Petition Tougher sentences for pedophiles and sharing images of child pornography
We want tougher sentences for pedophiles and the sharing and owning of images of porn a graphic material of children.
Children who suffer abuse are affected in the worst way possible. They don't get to do a sentence then it's all over, they are sentenced to life!
More details
We need to protect our children and break the cycle of abuse by harsh sentences and strict monitoring. At the moment pedophiles get short sentences and probation. This does not deter them from further abusing children. A child's innocence and trust is gone forever. Their veiw of the world and adults changes in that moment and they'll never ever really feel safe again. Our view of the world is shaped by our early experiences. 25 to Life imprisonment is the only solution to protect our children and stop abuse.
