We, the undersigned individuals, hereby request that the Cayman Islands Government do the following:
1. Implement comprehensive child abuse legislation that puts the interest and safety of our children as paramount;
2. Implement Sex Offender's Legislation that would include a provision for a government operated sex offender's database/website that includes photos and relevant details of ALL sex offenders that are convicted in a court of law;
3. Mandate reporting of sexual offences against children ("mandatory reporting") by the public to the authorities;
4. Mandate longer sentences for offenders;
5. Consider a minimum sentence for such offences;
6. Legislate that offenders provide current addresses and updated photos to the police and failure to do so would be a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment; and
7. Work with international agencies to make sure that all visitors/residents are subjected to both domestic and international policing and checks
Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it reminds me how many people feel the same fear for their families. It is exhausting to keep pushing against this resistance but seeing your commitment makes me hold my ground.

One hundred people have now added their names to this call for change. It is heavy work to keep pushing this forward but knowing I am not alone makes the weight easier to carry.

This Law should have been enacted years ago , it's long over due . The Govt should be ashamed of themselves for having to have this issue put to a petition.

The public deserve to know if a convicted sex offender is living or working in their environment, particularly where children have been victimized.

I fully support these initiatives because I am outraged at the level of complacency towards child sexual abuse in our country. Sexual perpetrators should be punished with harsh sentencing and intense lifelong therapy. The public should be aware of their locations and have access to the records of their crimes forever in perpetuity.
