Did you know that withholding children from the other parent is a state jail felony in every state? Robert Garza proposes a bill that addresses this issue with a three-strikes approach. Under this proposal, the first two offenses would result in a $500 fine for the offending parent, while a third offense would escalate to a state jail felony. Garza believes this proactive measure will prevent gamesmanship in custody disputes and save law enforcement resources by streamlining the process. Instead of lengthy investigations involving detectives and the District Attorney’s office, law enforcement can impose immediate fines to deter future violations. Garza's advocacy for the "Time Taken Back" bill ensures that parents who have their rights temporarily restricted receive their time back once false allegations are cleared, fostering the restoration of parental bonds. He invites anyone interested in championing these bills to reach out for guidance on how to promote this crucial legislative change in their state.
