Tougher mandatory sentences for those who abuse, assault and exploit children
- Target:
- Canadian Government
- Region:
- Canada
The internet encouraged pedophiles to create new and increasingly vulgar material, described as where a child is abused as others watch live through streaming video.
Sadly, the internet age has created a vicious cycle in which child pornography continually becomes more widespread, more graphic, more sadistic, using younger and younger children.
The investigation and prosecution of child predators depends critically on the availability of evidence that is often in the hands of internet service providers. Under section 163.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada, it is a crime to distribute child pornography.
However, internet service providers such as Rogers, Bell Canada, Telus, Shaw, and others, distribute tens of thousands of pages of child pornography every day.
We, the undersigned, call on the Canadian Government to introduce new legislation that would ensure mandatory harsh sentences for those who abuse, assault and exploit children and that requires Internet Service Providers to report child pornography and bolster penalties for those companies that fail to do so.
