Make theft of baby photos and scans illegal.
So many people I know have had their photos and scan stolen and used by fake accounts. These accounts claim the child/children are there's. These photos include baby bumps, scan and pictures of children who are still alive but also have sadly passed away. It is a vile "crime" and should be illegal.
This happens on a regular occasion and some of these accounts are giving out threats towards mothers and family's who have spoken out towards these individuals. I believe this act is should be illegal as it affects so many, some of which are sadly grieving due to the loss of their beautiful children. The theft of these photos alone are enough to cause, and are enough to cause heartache and pain to families and I feel this is a breach to confidentiality. Mothers should not have to water mark their images in fear of someone stealing their photos.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
It is already against the law for someone to use an image without permission if they are not the copyright holder. We're therefore not sure what you would like the Government or Parliament to change.

If you would like the law to be changed, you could start a new petition explaining the specific change you would like to see.
