Hope on the Horizon

Just yesterday, I was opining on the need for stricter sentences and tougher controls over those who decide to harm children. Well, lo and behold, we have what may be a miracle! I was cautiously ecstatic to learn that legislation patterned after the legislation which was signed into law by Governor Jeb Bush of Florida has been set for a vote by the California Senate Public Safety Committee. California State Senator Jeff Denham (R-Merced) has proposed legislation which would require lifetime satellite tracking for sex offenders convicted of child molestation. As I write this, it is being discussed in Sacramento. We are hoping for as swift and as responsive a Senate as we saw in Florida these past few weeks.

For those of us parents who are anxiously awaiting the day when child molesters will have justice meted out to the degree with which they deserve, there is indeed hope on the horizon. Check Senator Denham's website for information on how to support this most important legislation. Our children's health and safety are riding on this. Don't expect other parents to take action; support the Senator and take action now! Click here to access his website.
