Petition Heavier prison scentences for pedophiles and rapists.

I firmly believe that the scentences handed out to pedophiles and rapists are far to lenient.When someone commits a crime against a child or rapes a person they are as good as murdering who that person once was

More details

Anyone who has been raped or abused will tell you they will never be the same again...in essence the person they once were is now dead...children who are abused have their childhood stolen from them..the perpetrators of such unspeakble acts deserve to be punished severly and the victims at the very least deserve the justice that harsher scentences would bring
