Rights of Relative Caregivers in Florida

This petition was published by Angela JOnes on Apr 13, 2004

We, the people of Florida, petition the State to enact a law stating once a child has been in Relative Care for 12 consecutive months, the right of that child and Relative Caregiver to maintain thier bond through regularly scheduled visits is LAW! We are also petitioning for Relative Caregiver's to be given the same rights to subsidy as State Licensed Foster Parents within a reasonable time frame of sixty days from the date child is placed with that relative by our court system. We are asking for protection under the law, that employers cannot descriminate against Relative Caregivers in denying benefits for these children because of Custody issues with the State of FLorida, or employment. Our children who often can't speak for themselves need a voice of support. Please sign our petition in support of these families that give so much and ask for so little in return!
