Petition Make domestic abuse punishments more severe.

1 in 5 children in the UK have witnessed domestic abuse, this can psychologically torment and haunt these young, innocent, minds. With more support from the government we could make the punishment more severe to make people thing twice before they partake in this disgusting crime.
