Background
The UK government must protect its most vulnerable—our children. The intentional murder of a child is the most heinous crime, yet current laws fail to deliver true justice. Life sentences with parole mean killers could walk free. The death penalty ensures they face the ultimate consequence, deterring future crimes and protecting society. With strict safeguards to prevent wrongful convictions, this law would restore public confidence in justice.
