Sarah's Law for the Uk!
Petition published by Matt Clark on Oct 04, 2000
| 406 Signatures |
Target: Members of the House of Commons
Region: United Kingdom
Petition Background (Preamble):
Parents have THE RIGHT to know about child sex offenders living in their neighbourhood. However the government has now backed away from introducing a US-style "Megan's law" into Britain. The home office minister Paul Boateng made clear that a public right to names and addresses is not likely to be made available. Isn't it about time to put needs of of children before the needs of convicted sex offenders?
Petition:
To the Members of the House of Commons: We the undersigned petition that the safety and welfare of Britain's children are given priority over the anonymity of convicted sex offenders. We ask that a US-style "Megan's law" be passed in Britian. To protect our children from these monsters.
