Harsher Sentences for Sex Offenders, Child Molesters and Pedophiles

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I want you to protect our people especially for them who are the most vulnerable, I want you to change the system. So pedophiles, sex offenders, and child molesters get a lot longer sentence. To not dismiss any case, justice needs to be served.
The law needs to be changed, we need to protect our children and people who are the most vulnerable. The damage is life for victims, the punishments need to be harsher. Please protect us, and change the sentences. There should be a minimum sentence put in place, that all offenders get when reported to the police. Help the survivors !
