'An estimated 57,000 children die each year from physical abuse'- World Health Organization

Child abuse is unfortunately a global situation and many cases of child abuse are seen on numerous occasions.

Sadly, the ACTUAL number of children abused may be much higher. The statistics only show the number of cases which are discovered, whereas there may be a high number of cases unrecognised- a prime example being 'Baby P'.

Therefore, the best way to tackle the situation is through deterrence by setting examples of severe punishment and consequences.

With such a video going viral (link above), it is important to take this opportunity to speak for the unspeakable and get this 8 month baby and many more around the world justice and to help show such behaviour is not only rejected but intolerable.

Please take a minute out of your time to sign this petition and help make a difference to stop child abuse and properly punish perpetrators.

Thank you.
