Rejected petition Child abuse images / videos should be treated as seriously as the crime itself
I am absolutely horrified at how many paedophiles live amongst our children , the knowlege of paedophiles amongst us should be freely available so we can protect our children and offenders should have no anomity
More details
The downloading of images should be treated as seriously as if they had comitted the heinous crime themself. The punishment for these crimes should be much harsher than the guidelines, life sentances with no parole . The Dark web should become ilegal to access and more money should be spent on stopping tge awful crimes running through the veins of internet access.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because this would be the responsibility of the police and courts and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling for mandatory minimum sentences for people who posses child abuse images if that's something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
