CHANGE THE LAWS ON SEX CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The worst offence you can commit to any person is murder or sex offences on children, these acts will cause irreparable damage to the victims and will not give them any justice, any person who has committed such a heinous act on a child should be locked away for good.
They should be secured off in a separate prison as even these monsters are at risk in general public jails; the fact is the laws are way too lenient on sex offenders which is why vigilante paedophile hunters exist, they are the worst danger to OUR children and the fact drug laws carry longer sentences than sex acts or the possession of child porn is frankly incomprehensible, THE PUBLIC IS TIRED OF SEEING EVIL RELEASED BACK INTO OUR STREETS TO REOFFEND ON OUR CHILDREN AND IT NEEDS TO END.
