The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not exactly sure what you mean by "raise or put in place the minimum sentence." The offence of sexual communication with a child (which could include online grooming) currently has a maximum sentence of 2 years, and no minimum sentence. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to introduce a specific minimum sentence and raise the maximum sentence, if that's what you want to happen.
