Senator Lauren Book – Bills to watch out for and oppose.
Lauren Book, Daughter of Lobbyist Ron Book, Founder of ‘Lauren’s Kids’ one of the State’s highest funded charities, advocate for punitive sex offender registration laws and State Senator, has sponsored some bills that will be on our radar and we will be opposing this legislative session.

| Increases the Penalties for CP offenses | |

These proposals are unnecessary and will actually do nothing. But she is a Senator now, so she has to look like she is doing something. She probably didn’t even come up with these proposals herself and it looks more scripted by her political manager/team/or advisers. Every year they’ll come up with ” bits ” just to please and pillow talk the societal lynch mob majority and add to her political portfolio for more re-elections. I won’t be surprised if they got the next 10 years covered already.
It’s really sad that she focuses everything on sexual offense laws. With her senatorial powers and influence, it would be impressive and actually more useful if she tackles more pressing issues like education, teachers, abuses from big corporations, economic growth and stability, political corruption and abuse, as well as crimes which are more relevant and more a threat in our digital era like – identity theft. Which is a huge problem even for law enforcement. I’ve been a victim of identity theft 3 times and the police are clueless as to how to investigate it. They really don’t bother.
But……. it is what it is. Same old politics. Zzz
It may be on your radar but will you folks actually go to Tallahassee in person to stop this? I’m not taking about the one or two core group members, I mean all of you who are reading this? It is time we put the Books out of business.
passage of these laws, just close up shop and forget about it. Stick a Fork in it.
Coming next from Ms Brook ‘a man can be charged for possession of rapist tool-a women for intent to distribute porno to minors
The Books don’t stop but we as Registered citizens must ALL get involved to call in to our legislators and top officials in Tallahassee and protest these bills!!! Let’s do it…. we can ALL help these bills not go through.
Agreed. All RCs in Florida, to include their friends and family, need to call and write their state congressmen and senators to oppose these bills. Suggested arguments below, and personal examples and stories should be included as well.
Anything regarding sentencing and electronic monitoring should be strictly judicial discretion on a case by case basis. Legislatures fixing sentences without consideration to individual circumstances historically unjust.
“Rebuttable presumption of dangerousness to a child” is logically and legally backward and akin to presumption of guilt. Absent incidents of endangerment to the defendant’s child(ren) by the defendant parent, clear and convincing evidence at a minimum must be presented to overcome the historically and naturally presumed protective nature of the parent/child relationship.
Reducing reporting new residence time frame from 5 days to 3 serves no purpose. Absent a showing of significant frequency of actual versus presumed offenses or conjecture that such revision will or would have prevented, proposed revision serves no purpose other than deliberately inconveniencing of those affected.
I would, but I’m in Georgia. I will gladly help write or ghost write for anyone who would like me to.
man, what is it going to take to stop the Books??? i really hate what happened to her, but i had NOTHING to do with her abuse !
I would like to call re: those bills..can it made easier? list

This is what happens when evil people are in power. They are using a tragic event as justification for revenge. Not revenge on the SINGLE INDIVIDUAL who actually was involved but hateful and petty revenge on an entire group of people they have never met and know nothing about!
Who is the real abusers now? I would say without hesitation that it is Lauren Book and Ron Book. These 2 must derive some twisted satisfaction and pleasure from the systematic abuse that they are actively involved in tormenting individuals and families (including children) none of whom they have ever met and know NOTHING about!
PATHETIC
Ron Book and Lauren Book will continue their mean spirited campaign so all sex offenders are either homeless or in jail. Currently working on the jail part is high in the list. The Books have made an entire population homeless. The laws are meant to be so rigorous and technical that errors with the registration and such, make non sex offenses easy to violate without knowledge.
