Tougher sentences and lifetime registration for paedophiles

What the petition asks
I was a victim of abuse. They served only 4 years but victims suffer for a lifetime and can harm themselves. I’ve undergone psychotherapy as a result of this.
The Government should make sure that paedophiles receive harsher sentences, and if released should spend the rest of their life on the sex offenders register.
