Compulsory jail sentences for the possession of pornographic images of children

Closed 44 signatures

What the petition asks

I can imagine everyone with young children in their lives would do anything and everything to protect them, just as I would my young brothers. However, the leniency and attitude criminal courts have began to display towards those who exploit our children for their own sexual thrill has disturbed me.

I am calling for all those, with/without a record or pleads/is found guilty of possessing indecent images, to be sent to jail. Regardless of displayed remorse, paedophiles are becoming more and more of a problem. With the digital age modernising the world at an immense pace, paedophiles will find it easier to anonymise themselves - when, the truth is, they need punishment and rehabilitation.
