Make mental abuse and bullying illegal now!!!
The impact of mental abuse is profound, long term and increasingly costly and damaging to individuals, organisations, society and the economy. Some estimates £100bn p.a. in the UK.
There are laws protecting us from physical but not mental abuse, which is often more hidden, costly and devastating to remedy. This is reaching epidemic proportions which society desperately needs to address if we are all to thrive, live valuable and meaningful lives and do unto others as we would wish done unto us.
We can no longer afford to simply turn away, do nothing and allow evil to flourish. Please will you help to make this a better world for all and sign and forward this petition now!!!

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
There are already a number of offences relating to causing alarm or distress, but we have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Make bullying a specific criminal offence: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/582794
We could accept a petition calling for other behaviours to be made a specific criminal offence, but it's not clear exactly what you mean by "mental abuse".
