This petition was inspired by a 3 year old little boy named Christopher Faulk, Christopher was abused for the past 4 months and later died to blunt force trauma to the head by the hands of his abuser.
The Abuser remains in the Allen County Jail on a felonious assault charge connected to Christopher. Christopher was severely beaten in a Beaverdam home in late September. Emergency medical officials were called to the home on Sept. 29 on a report of an unresponsive child. Investigators later learned Christopher had been unresponsive for more than 24 hours before the call was made. Christopher and his mother were staying at the abuser's house when the assault occurred.
Christopher was transported to Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio and was on life support for a week. He was 90% brain dead and no hope of survival. He later died October 7, 2008.
We, the undersigned, call on the U.S. Senate and House of Representative to pass a comprehensive Federal Law that would protect children from Child Abuse and would put more restrictive measures on those agencies whose job it is to protect children.
Any Family member or Non-Family member who witness's an abuse and not reporting it to Local Law Enforcement or Children's Agencie's should be found just as guilty as the abuser and should be punished as well. Many children would be given a second chance if the witness would of called for help.
Depending on the case if they have prior convictions of seriously abusing a child, it should be considered not to allow the accused to be around children without supervision, and every state should develop a procedure for notifying residents of a Child Abuser residing there. Each state should differ on how they report the information, and be put on a National Alert Registry.
MANDATORY SENTENCING should be applied for anyone found guilty of abusing a child.
*15 minimum years for seriously abusing a child without parole.
*Life in prison for death of child due to child abuse.
Our Govenment Officals are falling short in protecting our children and their rights.
