Closed Stronger sentences for online abuse, and fund mental health support

Closed on

The Government should increase sentences for online abuse, including gaslighting and catfishing. They should also fund more mental health support for victims, and for those who work with vulnerable people including the police, social workers, charity workers, and emergency services.

I am fighting for a Law called ‘Gem’s Law’ to help reduce job anxiety/overall anxiety on social media platforms and more people are heard and kept at peace. I want people to feel listened to, be able to be themselves online therefore people do not feel the need to scam/fraud, preventing catfishing/victim numbers from soaring. I want to fight for Freedom and Human Rights to impact people’s mental health for the better.
