Central Registry of Child Abuse Proposal

If April Brandt, the mother of the second victim, had known about Saunders’ previous conviction, she would never have revealed her daughter to this’ monster ‘.
Microsoft. Kshir said, “If only these women knew.” He added, “Why don’t those who have a violent past have a right to know? Why do we continue to cover up the crimes of child abusers and murderers? It makes me sick to know that those who abuse and kill children are safe. What will happen to the children? Where is their protection? The current registry must be a change. It needs to be made public. People have a right to know. We need to equip our parents with information so that they can better protect their children. ”
