"Children and adolescents have among the highest rates of conventional crime victimization and, in addition, suffer from some crimes – like sexual abuse and family abduction -- specific to childhood. Despite enormous publicity about crime and youth, however, this high vulnerability is seldom mentioned. These facts and statistics about crimes against children are compiled from a variety of sources. Crimes against youth are less likely to be reported to police." (crimes against children research center http://www.unh.edu/ccrc/factsheet.html#1) Every child belongs to us. Those who sign this petition want stronger punishment for those who commit crimes against children. This petition is for the protection of the weakest members of our society. Be the voice for those whose voices go unheard.
