    "That's a terrible comparison.". ....... do you mean that it destroys the argument put by CI? Yes, it does.

    its sheer hypocrisy of the highest order to claim innocent until proven guilty for Porter and demand that Police shame Flowers publicly before he has even been fully investigated.

    details of Flowers motivation for stealing the little girl are yet to be revealed, but at first glance, with his massive collection of dolls and his Facebook profile, it seems to suggest a deep-seated pathology which might be construed as depriving him of reasonable insight and so provide him with a mental illness and reduced responsibility defence. --- or he could be a serious paedophile involved in grooming little girls.

    the point is we don't yet know if he is "guilty" and so it would be inappropriate to "shame him" - at least before he is found guilty.
