Make all peadophile and child abuse crime sentencing severe.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

There are many outrageous cases of child abuse and peadophilia that result in poor sentencing that causes distress to victims and the public. Crimes against children affect all of society and are a literal life sentence for survivors. Having greater penalties for financial crime is so wrong.
Alison Whateley was a nursery School manager who watched live videos of children as young as 3 being raped and egged on the rapists as well as watching other obscene materials, was given a community order and allowed to walk free.

Christopher Daniel, aged 18, was found guilty of abusing a 6 year old girl but was let off serving any time or being put on a sex offenders register as it might 'damage his career'.

Having the bravery to speak out as a child is hard and sentencing is usually unfit.
