To our incredible community of supporters,
First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has signed and shared this petition. Your support amplifies our collective voice and fuels this fight for justice within America's broken family court system.
Since launching this petition, which exposes the systemic due process and civil rights violations plaguing family courts nationwide, we have not stood idly by. We have taken direct and decisive action to ensure our demands for reform reach the highest levels of government.
I am proud to announce that comprehensive, legally sound, and compelling appeals, rooted in the constitutional principles outlined in this petition, have been formally delivered to:
* The Honorable J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of Oklahoma: A direct appeal highlighting the systemic failures within Oklahoma's state judiciary, exemplified by my own case, and urging executive action to ensure due process and child safety.
* The U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division: A formal request for a federal investigation into the pervasive civil rights and due process violations occurring in state family courts, underscoring the systemic nature of these abuses.
* The United States Congress (House and Senate Judiciary Committees): A direct appeal to Congressional leadership for immediate oversight hearings, demanding the enactment of a comprehensive "Parents' Bill of Rights" and the establishment of a federal oversight body for family courts.
* The Honorable Danald J. Trump, President of the United States: A direct call for executive leadership to initiate a broad federal review, establish a Presidential Task Force on Family Court Reform, and champion legislative solutions to protect families nationwide.
* The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (OCR): A specific complaint detailing civil rights violations by state child welfare agencies, particularly concerning the inexplicable failure to investigate documented child abuse reports in my case.
* The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law: Leading civil rights organizations have received our detailed case information, urging their review for potential litigation and advocacy to challenge these systemic injustices.
This is not just a petition; it is a movement. We are leveraging every available avenue to demand accountability and fundamental change. By directly engaging these powerful federal and state entities, we are ensuring that the stories of countless families, like mine, who have been silenced, ignored, and stripped of their rights, can no longer be overlooked.
The fight for due process, parental rights, and genuine child protection in family courts is far from over. In fact, it has just begun its most critical phase. Your continued support is vital.
What you can do next:
* Share this petition widely: Every new signature strengthens our hand and demonstrates the undeniable public demand for reform.
* Contact your own federal representatives: Echo the demands in this petition to your U.S. Senators and House Representative. Tell them your story or express your concern about the systemic issues in family courts.
* Stay engaged: We will provide further updates as this critical work progresses.
Together, we are forcing a reckoning. Together, we can ensure that no more families suffer silently within a broken system.
Thank you for being part of this powerful call to action.
Sincerely,
Eric Turner
