Closed Mandatory whole life sentences for child abuse that leads to the child's death

Closed on

We want to see the Government require whole life sentences for individuals found guilty of child abuse that leads to the child's death.

There have been too many cases of child abuse which has ended with the child's death, and offenders are often sentenced too leniently.

The type of people that carry out these attacks should never be released. They should pay for their crimes by spending their whole life in prison
