 3. Parents should be able to access a local record of all organisations to determine if their employees or volunteers are subject to the child access vetting procedures. 4. Governments should establish a task force to review existing programmes to promote child safety for children and parents.

Empowering victims of sex abuse 1. When passing sentence, courts should have the power to prevent offenders contacting or living near their victims. The orders would be made on the basis of representations made by the victim. 2. Release Licence conditions should include restrictions on contact with victims. 3. Every child victim of sexual abuse should as of right receive appropriate support, counselling and therapy.

Making prevention more effective 1. The existing police vetting arrangements for people intending to work with children should be extended to cover all voluntary organisations. The government should make funds available to allow voluntary organisations to apply for the vetting information free of charge. 2. The existing Sex Offender Register should be amended to: Require registration to be made within 72 hours of release from custody; require registration to be made in person at designated police stations; the offender should be required to have his or her photograph taken for identification purposes at the time of registration and at any other reasonable time when his or her appearance has changed; the re-registration of offenders should take place at pre-determined intervals; the penalty for failing to comply with the register should be increased from six months to five years' imprisonment; offenders should be required to notify foreign travel. 3. Sex Offenders Orders should be extended to enable high-risk offenders who fall outside the current sex offender registration requirement to be included in the Register. 4. Sex Offenders Orders should be revised to enable the police to make greater use of them as a pro-active tool. 5. It is every victims right to understand the sentence imposed by the court. Victims have a right to know what period in custody the offender will actually serve. 6. Sex offenders should be subject to a risk-assessment process at the time of their sentence by the court and indeterminate sentences be imposed in appropriate cases. 7. Where an offender is assessed as suffering from severe personality disorder and as a consequence poses a significant threat to children, he or she should be detained in secure accommodation.
Sarah's Law news. . .


USA : President bush leads the way.
President Bush has just Signed The Adam Walsh Child Protection And Safety Act Of 2006. This law marks an important step forward in our Nation's efforts to protect those who cannot protect themselves. It will strengthen Federal laws to protect our children from sexual and other violent crimes, prevent child pornography, and make the Internet safer for our sons and daughters.
President Bush Believes Our Society Has A Duty To Protect Children From Exploitation And Danger. By enacting this law, we are sending a clear message across the country that those who prey on our children will be caught, prosecuted, and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
The Administration Has Worked To Give Law Enforcement New Tools To Go After Criminals Who Kidnap And Exploit Children.
The PROTECT Act. In 2003, President Bush signed the PROTECT Act that expanded the use of Amber Alerts, making grants available to all 50 States so law enforcement can quickly alert the public about missing children and their abductors. Operation Predator. The Administration launched Operation Predator to help law enforcement track down and arrest foreign pedophiles, human traffickers, sex tourists, and Internet pornographers who prey on our children. Project Safe Childhood. Earlier this year, the Department of Justice launched Project Safe Childhood to help Federal, State, and local law enforcement investigate and prosecute crimes against children that are facilitated by the Internet and other electronic communications. The Adam Walsh Child Protection And Safety Act Of 2006 Builds On The Administration's Progress In Four Important Ways:
Expanding The National Sex Offender Registry. The bill will integrate the information in State sex offender registry systems and ensure that law enforcement has access to the same information across the United States, helping prevent sex offenders from evading detection by moving from State to State. Data drawn from this comprehensive registry will be made available to the public so parents have the information they need to help protect their children from sex offenders.
Strengthening Federal Penalties For Crimes Against Children. The bill imposes tough mandatory minimum penalties for the most serious crimes against children and increases penalties for crimes such as sex trafficking of children and child prostitution. It also provides grants to States to help them institutionalize sex offenders who have shown they cannot change their behavior and are about to be released from prison. Making It Harder For Sex Predators To Reach Our Children On The Internet. The bill authorizes new regional Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforces that will provide funding and training to help State and local law enforcement combat crimes involving the sexual exploitation of minors on the Internet. Creating A New National Child Abuse Registry And Requiring Investigators To Do Background Checks Of Adoptive And Foster Parents Before They Are Approved To Take Custody Of A Child. By giving child protective service professionals in all 50 States access to this critical information, we will improve their ability to investigate child abuse cases and help ensure that vulnerable children are not put into situations of abuse or neglect.

Some Highlights Of The Bill:

* Establishes a comprehensive national system for the registration of sex offenders. * Establishes three tiers of sex offenders. * Requires all jurisdictions to enact criminal penalties for sex offenders who fail to comply with registration requirements. * Requires sex offenders to appear in person to verify their registration. * Imposes a fine and/or term of imprisonment for up to 20 years on sex offenders who knowingly fail to register. * Makes registration as a sex offender a mandatory condition of probation and supervised release. * Eliminates the statute of limitations for prosecutions of child abduction and felony sex offenses against children. * Directs the Attorney General to provide technical assistance to jurisdictions to help identify and locate sex offenders relocated due to a major disaster.


Sarah's Law is often misunderstood and as a result unfounded criticisms have been leveled. Here are some questions and answers that explode the myths:. . .

QUESTION: Will Sarah's Law mean everyone on the Sex Offenders Register has their name and address published?ANSWER: No. Nor will it mean names and photographs are put onto websites or signs put up outside people's houses. Only information about the most serious types of offender will be released, in writing, to those who are legitimately entitled to it, such as parents and carers who live in the local area. QUESTION: Won't Sarah's Law simply still create a wave of vigilante attacks?ANSWER: No. Access to information would be carefully controlled by the police and there would be severe penalties for those who abuse it. In America, which has a less strict scheme than the one proposed under Sarah's Law, the overall level of vigilante attacks is minor. Former head of Scotland Yards Paedophile Squad, Bob McLachlan says, Sarahs Law is about working with the public not against it. The community has to understand that vigilantism will not be tolerated under any circumstances, but NOT telling the public the truth about paedophiles in their midst can lead to paranoia, mistaken identity and violence. QUESTION: But hasn't there been a large number of murders in America where a similar scheme called Megans Law exists?ANSWER: No. There are known to have been two double murders in recent times but this is in a country with 550,000 sex offenders and five times the population of the UK. In both cases, the assailants had criminal histories of their own. They did not live in the area where they committed the attacks and they would not have been entitled to information under Sarah's Law, which would have stricter safeguards than Megans Law. QUESTION: Will Sarah's Law simply lead to paedophiles committing more crimes because it will drive them underground?ANSWER: No. The Home Office admits that the police and probation services cannot monitor the movements of all paedophiles at all times. So in fact paedophiles are ALREADY "underground". There are around 3000 child sex offences recorded every year in England and Wales - and this is just the tip of the iceberg, as most cases go unreported. An NSPCC study found that up to 11 per cent of children suffer some form of sexual abuse. Prof Alisdair Gillespie of Leicesters De Montfort University, an expert on Sex Offender Law, said, There is no evidence to suggest that Megans Law, in states where it is properly administered, has reduced levels of compliance. There is even anecdotal evidence from America to suggest a properly controlled law would give paedophiles LESS of a motive to go underground because it would reduce public hysteria against themQUESTION: But didn't a lynch mob once attack a doctor in the UK after confusing the word "paediatrician" with "paedophile? ANSWER: No. This is simply not true. What actually happened was that in August 2000 in Newport, Gwent, a youngster thought to be aged between 12 and 17, sprayed the word "paedo" on a consultant paediatrician's front door. She was not at home at the time and she was not hurt. Chief Inspector Andrew Adams of Gwent Police, the Liaison Officer in charge when news of this incident broke six years ago, says, There was no big mob. Nothing like that happened. I know because I was there and I was involved. The lady was not in her home when it happened. She came home from work to see her door daubed with anti-paedophile graffiti. QUESTION: But won't Sarah's Law interfere with the rehabilitation of paedophiles?ANSWER: No - they would still be free to take part in treatment programmes. However, most experts agree that paedophiles are actually incurable. Psychologists believe most paedophiles must suppress the urge to abuse every day. Det Supt Alan Ladley who identified Roy Whiting as the killer of Sarah Payne said, "Treatment can help paedophiles to control their urges, but we can never cure them.QUESTION: But doesn&..39;t most abuse occur within the home and therefore Sarah's Law would not prevent it?ANSWER: No. Whilst domestic abuse is more common than abuse by a total stranger, according to the NSPCC, abusers "are most likely to be known to the child but not a relative." This means that known people outside the family - who can include family friends or neighbours who have hidden their past - are the largest category of abuser. But even "stranger abuse" accounts for a significant proportion of abuse (about 20 per cent). In addition, many paedophiles commit multiple forms of abuse, so a domestic abuser can also go on to abuse other victims from outside the family.

Well finally, test runs are being set up to protect children from pedophiles, this year, the home office will run three pilot schemes, before being set up nationwide within the uk. Key points Parents can DEMAND to know if serial pedophiles live on their streets, on their children’s route to school and around their playgrounds. Single mums can find out if a new partner has a record and poses a risk School heads will be told of sexual predators living nearby. The pilots are expected to run for 3-6 months before a nationwide rollout. Single mums will be the first to benefit before the scheme is extended to all parents and head teachers.

I cannot believe some of the comments on here it beggars belief, no wonder we have a messed up society and so many dysfunctional people.

In America police release relevant and necessary information about moderate to high-risk sex offenders living in the community. The aim is to address public concerns and prevent the re-victimization of children by these registered offenders - so why the hell do we find it so difficult to do that in the UK?" _SarahWell thanks for the comment RADIO 's TREVOR NELSON.... we all know where you stand don’t we.... If someone interferes with your children or relative’s children, it may just be because you didn’t know that a pedophile was living next door to you and yours, and that Sarah’s law was not in place... your asking people to think about it when you haven’t thought about it yourself......... Have You........... _Ivalaalien Great idea and if it takes a song to get people involved in this debate so be it. This law would make an important step forward in the efforts to protect those who cannot protect themselves. We need to compound Sarah’s law with a UK version of Amber Alert and the Adam Walsh child protection act. This will then integrate the information of sex offenders register and ensure that the police and public have access to the same information across the country, helping prevent the most serious sex offenders from evading detection by moving or going underground. Well done for given people the chance to speak out on this long overdue law change. _Simon Great song - Great work - It is astonishing that anybody (other than those with ulterior motives) would find fault with Sarah's law. The US has benefited greatly from our version of this law. As much as one may complain about civil liberties, protecting our children easily outweighs these specious concerns. Keep up the good work and eventually we'll have all helped to make the world a safer place for our children. Carl_carl Mark, love this song and the production. Music is all about communication. And for all the haters who have said stupid comments like this isn't the place for that type of thing... go talk to the Dixie Chicks, Dylan, etc. you get the picture. This song should take it by storm. Thanks for standing up for what's right. Tammy Great song, its just a shame Sarah wasn’t here to listen to it x_keriEveryone,vote for the song, and sign petition for Sarah’s law. One of us can make the change, ALL OF US UNITED CAN MAKE THIS CHANGE HAPPEN. Do all you can. Samantha Samantha I have been on to the main site for this, and the site is truly special, check it out www.myspace.com/markscottone . The Payne family asked Mark to write the song to back up their campaign, so he is only doing what he has been asked to do and they tried to get someone famous in to sing it and could not so he had to step in and perform it, read the page, and the NSPCC support this if you check there page out they are all linked as top friends. Love. Sarah _Sarah ANYTHING that brings awareness to the general public about our children is a great thing. Great song, great cause, this song deserves every vote that it's received. Audrey This so has so much deep meaning, and also makes me aware why we need to protect children from disgusting predators. How important human life is, when I listen to the song, I cannot help but think about all children like Sarah who lives are taken from horrible people. Why it's important as a citizen to stand up and say no more. It's a beautiful song and thank you for sharing. Catherine_Catherine i back this 150% and the idea of the song is fab.

At first I was unsure of where this was going due to the subject matter, but after downloading and listening, I have to say this song is absolutely beautiful. I have it played in my car at home where it sounds so much better that on my laptop, its stunning, it’s truly a heartfelt song with so much meaning and my children and their friends love it and asked to hear it again and again it has a wonderful way of communicating. Keep up the fight. Beverley _B This song brought me to tears, it is fabulous meaningful touching song and your campaign has my full support. I have two young children myself, and my heart goes out to you. all the best xx_tina The song is very touching. I am trying to get the backing of some of my American friends. This law need's to be passed. Don’t these government’s realize how crucial this law is to our children. They are so stupid at times...they seem to bury there heads in the sand.... and hope it will go away...well it won't they need to get there act together and do something... luv Debbie xxx_debbie Beautiful touching song. I really like it, no matter what the critics say; so much more meaning than just a traditional song without much real meaning. critics would be singing a different tune if their child was harmed/kidnapped!! _Bethany THIS SONG IS FOR SARAH~~AND ALL THE OTHER POTENTIAL SARAH'S OUT THERE. WHAT BETTER WAY CAN WE SERVE OUR LORD, AND SEND OUR LOVE TO SARAH THAN SINGING?? THE LORD LOVES IT WHEN WE SING!! GOD LOVES THIS SONG, AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS. HE HAS HIS ANGELS HERE SINGING FOR HIM.

Mark your a fantastic man for fighting for this LAW we need here! As we NEED everywhere. These people should not get away with this there beyond scum..... I VOTE FOR THIS SONG TO BE BLASTED IN EVERY TV STATION ... IN EVERY ROOM GORDON BROWN ENTERS ... IN EVERY GOVERMENT'S HOME.... GOD BLESS YOU SARAH! _DJ_THUNDER

Influences:Many thanks for your comments and I take this opportunity of responding as follows The request for a song to be written came directly from the Payne family and obviously this was not something to be taken lightly. I could have refused but my instincts said to go ahead. The thought behind the request was to create a song which could be a memorial to young Sarah but which could also back up Sarah’s Law as a safety message for all children. It would also ensure donations were made to the charity Sara and Michael wanted. This was the brief I was given by the family. The next step was trying to find someone famous to sing the track and have it ready for the anniversary of Sarah’s tragic death, which was being broadcast on Sky News, BBC News and ITV News in five months. It was very difficult to find anyone as everybody who was spoken to endorsed it but no one wanted to take up the challenge due to the sensitive nature of the subject. Therefore I had to step in at the last minute after all other attempts to find someone had failed. I ended up performing the track live in what was a very moving and touching situation. The next idea was to write a more up tempo track with not so much sentiment in it but which would be more commercial and convey a similar message .I therefore wrote ‘A Song for our Children' ‘Goodbye’ and some very kind people made the video all voluntarily and can be heard on the My Space website. Having again found no one willing to sing the track and have exhausted the same rounds to record companies etc a website for Sarah was created with a link from the News of the World's website. During this time the uncle of Sarah Payne unfortunately became very ill and died but before he passed away he asked me to never give up the fight and to support his sister, Sara Payne's fight for changes in the Law, which I have and believe in strongly. The opportunity then arose for using the My Space website where we could keep backing up the campaign. People could send comments, sign the petition for Sarah’s Law and add the songs to their profiles read all latest success and is very informative etc. There have been many, many times that I have been left shaken as I hear about the most outrageous crimes to children. I won't go into them in detail but it’s the survivors and victims who send emails asking me and pleading with me not to stop as they feel that had this Law been in place sooner many more children would be a safe and in Sarah’s case alive. I receive messages from all over the world and its these that make me feel we are definitely doing the right thing. It's so much more than just a song, it's another way to get the message across and support Sara and her family's brave stance on this and keep the awareness building. The United States have been leading the world in this matter with Amber Alert - Megan ‘s Law and the latest success the Adam Walsh Law child protection and safety act. When I hear from the victims and survivors in the USA you know it works and they want it to work for us. If it saves one life and helps one child I feel that we have achieved so much and I and others have done all this voluntarily and this is my only way of backing Sara Payne and the News of the World campaign.
