Alas, even after subscribing to Change.org
Sent letter to [currently determining recipients] ~ they don't seem to know Australian politicians.

Noted with thanks Cher. This makes me appreciate Care2 so much.

I hope that all that commit these horrific crimes against children or against anyone for that matter gets the max in jail, but the courts are so corrupt who knows what is what anymore. I hope all that are accused of crimes gets a fair day in court that way we get the right person serving time in jail. Then they can rot in jail! Make sure to sign petitions against corruption in the courts.

Change change change, stiffest crimes like this need to be dealt with in the harshest way... They literally take away the life of a child, when they are molested in that way.

And I'm sure that # is even higher since not every case of child abuse gets reported, or even acted upon & our children endure so much horror & pain growing up,,,,abd this is in America! What is worse, is to add the children around the world to this mix! The #'s are staggering!
