This petition was submitted during the 2019 to 2024 Parliament
Rejected petition Sexual Predator hunting teams be regulated and paid.
Rejected on
To have a budget for Sexual Predator Hunting Teams to be regulated and paid to work alongside police to ensure the right justice for the victims. All teams do this out of their own pockets and keeping children safe, and the Predators aren't given a proper sentence
Because it would greatly reduce the number of 'Vigilante Groups' as it would be a paid job with an application and screening process. Having it as a job would also lead to strict adherence to the law.
Having this as a job would also be a good deterrent to Predators.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The police are already responsible for investigating and apprehending offenders.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, such as increase funding for the policing of child sexual abuse.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
