Petition institutionalised strip searching children
More details
Regarding the report in the Observer 3/3/13 that despite the MInistry of Justice recommentations that the regular strip searching of children between the ages of 12 and 17 should stop, there were 43,960 cases over a 21 month period.
In our current technological climate there is no reason other than to punish or humiliate to expose already desturbed children to this institutionalised humiliation.
I partition this government to make public a report that this practise has been stopped forthwith. The damage being done to these children is unthinkable.
I request respectivly this partition to be considered with your urgent attention.
