Three brothers attacked by a paedophile who changed his identity to hide his 24 child abuse convictions today admitted that they are 'glad' he is dead after their mother killed him to protect them.
Sarah Sands drank two bottles of wine and went to the home of Michael Pleasted, 77, in a neighbouring block of flats in east and stabbed him eight times in 2014.
Her brave sons have all turned 18 and waived their right to anonymity to support their single mother, who is out of prison after four years and now campaigning for a tightening of the rules on sex offenders being allowed to change their names.
One of her boys, Bradley, admitted that he had immediately thought 'hats off' to her when he learned she had stabbed Pleasted to death. His twin siblings said they felt 'safer' after he was killed. Reece, then aged 11, said it was 'nice knowing that he was dead'.
In an extraordinary new BBC documentary, called Killing My Children's Abuser, the boys were asked if they were happy Pleasted had died.
They replied immediately, and in unison: 'Oh yeah, definitely'.
Reece added: 'What were they doing letting him out on bail? What would make you think that he's not going to think: "I know I'm going to get caught. I know I'm going to do time. Let me get four or five more kids".'
The mother of five was also filmed sobbing outside the flat where she stabbed her victim, saying: 'He took everything from me. Still to this day there are no words to describe how it eats you up from the inside.
He ripped my family apart.
'He ruined my life and he tried to take away the most precious thing in my life. Those babies, they are not going to wake up one day and this hasn't happened. I'm never going to be able to take it away from them when they're screaming in the night.
'I couldn't tell them it was a dream - because it wasn't - he was our living nightmare.
It eats me away at me because they're my babies. I'd give my life for them'.
Pleasted had abused three of her children and other young boys on the estate and had already been convicted for three decades of child abuse offences including 24 convictions.
A legal loophole allows registered sex offenders to change their name by deed poll. The ploy can help individuals get a new driving licence and passport and even a new, clean, DBS criminal record check to allow them access to children, Labour MP Sarah Champion has warned.
