ZOE PARSONS/DAVID FARRELLY immediately as I believe it to be unreasonably low

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A statement written by the child’s full-time carer which described the difficulties the child now faces because of her injuries was read out to the court.
It said: “She has difficulty getting out of bed in the morning. She will try herself but often falls out.

“She is unable to get dressed or undressed due to weakness in her hands.
“She does not have the strength or grip to do everyday things and due to the weakness she has to wear splints on both arms.
“There is also concern her fingers could turn inwards and close in on themselves.
The gap between the child’s skull and her brain is 15cm"
sustained a bleed to the brain and 14 broken ribs.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government or Parliament can't change a sentence. Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.

Anyone can ask the Attorney General to review a sentence they think is too low, and only one person needs to ask for a sentence to be reviewed. You can find out how to do that here:
