Maximum sentencing for criminals who are convicted of abusing a child.
A child can be mentally destroyed inside after receiving abuse. Someone's childhood is completely ruined due to child abuse. Someone who has abused a child should have an maximum sentencing as they have ruined 10 or more of someone's childhood.
This is a news story about a doctor who abused 18 boys and then received a reduced sentence:
"A Children's doctor who abused 18 boys in his care at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, has had his jail sentence reduced by the Court of Appeal.
Myles Bradbury, from Suffolk, who was originally sentenced to 22 years in jail, will now serve 16 years."

We cannot allow wicked people like this to bypass the justice system to receive a lower sentencing. They must face the maximum sentence for the evil crime.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Specific decisions on sentencing are the responsibility of the courts.
You could start a petition calling on Parliament to increase the minimum sentence for child abuse. You might want to specify what sentence you would like to see.
