Rejected petition Make Sociological, Pathological Narcissistic Emotional Abuse A Crime & Offence

To stop and punish narcissistic emotional perpetrators from psychologically abusing victims through financial abuse, fake love bombing, manipulation, gaslighting, humiliation, isolation, devaluing, silencing, controlling, threats and actual physical violence, destroying people and their sanity.

More details

To acknowledge the seriousness of psychological emotional abuse against people globally. It’s silent abuse and is not wholly recognised or dealt with seriously or effectively. From personal experiences it can derail & dehumanise people from feeling valued and worthy. It impacts physical and mental health destroying people.People have lost their voices to stand up for themselves while the perpetrator gets away with it and continues to perform such behaviour on new victims. It’s an endless cycle.
