What the petition asks
To make harsher longer sentences to life sentences with no early release, no protection, no changing of names for abusers, pedophiles, rapists or other sexual predators
A life sentence should be the minimum for these offences, once someone has been abused, the person they would have been dies, being abused is a life sentence to victims mentally, there for the abuser should be given a life sentence, they have in affect killed the potential person that could have been, studies also show that children that have been abused grow up to become abusers (its all they've known) stop this horrendous cycle protect our children, women, and vulnerable people
