Petition

Bring back the death sentence for sexual crimes against children

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Child Sexual abuse is prevalent in our society and is the number one cause of suffering and mental health decline. I believe, and I say this knowing that the good people of Britain will agree, that convicted pedophiles and those convicted of any sexual crimes against children should be put too death
I write this as a concerned citizen, to those in charge as a plea to help save British society, for all people of every race and kin to come together against the true evil in our society and abolish it from this great country. Since the death penalty was abolished science has come far enough to indefinitely prove whether someone is or is not in fact guilty of these crimes and believe if someone is charged with this immoral heinous act they should be erased from our society.
