Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
pedophiles to be locked away for a long long time including this who have images of children receiving abuse
Because pedophiles are the worst kind of criminal on the planet and the families and victims of the crimes are not being justified at all by the pathetic sentences the judges are handing out to people who are abusing innocent children
