Harsher sentences for sex offenders against children.

Petition Details

We want harsher punishments for sex offenders against children to ensure justice for victims and community safety. Implement stricter minimum custodial sentences, end early release and enforce stronger monitoring after release.

Additional Information

Due to the current minimum terms are not good enough. People who abuse children are getting suspended sentences and its disgraceful! They is no justice for victims after they have their life destroyed and the sex offenders get to walk away free.
