Today, we demand justice and stronger punishment for repeated child abusers in Staten Island. Alarmingly, child abuse cases across the country continue to rise. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly 680,000 children were victims of abuse in 2018 alone. So, in a time when local communities should enforce stricter policies to protect our children, leniency for repeat offenders remains troublingly common. Particularly in Staten Island, the repercussions lack sufficiency and fail to offer the necessary preventive impact. We insist on the implementation of life sentences for repeat child abusers in Staten Island to ensure our children's safety and send a strong message that this heinous crime will not be tolerated. Stand with us and demand change. Sign our petition now.
