Rejected petition prosecution for parents who allow Female genital mutilation in this country

Rejected on 9 March 2017

I feel that despite being of a different culture,people living in the UK should be made to follow English Law, it is prejudice if only a certain part of society has laws to conform to , 1,200 cases have been reported in the last 3 months, .Child abuse is being, allowed

NSPCC estimate 137,000 cases in uk who knows how many more we need the law to be upheld there is no basis for this abuse in religion
