Closed petition Life sentence for abuse, torture, rape or allowing the death of a child

Make the minimum sentence for anyone who abuses, tortures, rapes or allows the death of a child a life sentence!

More details

We believe sentences for these horrific crimes are often far too lenient! It's disgusting that these evil people can get off so lightly for heinous crimes! There must be justice for what children have endured at the hands of these monsters! We believe people guilty of these offences deserve life imprisonment and no less.

It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

The petitions site is closed.
