On a daily basis I read at least 3 or 4 stories via social media that someone has been let off for abusing a child or downloading files of child abuse how and why are people being let off because they wouldn't cope in jail or have a disability CHILD ABUSE ISNT OK IT'S WRONG AND NEED DEALING WITH

More details

All child abuse or downloading files that have child abuse should be dealt with instead or people being let off because the judge thinks he or she would be able to cope well in jail because of what he or she has done STRONGER JAIL TIMES NEED TO BE IN PLACE FOR THIS HORRIBLE CRIME ABUSING A CHILD OR HAVING FILES OR SHARING FILES OF CHILD ABUSE IS NOT OK AND IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH WITH THE TOUGHEST OUTCOME TO STOP CHILDREN BEING ABUSED
