Rejected petition Help all children under the age of 18 feel safe.

I would like the government to reverse the new two tier criminal rule. If you have committed a crime, it should not matter what race, religion etc that you are, the punishment should be the same for everyone that commits the offence.

More details

Because common sense seems to have disappeared in recent times.
The UNCRC clearly states that all children under the age of 18 have a right to feel safe.
I feel very strongly that children's rights are not being heard, valued or promoted, especially if a person from an ethnic minority ( who commits a crime against a child) is then given a softer approach by police. A crime is a crime, regardless of anything else and the punishment should be the same for everybody.
