Rejected petition Longer sentencing for paedophiles and child abusers.

Offenders should be incarcerated for no less time than 12 years, anyone found to have pictures and/ or videos of child abuse should serve no less time than 10 years and those who are repeat offenders should receive no less time than 25 years.

More details

We believe that the current sentencing for paedophiles and child abusers is way too lenient and call for tougher sentencing, they are simply getting away with their crimes. Please show your support, sign and share this petition. Help us make a change for a safer and brighter future.
