Episode 12: MY SON WAS MURDERED during court ordered unsupervised parent time.

Wanna text us? Have a suggestion? Want a question answered? Just want to comment? We got you. I think this has been my most important conversation yet, and my hope is that you will first and foremost; CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR/SENATOR and urge this bill to be passed (HB 272-OM'S LAW) and secondly, share this with your friends and family and ask them to do the same. So many women and children are being abused and don't say anything because it is almost always made worse for them. "Getting out" or "Walking away" isn't that easy. No one should have to live a nightmare like Leah did for YEARS. She is my friend. I have other friends facing the same consequences she did, as a result of legal abuse and uneducated "experts" who have no expertise in domestic violence or child abuse. Please message the senator in your county and urge HB272, "Om's Law," to PASS. We have one week. This goes to the senate last week of February.YOUR LEGISLATORhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12u3w5Fxb9_upRC2kWWlkcNjK2MnzYYfDsfvJ4CZp6Qc/edit?usp=sharingTO CONTACT YOUR SENATOR: https://senate.utah.gov/contact Power and Control Wheelhttps://www.thehotline.org/identify-abuse/power-and-control/ UtahDomestic Violence Coalitionhttps://udvc.org/ The Safe Child Projecthttps://thepolicyproject.org National Safe Parents Orghttps://www.nationalsafeparents.org/kaydens-law.html House Bill 272 Bill language: https://le.utah.gov/~2024/bills/static/HB0272.html Watch proceedings: https://le.utah.gov/FloorCalendars/ House Floor reading and vote 22:18 Cutler’s presentation https://le.utah.gov/av/floorArchive.jsp?markerID=126353Om's Law: Keeping Children Safe From Family ViolenceUtah House Bill 272House Judiciary Committee TestimonyFebruary 8, 2024  My name is Leah Moses, I’m Om’s mom.  9 months ago, my 16-year-old son Om was murdered by his father on Mother’s Day weekend during court-ordered parent time. Om was brutally shot twice in the back and once in his face by a 45 caliber handgun bought from a pawn shop on the same State Street in Salt Lake City as the courthouse where I fought in family court for 14 years trying to keep my children safe. I supplied the courts with extensive evidence of Om's father's abuse and the risk to my children, but it fell on deaf ears.  This morning it is my impossible task to represent thousands of protective parents and children who share their own, but similar experiences living in violence and who are not safe to speak out because they will be abused, tonight, tomorrow, and this weekend.Support the show
