Closed petition Minimum sentence of 30 years in prison for minors who commit premeditated murder

Minors who kill other children may be able to leave prison and live their lives after 12 years, but what about the family of the murdered victim - they can't just start their life again. I believe stricter sentences would be a stronger deterrent.

More details

My brother Rikki Neave was killed at the age of six by a 13yr old who was sentenced to a minimum of1 5 years in prison. We think minors who commit premeditated murder should serve 30 years minimum, we don't get our loved ones back so why do perpetrators get a new life when they come out we can't start a new one we have to live with their actions. The pain never goes away and life doesn't change for us.
