Closed petition Tougher sentences for shaken baby deaths
Closed on
We would like the government to change the law so that people of any age who are convicted of shaking a baby to death receive tougher sentences. They should not be entitled to a reduction in their sentence for pleading guilty at any opportunity.
I would like the government to bring in a law in memory of my child after they were sadly a victim of this crime and I don't believe justice has been served or remorse has been shown.
