Coral and Paul Jones’ life was changed forever when they faced the trauma of losing their daughter, 5-year-old April Jones, over 2 years ago in their hometown of Machynlleth, Wales.
The family hit the headlines when April was snatched in October 2012, and less than a week later paedophile Mark Bridger was arrested and charged with her abduction and murder.
He was found guilty on May 30 2013 and sentenced to life in prison.
April’s parents feel that their daughter’s death could have been avoided if Bridger had sought help for his dangerous urges before acting on them.
Paul told the BBC: “If you have got the notion that you like kids like that or anything like that, if you go and ask for help then you deserve a chance. But if you don’t ask for help and you commit a crime then you are a paedophile.”
April’s big sister Jasmine, 19, revealed that the family were still struggling with day-to-day life following April’s horrific murder.
She explained: “One day I could be really happy and Dad could be really upset and we would argue, we would shout at each other. We would want to hit someone or something just to get the anger out.”
Meanwhile Paedophile Hunter Stinson Hunter has told Closer that he's suprised by Paul and Coral's views considering the nature of their daughter's tragic death, but that he also thinks more should be done to prevent paedophiles from offending in the first place.
He explained: "I think the more we understand the better chance we have of stopping offending, and ultimately stopping people creating more victims.
"Things need to change and support should be there - but also there needs to be guidelines. There needs to be something that if one of these people admits to offending that they are dealt with, it cannot be used by paedophiles to come in, offload their guilt then go back to offending.
"I think with more support we might learn more about why these people offend and how we can prevent/stop it happening in the future."
Do you agree - should more be done to help paedophiles and stop them from committing crimes in the first place?
