convicted child molesters get life in prison and drug dealers get less sentence

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I want you to stop convicting child molesters to 10 years in prison and give them life instead of giving drug dealers life in prison and not 10 years
because the system is broken how does it make sense a convicted child molester gets 10 years and a drug dealer gets life it makes no sense. Molesters are impacting and scaring people not to their consent drug dealers are giving drugs at peoples consent no
