PETITION: Strengthen Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Child Abusers
PETITION: Strengthen Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Child Abusers
We ask the Federal government to increase the offense level for all child related crimes and to help us raise awareness of this growing epidemic spreading across our country. We are planning a march to Washington DC April 22, 2013 and we would like the President to march with us to raise awareness about child abuse.
Signatures needed by January 25, 2013 to reach goal of 25,000: 22,118
By the time you finish reading this, 15 children will have been abused; In the next five minutes, 30 more; Within the next hour, 360 more; And by tonight, close to 8,000+ children will have suffered from abuse, 5 of which will die. Child abuse has increased 134% since 1980 and is now considered a worldwide epidemic. The high jump in child abuse deaths and the shocking increase in statistics highlights the frightening lack of public knowledge.
