A minimum of 10 years prison sentence for convicted peadofiles.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A minimum prison sentence of 10 years should be given to any peadofile under any circumstances. 1,2,3,4 years isnt enough for ruining and violating a childs life.
After seeing a prison sentence of 4 years given to a man for molestering a child, its about time british citizens made the streets of our country safer for children, 4 years doesnt compare to the rest of a life ruined of an innocent child. Lets make a change.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure which offences you want to attract a minimum sentence of ten years.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
