Agreed, and perhaps that's why there seems to be deliberate obfuscation
regarding the precise nature of the people you can request information
about (although some reports have talked about focussing on "new
boyfriends", presumably of single mothers[1]).
It's nothing like the USA model of giving out the names and addresses of
all the local offenders. This is the point where I traditionally post
this picture from a USA newspaper:

[1] Indeed, I have met child protection activists who claim that single
mothers should be barred from dating sites because "we all know what the
men they meet there are really looking for".
