What the petition asks

Legally STOP handing out Suspended Sentences to CONVICTED paedophiles, this is to protect the children online. you would not allow a serial killer to be on a suspended sentence so why should the people who murder our children's souls and affect their lives be allowed freedom

Children are affected DAILY by online groomers and those who identify as "Minor Attracted People" (MAP's), it is my belief that IF these people COMMIT THE CRIME and are CONVICTED of it in a court of law then they should receive a CUSTODIAL Sentence WITHOUT THE CHANCE of a Suspended Sentence, if you wouldn't allow a serial killer to walk free on a Suspended sentence after conviction, why should a child abuser? are children's lives LESS important then the CONVICTED abusers?
