Closed petition Clarify the law regarding domestic violence against 16-18 year olds
Closed on
Currently 16-18 year olds cannot be victims of domestic violence or child abuse as they are between the ages for either. There needs to be a clarification put in place by the government so that the law can convict abusers of domestic violence and not just common assault.
