Closed Harsher punishments for sex offenders and bans near schools

Closed on

We urge the government to enforce harsher penalties for sex offenders, including longer sentences, mandatory rehab, and a ban on living near schools or child-centric areas.

We urge the government to enact stronger laws to protect children and communities. This includes harsher penalties for sex offenders, residence bans near schools and child areas, and swift prosecution. We think these actions will deter offenders, protect vulnerable individuals, and ensure justice is served quickly. We think it's time to prioritize safety and take firm action against sex offenses to create safer environments for all.
