Six-year old Arthur Labinjo-Hughes was cruelly tortured, neglected and murdered at the hands of his sadistic father and step-mother in Solihull, West Midlands (UK). He still remains unburied in the hospital mortuary.

The unbearable suffering felt by this young boy in his short life has touched the nation; breaking so many hearts along the way. 

The UK government can pass a vote to hold a state funeral (usually held for monarchs or people of national significance).  

Arthur is of national significance. He represents all the children who have no voice or power to stop their abuse and who are let down and not protected by the system. We should all pay our respects and show him that he is seen, heard and loved and that his death will not be in vain.
