Rejected petition Review Law and Punishment of Child Abuse
I request Government to immediately review Law and Punishment around Child Abuse.
Mentally killing somebody should be equally punishable as physically killing somebody.
More details
It takes a lot of time and effort as well as resources of our authorities to catch such criminals. Often it effects the mental health of our officers to go through evidence to bring these criminals to justice.
I request Parliament to look into stricter punishment for such crimes to not only to make our officers feel rewarded with their hard work but also make these criminals think 10 time before committing such crimes.
