GIVE HARSHER SENTENCES TO PERPETRATORS OF CHILD ABUSE (PHYSICALLY AND ONLINE)
Create a minimum custodial sentence for first time offenders (The USA currently gives 5 years) Give longer sentences to re-offenders. Scrap suspended sentences for offenders, ensuring all serve time.
Survivors of child abuse have the most horrendous stories which follow them into adulthood. This causes a number of difficulties for many, but still the perpetrators of these heinous crimes more often than not receive short-term to suspended sentences. This has to stop, the punishment must fit the crime. Please sign to show the children we will continue to fight for them.
By Predator Exposure for the many teams who work tirelessly and also want the same thing.
