The kidnapping and brutal murder of the eight-year-old boy in Fier diverted the attention to crimes against minors.<\/p>\n

Euronews Albania learned that this year, there were 162 complaints linked to offenses involving children.<\/p>\n

But law enforcement authorities worry that the figure is much higher than what is actually being reported.<\/p>\n

The majority of these offenders suffer from mental health problems or have a history of drug or alcohol abuse.<\/p>\n

Also, many of them are not first-time offenders, just like the case of Klodian Calamani, the man who admitted to having killed and then buried in his backyard the eight-year-old boy in Fier.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old stay spent four years in prison in 2006, after taking hostage a minor. Despite serving time in prison, Calamani not only wasn\u2019t rehabilitated but continued to remain a threat to society.<\/p>\n

MPs are now deliberating to create a registry for convicted sex offenders which would make it easier and faster to identify them.<\/p>\n

The practice is applied in several EU countries with the aim of identifying and possessing the personal data of every convicted felon in this category.<\/p>\n

The case was brought to the attention of policymakers as at present there is around 100 child sex who have been released, after doing prison time.<\/p>\n
