Ban the sale of over the counter drugs such as paracetamol to children.

What the petition asks
It is crazy that children are allowed to purchase over the counter drugs. We urgently need a ban on sales to minors. Children can buy drugs, such as paracetamol, unbeknown to their parents.
Some children are depressed and parents may need to take stringent precautions to keep them away from medication to keep them safe.
