What the petition asks
Infant Sexual Abuse causes lifelong complex PTSD. It manifests in physiological, neurological, mental, relational & social dysfunction in the survivor’s identity. Sexual abuse of a child aged six or under should be a separate criminal offence with similar sentences to murder.
- everyone convicted of ISA should be given a life sentence with a minimum term set by a judge.
