What the petition asks
Tougher sentences for pedophiles Sharing and/or making indecent images of children and those physically sexually abusing children. This should include 25 years to a life sentence for the most serious crimes against children. And minimum of 10 years for exploiting children via images.
I feel that pedophiles don’t get the appropriate sentences for their crimes and many of them upon release reoffend.
Children need to be protected from these monsters.
