What the petition asks
Make the minimum sentence for anyone who abuses, tortures, rapes or allows the death of a child a life sentence!
We believe sentences for these horrific crimes are often far too lenient! It's disgusting that these evil people can get off so lightly for heinous crimes! There must be justice for what children have endured at the hands of these monsters! We believe people guilty of these offences deserve life imprisonment and no less.
