More details
Too many cases you see social workers trafficking children
Police are kidnapping and doing wrong to normal people and because they are in power it gets brushed under the carpet
Anyone who lies and is proven lieing should get treated like me and you not let off because they are in power

Why was this petition rejected?
We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
We understand that you are concerned about misconduct by public bodies including the police and social services, but we think what you want is already covered by existing offences.
Misconduct by public offices are already a criminal offence, and the Crown Prosecution Service already has the power to bring charges for this offence. Charges can be brought whether or not a public officers has resigned their post, but decisions about whether to bring charges would be a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service, and not the Government or House of Commons.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
