Rejected petition The punishment for rape/sexual assault against children to be the death penalty.

Today's headlines seem to be filled with heartbreaking stories of the most heinous acts committed against the young and defenceless. Ordinary members of the public have now begun forming their own network of 'pedophile hunters' in a bid to catch these monsters to prevent these horrific crimes.

More details

As an act of punishment as well as a deterrent to those intending on committing these offences, the public proposes that the penalty for those undoubtedly convicted of rape and or sexual assault against a minor, be death. It is the publics belief that these perpetrators forfeit their human rights when they disregard their victims.
