Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call on the U.S. Senate and House of Representative to pass a comprehensive Federal Law that would protect children from Child Abuse and would put more restrictive measures on those agencies whose job it is to protect children.
In addition, we propose that further background checks be made on any childcare provider to ensure that they meet the qualifications to have children in their care.
Finally, the following MANDATORY SENTENCES should be applied for anyone found guilty of abusing a child:
*Minimum 10 years for serious injury to a child; no chance of parole
*25 year-life for for injury to a child that results in death of child; no chance for parole.
