Many children in the State of Arizona and other states are innocent victims due to the lack of laws that if were in place could safeguard and protect them.
Currently in the State of Arizona there is NO law enacted to safeguard children from a non-custodial parent (i.e. as the result of divorce) who has been placed on a state or any state's central child neglect or abuse registry due to a state's or division/department within that state's findings of neglect or abuse of that non-custodial parent.
In other words, a non-custodial parent who is on a state's central registry, as a result of a preponderance of evidence found for child neglect or abuse, can legally have unsupervised access to their children and can take them out of the state of Arizona and have their children stay with them for extended periods of time in their household. Also, the non-custodial parent who is on this child neglect or abuse registry can legally have overnight and unsupervised privileges with their children.
A law must be enacted in the State of Arizona to prevent this from occurring with children who find themselves in these unfortunate circumstances.
My hope is that all children be safeguarded by being surrounded with the healthiest, happiest environment possible for their emotional and physical development and well being.
If you agree, please sign the following petition to the Arizona Governor's office and Arizona State Legislature to enact a law that removes this loophole.
We, the undersigned, call on the Arizona State Legislature to swiftly enact a law that prevents a non-custodial parent who is on a state's central registry for child neglect or abuse from being able to have the following privileges with their children:
1) Said parent shall not have parent-time with their children outside the state that they reside in.
2) Said parent shall be required to have supervised parent time through a state approved supervision service.
3) Said parent shall not have overnight visits with their children.
