Change the Criminal justice system - life to mean life for dangerous criminals.

What the petition asks
Over my life time many children have been murdered, and their murderers sentences do not seem to fit the crime, life should mean life for criminals that pose ANY danger to the public, taking a life should be reflected in the sentence and they should never have the privellege of freedom in society.
I am starting this petition, in memory of every child who has been murdered, for every family who lost a child, in memory of Caroline Hogg, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, Suzanne Capper, Jamie Bulger, Sarah Payne, Tia Sharpe, April Jones, Naomi Smith, Morgan Hehir, Kayleigh Haywood and to give hope to parents all over the UK. Do not let these childrens deaths be in vain.
