Rejected petition Bring in death penalty for pedophiles.

Child molesters need removing from this world. They cause physical and mental harm to our most vulnerable members of society. Everyday children are being abused, groomed and violated. Why waste government money on providing them free food and board in prisons. They ruin lives for life.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The term "paedophile" is used to describe people who have been convicted of a variety of different criminal offences. We're not sure which crimes you would like to be punishable by the death penalty.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
