We, the undersigned, are all appalled and disgusted at the 6 month sentence that was receive in criminal matter 04721/2012 for the abuse of an 8 year old child. We wish for the Director of Public Prosecution to appeal this decision of Chief Magistrate Nova Hall.

Also, we support the elected Members of the Legislative Assembly and the current Progressive's government to implement minimum sentences for such offences.

FINALLY we would like the government to implement a facility or recruit a mental health professional that can provide specialized counseling for child sexual abuse survivors so that they may enter the road to recovery.

Please send this link to your contacts right now to help us gain the momentum we need before we present these names. We have to keep this pressure on until the system realizes that six months is never enough.

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred gives me hope that people actually care about protecting our children from these light sentences. Please send this link to your family and friends right now so we can hit that mark before our meeting with the officials.
