Petition Compulsory jail sentences for the possession of pornographic images of children

I can imagine everyone with young children in their lives would do anything and everything to protect them, just as I would my young brothers. However, the leniency and attitude criminal courts have began to display towards those who exploit our children for their own sexual thrill has disturbed me.

More details

I am calling for all those, with/without a record or pleads/is found guilty of possessing indecent images, to be sent to jail. Regardless of displayed remorse, paedophiles are becoming more and more of a problem. With the digital age modernising the world at an immense pace, paedophiles will find it easier to anonymise themselves - when, the truth is, they need punishment and rehabilitation.
