I thought the sex offenders register was for life unless they were subsequently found to be innocent? Its got enough signatures at least.

No Jelly, there are different lengths of time people remain on the register.

Finite notification periods are halved if the person is under 18 when convicted or cautioned.
In April 2010 the United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled that indefinite notification requirements contained in section 82(1) of the 2003 Act were a breach of individual human rights as they were disproportionate.[4][5] As a result of this, appeals against indefinite inclusion within the register were introduced. Appeals can be made to the local police force by an offender after inclusion on the register for 15 years. If the local police force declines to remove the offender from the register, they may appeal to a magistrates' court.[6]

Sorry for the Wikipedia quote...

I think her parents deserve this to get as far as a parliamentary debate.
