Revoke the right for pedophiles and sex offenders to change their name
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
I want pedophiles and sex offenders to no longer be able to change their names as it gives them access to new life’s without a criminal background which lets them directly back into schools and care homes for them to re-offend
Because it is disgusting that they are allowed brand new lives when other non-violent criminals have to be judged their entire lives
