WHAT a landmark moment. Yesterday, Natalie Hick and her mother, June, handed over our Change It! petition to the Home Office. This newspaper has been overwhelmed with support from the pubic since launching the pioneering campaign, which aims to have child abductors put on the Sex Offenders' Register.
Natalie bravely waived her right to anonymity, after a court case in which her 52-year-old would-be abductor, Terry Delaney, was jailed, but escaped going on the Register. Last week, Tory leader David Cameron backed the campaign - which has also been endorsed by Prime Minister Tony Blair. All that remains now is for action to replace words. Just do it. Then Change It! can become Changed It! What a great day that will be.
