What the petition asks
I think it’s wrong that paedeophiles are let back into the community to be free to walk the streets. It’s likely that they will reoffend if they’re in an area circulated by families with children. It’s no justice for victims to have the offender let back into same area victim lives .
Children suffer from nightmares about the offender coming to get them, to live in fear knowing they’re still in the same area .
What justice is it to re allow the offender back into the community to re offend ?
I think the system is so wrong to allow these type of people to walk the streets when they should be in prison.
