I knew it would only be a matter of time before Lauren "The Bimbo" Book would start writing ill-designed public policy. (It should be noted that Lauren is on the Appropriations committee, which is the committee that passes bills determining how the state's money is spent. You can bet there WILL be a conflict of interest in regards to funding for special interests tied to the Books; if this idiot survives a single term without an ethics violation?)
To get involved and stop Book's proposal, visit the Florida Action Committee. (I disagree with their advice, however, about not mentioning your status as registered citizens. Hiding in the shadow fuels bad stereotypes.)

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

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!
