CALL TO ACTION!!! SB 1558 authored by Senator Lauren Book.

March 6, 2017 FAC Contributor #1 10 Comments min read

This is a horrible bill!

Child Exploitation; Revising the offenses that may be investigated and prosecuted by the Office of Statewide Prosecution; revising the types of offenses committed by a child in the custody of the Department of Children and Families which require the department to provide notice to the school superintendent; revising the type of offenses that create a rebuttable presumption of detriment for judicial determinations related to contact between a parent or caregiver and certain child victims, etc.

Among a number of things this bill seeks to do is remove parental rights of parents convicted of viewing child pornography even if the child was not the victim!

It empowers Department of Children and Families to make this call. We all know the horrific track record of DCF and how many children have died in their custody and control or oversight.

TELL YOUR LEGISLATORS THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT NOR THE EXPERTISE!

Why is Florida going backwards? The COSOMB has just released new guidelines which actually says it’s important for parents to have contact with their children. They have rethought a position which was widely held for many years in Colorado, and now they have realized it is detrimental to the family as a whole. Not just the returning registered person but to the very children who were denied access to their parent.

There are high profile ATSA members on this COSOMB who are consultants to the SMART office… I think they know far more than legislators in Florida who seek only to continue to punish a population who is of the least likely to reoffend and have contact offense.

TELL OUR LEGISLATORS WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

I don’t get it. Is this bill saying that if you have been convicted and are labeled a sex offender – they will now try and take your child/children away from. You? Some one please clarify.

  It does not say they will. It says they CAN. So, an ex spouse or Department of Children and Families can initiate a petition to remove parental rights or remove a minor child from your custody and the presumption will be that the registrant is dangerous to the child and the burden will be on the registrant to provide otherwise.

    I don’t know if this bill will pass or not. But one thing is for sure. I will not give my child to DCF or anyone from the state. I will use lethal force to protect my child from being taken.

      Is there an update on where this bill is at. How can we trace it. Do you need a family to go to Tallahassee to talk to the stupid politicians?

        You can track it from the above link.
        
        It’s a bit late in the game – this call to action was put up a while ago.

        What are we doing about it as a group. I emailed all who were on the list. What I want to know is what FAC is doing next or are we just letting this go without a fight. Or if we are fighting are we doing it through legal counsel. In other words…..what’s next??

        We are currently asking all members to call their legislators to oppose the bill.
        
        If the bill fails there is nothing more to do.
        
        If the bill becomes law, it will be up to us whether we can file a legal challenge to it. There is no question we will want to, but the question is whether we can raise the funds to bring a lawsuit. Currently we’re still trying to collect for our Ex Post Facto challenge and that’s a struggle.

We knew this would be her agenda and so does all the legislaters. Let her get the state sued one good time and lose for one of her hateful, unconstitutional laws (that were once mainstream) and she’ll slow her roll, and her daddy’s. Their days of the victim industry are numbered. Two very hateful individuals who deserve jail time for their known lies. They have gotten money and power from her daddy’s bad choice of a nanny. It looks like you should thank your dad now bitch!

I am confused about the wording of this bill. Is there a link that can be shared where we can read the bill? I have done a Google search and cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated. I will be contacting the appropriate official once I know what I’m actually talking about. Thanks!
