I went through this back when I first got released from prison 2011 – part of my plea agreement was the right to my child (the state hung the bait and I accepted) upon entry into the prison system I lost my rights to my child because I was now a number, not a person, who was the ward of the state (nice bait and switch here) I fought for my rights upon my release into probation in 2011. I had an attorney who I thought was looking out for my best interest but instead my wallet. I went before the courts numerous times not giving up, but paying attention! I listened what the issues were and asked my attorney why these things were not happening or suggested to do. He told me he had this all in the bag (his bag of my money). I finally realized he needed to go. So I fired him! I then went for 2 separate STATIC-99 tests from different locations (just to protect myself from a conflict of interest possible dismissal of results). I then went back before the courts again still on probation. I won my case representing myself. I not only got my rights back but even over-night visitations as well. Probation never heard of someone getting this and even called the Judge to question the decision. Again, I won! But only because I cared enough to keep fighting. Now, I have been off probation since 2016 and have a great relationship with my son and my former ex (her daughter from a former marriage was the victim that is on record with the courts) and we spend holidays together as a family that has experienced hell but has banded together to create a heaven here on earth. DON’T GIVE UP!

This bill is proof politicians are not in the least bit interested in the welfare of children, or taxpayers. Here we have situations where conditions are already made bad because of lost wages and employment due to the registry. Now we have the strain of one parent having to take the weight of all the responsibility of raising the kids. Your going to have one parent that may now have to quit work in order to stay home with kids and go on welfare. Plus kids that will now be unsupervised and feel neglected and unloved. You will have more problem children , more violence toward society , more suicide, more mental health problems and state expenses.
What world do politicians live in ? It’s sure not the real world.

And to think this [insert expletive here], is already supposedly going to run for president. As one of the VERY small group of registrants who can vote, he will never get mine. There is a long list of candidates antithetical to our cause who fall into that category.

I wonder what they do in situations where the other parent is deceased…
