Violet-Grace’s Law - Life sentences for Death by Dangerous Driving
- Final Signatures: 167,506
The men who killed our daughter drove a stolen a car at 83 mph in a 30 mph zone. They killed our 4-year-old daughter Violet-Grace and severely injured her nan, who has life-changing injuries. They will serve less time in prison than Violet was alive. I don’t want other families to suffer like this.

The Government responsed to this petition on 25th February 2019 (View Full Response)Parental alienation can have severe effects on children —low self-esteem and self-hatred, lack of trust, depression, substance abuse and other forms of addiction - as children lose the capacity to give and accept love from a parent.
The Government responsed to this petition on 9th May 2019 (View Full Response)Research shows that jurors accept commonly held rape myths resulting in many incorrect not guilty verdicts. Rapists are walking free from court, although evidence is robust. This ruins lives. Rape conviction in the UK is very low. Compared to other crimes conviction is 21% lower.
The Government responsed to this petition on 12th April 2018 (View Full Response)We are calling for a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years when an offender kills a child through shaking the infant. This should also mean that they are not eligible for the reduction in sentence when pleading guilty to get a lower jail term.
The Government responsed to this petition on 14th February 2019 (View Full Response)Kids are killing kids. There needs to be a mandatory life sentence with a harsh minimum term of at least 10 years for anyone carrying a knife or gun. The guidelines that are in place now are obviously not a deterrent. A life sentence with 10 years minimum for all ages would be a big deterrent.
The Government responsed to this petition on 19th November 2018 (View Full Response)Fair Play For Women is calling for MPs to ensure the relevant prison rules are urgently reviewed, in full consultation with women's organisations. Prison guidance PSI-17/2016 allows male prisoners who identity as female to be moved to a female prison at the discretion of a Transgender Case Board.
The Government responsed to this petition on 4th February 2019 (View Full Response)People are scared of the amount of knife crime with apparently very little deterent to stop people carrying knifes.
Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 25th March 2019
The Government responsed to this petition on 14th March 2019 (View Full Response)I want the handling of child contact cases involving victims of domestic abuse to be reviewed, and victims given more support. The child's welfare is meant to be the main consideration in decisions about contact, but in some cases involving victims of domestic abuse we believe this doesn't happen.
Where the person entitled to inherit, and therefore apply to administer the estate of someone who has died, is a minor, we want the Government to make it so that it is the deceased's parents, and not the parent or guardian responsible for the child, who is entitled to apply to administer the estate.
Introduce increased sentences for one punch assaults and deaths
- Final Signatures: 2,008
We would like the Government to pass legislation to introduce increased sentences for one punch assaults and deaths. My family has first-hand experience as our son was killed through a one punch assault - his assailant pleaded not guilty - he was found guilty and given a 7.5 year prison sentence.
