Review current sentencing under the sexual offences act 2003, increasing sentences to life imprisonment, minimum of 30yrs with no parole after two thirds of a served sentence as is currently the case, and whole life orders for any offender who commits murder against a child always.

More details

We the people of the United Kingdom, the victims, the families of those that have suffered these heinous crimes against them have had enough, we demand that something is done to deter these perpetrators from committing these crimes against innocent children and destroying their lives, it is the duty of our government and Parliament to protect our children and impose these sentences against those who wish to abuse rape and murder our children. No leniency should be shown.
