Petition Longer/ harsher sentences for pedophiles

The sentences that pedophiles and child abusers get given is a joke. They ruin peoples life's . The child and the family of the children get given a life sentence. Its a joke to think that someone can violate a child in the worse way possible and get just a slap on the wrist and think nothing of it

More details

These sick people just carry on with their lives while the people that are abused never get over it no matter how hard they try. To think some people get a 10 to 12 month sentence for this crime. They need a minimum of 10 years make it a real punishment for a real crime.
