Worldwide Petition for April's Law in the US!
The following are the proposed changes to the U.S. laws;
APRIL’S LAW FEDERAL PETITION PORTION
We, the undersigned, as citizens and registered voters do hereby petition for the passage of laws regulating the maintaining, or promoting, or building or hosting or supporting or sponsoring or being connected in any way to any web site that promotes, encourages, panders, or solicits the sexual exploitation of children. These laws shall apply to private, public or commercial enterprises whether they be individual or corporate. We, feel that the use of these web sites encourages crimes against children of a depraved sexual nature; that the existence of these sites serves no public or community good or use; that the only visitors of the sites are child predators or potential child predators; that the sites entices, incites or inflames the sick passion of child predators; that the sites present a clear and present danger to our children. We believe that no Internet service provider, Internet hosting service, Web hosts or any other private, public or commercial service that provide data center space and/or connectivity to the Internet or to any local area network, should be able to legally host or provide any type of service to any individual, web site or organization that encourages sex crimes against children. This includes any web site, service or individual that portray children in a sexually suggestive manner, any support system, web sites, blogs, audio or video service or hosting services that verify and encourage pedophiles to continue with their criminal urges against children and any type of pornography that is digitally enhanced, touched up or otherwise altered to make the individuals engaging in sex acts to resemble children in a realistic manner. We demand that these web sites be made ILLEGAL in the USA for the USA and the global community.
We, feel that because of this danger that the maintenance of a child predator web site is a conspiracy to commit a sex crime against a child and is so grievous in nature that it should be classified as a felony.
We, therefore petition for the following sanctions against these web sites:
1.) All persons involved in these web sites shall pay a fine of $250,000, have all computer equipment seized and donated to a local school,
2.) All persons involved be required to be a registered sex offender,
3.) All persons involved be restricted from access to the internet,
4.) Be sentenced to 25 years; be required to serve a mandatory 5 year sentence in jail followed by 20 years probation.
APRIL’S LAW STATE PETITION PORTION
We, the undersigned, as citizens and registered voters do hereby petition for the passage of the following laws to see all child predators have mandatory sentences that prohibit them from returning to the streets to re-offend. As citizens of the United States, we believe that the sentencing guidelines for those who kidnap, sexually molest and/or kill children, (any personage 17 and under) are entirely too lenient. April's State Law was enacted because we recognize that those who prey on children cannot be "fixed". Is it a compulsion that even those at the top of the psychology field have yet to truly understand. There is no cure and our children are in eminent danger. We are also tired of hearing about child predators being released back into our streets so that they may re-offend. We believe that just punishment for the following crimes should be as such: 1st degree murder of a child: Will automatically be a capital offense. This will also include any death of a child as the result of abuse and/or neglect. Conviction will result in a minimum sentence of life without parole and a maximum sentence of death.
Child Rape: Mandatory life without parole.
Child Pornography:
1. Distribution: 25 years to life
2. “Simple” possession with no intent to distribute: minimum sentence of 15 years.
These laws are called APRIL’S LAW after April (Deb Rowbury's daughter) who was raped and left with a venereal disease at 6 years of age. Her attacker was convicted but only served 12 months. He spent the next 19 years as a habitual user of pedophile web sites until he was again arrested for raping another child. This time his sentence was only 10 years. He is still no were to be seen on the sex offender registry.
In the words of "girllover":
"...It's amazing, I just think they're cute, alot cuter than women..there's a kind of erotic arousal there..we just love being around children. I mean, it's almost like a high, a legal high, and it just makes us happier than anything in the world, really..."

First of all, I'm going to put out the disclaimer that I absolutely hate sexual assault, and support harsh penalties for those who commit such crimes. However, I do take a bit of an issue with this proposed law. now of course I haven't read the actual law, just what's written here, but here's what I have problems with: first let's start with an example. Here in Wisconsin it's illegal to have sex with anyone that's under... 17 or 18, I don't remember off the top of my head which. The situation that has been run into here is that 2 17 year olds (both consenting) can be arrested for it. Or same goes for say an 18 year old having sex with their 17 year old significant other. (at least this was the situation as presented in my criminal justice class a year ago.) IT's this way in a lot of states actually. And prosecuters have been known to raise their number of convictions on "sex offenders) by prosecuting such cases. That's something that the people promoting and/or writing such proposals and laws don't always remember to think about.
Next we're going to get into the famous freedom of speech/writing/WhatHaveYou issue that I'm quite happy to remind others of in such cases. Putting up a website and talking about things, even makeing rendering pictures to look in a certain way, is not illegal. We may find the subject distasteful, but that does not negate their right to say it / make their presentation. (now if they abuse children in making pictures of such things, I sincerely hope the law comes down on them like a ton of bricks. and if they get buried under an actual ton of bricks, even better.)
However, back to what I was saying. Not only do we have their freedom of speech and writing to consider, but there's also the classic "if they limit the speech of one group, that makes a precedent to limit someone else's speech down the line. Keep walking that path, and they may, and probably will, get to you eventually. And to paraphrase one of my favorite poems "and then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out.." (If people want, I can hunt down the actual poem as it's very good, and much better than my paraphrase.) Sorry this is a bit more of a ramble than I usually put out, but I think they're points that need to at least be brought up. I'm just going to end with one of my favorite quotes that expresses my view on this subject: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." (attributed to Voltaire)
What's with all these girls having laws named after each other, and it's all for the same thing, whether it be Megan, Sarah or April. How many more girls are going to have anti-paedophile campaigns laws named after them? We don't have people called Steven having laws which protect the public from murder after them, we don't have people called Mohammad having laws protecting the public from... terrorism named after them, and We don't have people called Robbert having a Robert's law to protect people from ... robbery. Why should these girls be so different? Why don't campaigners against paedophiles and child abusers stop trying to find names for their campaigns, and start campaigning more effectively? By the way, no matter how tough the legislation is, the law will still be broken. Society needs to accept that certain individuals are better of out of society. There are certain individuals who will be a danger to the public if they have access to the public. However, we have the ability to ensure that they're never in contact with the public again, and if we as societies pressured our government's to change the laws so that dangerous people were permanently made incapable of being dangerous again, all law-abiding members of society would be safer.
Could it be and I've just woken up after working all night, that the parents, and who can blame the poor feickers, want some way of reminding everyone of what happened to their child..when kids are murdered we're shocked then we move on ..we should never forget each murdered child because the next 1 might be one of ours.
Stevie.
