Stronger sentences for paedophilia.

Closed 107 signatures

What the petition asks

we're looking into making it law that individuals who commit paedophilia & are found guilty are not allowed to live within a radius of 1000 feet of a school or playground. Due to a recent conviction of a paedophile who lives very close to a primary school in a residential area.
Due to a recent conviction of a paedophile who lives very close to a primary school in a residential area. Who got a incredibly light sentence of 8 months suspended over 2 years for viewing images and videos of children from babies upwards. In America it is law that any convicted sex offender is not to live within 1000 feet of a school we feel this should aslo be a law in the UK.
