We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee

Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Rejected petition Make tougher laws on anyone abusing children regardless of profession

Make new laws safeguarding children, protect them from sexual predictors, regardless of persons profession, disability & religion.
Stronger charges for grooming offences, no identity protection, no more reduced sentences, no more suspended sentences, and no more rehabilitation.

More details

Too many children have suffered at the hands of abusers, the system is failing every single child in preventing the abuse, bringing justice and supporting innocence. Children are vulnerable and need protecting, faith in the system is at an all time low, victims past and present watch their abusers go on to reoffend, or walk away with no punnishment at all for crime commited. Please help to protect children, give them a safer, brighter future, by making tougher laws!
