Inquiries into rape, abuse and systematic grooming of children be independent

Closed 205 signatures

What the petition asks

For at least forty five years, in many of our cities and towns, rape and sexual abuse of children has been ongoing and systematic. Regular reports have been made to all official capacities in those places without effect or action taken by them. It is not felt internal inquiry would be efficacious
In addition to the inquiry committee being fully independent, the panel should comprise of at least four of the affected parents from each city and town and in a fully paid participant capacity for the duration of the inquiry.

That those parents be rotated each week and afforded FULL police security before, during and after inquiries as necessary.

That employers consider any time away from jobs in the same way as Jury Duty
