Make sexual communication with a child illegal for 16 and 17 year olds
If a 16 or 17 year old is communicating with someone under the age of consent for sexual gratification, they are not guilty of the same offence as someone aged 18 or over. I want this to be changed so 16/17 year olds can be charged of sexual communication with a child.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
