Rejected petition Change the sentencing for peodophillia to life imprisonment.

Drug dealers get longer than paedophiles, how does that makes sence. These are young children that these horrible people are targeting. A slap on the wrist is what they get . Few months there back out on the street praying on young children again! Something needs to be done it surely isn't right.

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 life imprisonment.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government and Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking to increase sentences for people convicted of sexual offences against children, if that’s what you’d like to happen.

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