At the moment the average time served for child rapists is10-15 years. As we know pedophilia can’t be cured so when person comes out of prison they are very likely to commit similar offence again(38% reoffend within a year)
It means that 23000 children will be sexually assaulted within a year

More details

The government should do something meaningful about it and truely protect our children. They are the future of this nation . Child predators should be either chemically castated of serve live in prison without parole.
