Closed Make it a Criminal Offence to not call 999 or seek help when someone needs help

Closed on

If a Compos Mentis person does not seek help or call 999 when a person is dying or having a Medical Emergency in their company this should be a Criminal Offence. We believe this is Morally and Ethically wrong and it should be made Criminally Wrong.

This petition is not calling for anyone to be required to intervene physically or medically to save someone's life, but simply phone the emergency services or if that's not possible seek for help from someone else who can.
