Let's make it a law that no schools or anyone taking care of children can get away with NOT REPORTING children taken while under their watch. Let's make "The Dominique Bill" a law that states that this crime must be immediately reported to the police department after they first notice a child was taken by someone who IS NOT supposed to have that child!!! Especially if that child/children have been taken by someone who is a known drug addict and/or could put them in immediate danger!! Let's make sure it states that an Amber Alert,  Ebony Alert or any other child alert is immediately ordered to help get that child or children back sooner!!!

DO TO THE SCHOOL SHOOTING ON OCTOBER 24, 2022 IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THIS PART: Let's add to that bill that all school across the country receives a warning if any school get a school shooting threat ASAP!!

On Sunday night at 11:06 pm, October 23, 2022 I received an email and text alert from my daughter's school district about a school shooting threat. I was very thankful for how quickly the school looked into that threat and alerted the parents. The next morning it was announced on the local news. Sadly by a little after 9:00 am a different school in the St. Louis, Missouri area did have a school shooting with fatalities. I feel that all schools should have been on super high alert after that announcement, not just the schools in the district of the threat. 

* I CREATED THIS PETITION BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER, DOMINIQUE.

We must make sure NO ONE or ANY ORGANIZATIONS caring for and educating children can get away with covering up the fact that a child was taken on their watch!! Let's make sure if there is any cover up to protect their name or anyone involved that they lose their license to do business. They must be punished for the cover-up and/or for not reporting the missing child to the authorities!!! Let's make sure they can't get away with not reporting our children missing because they think it's NOT A BIG DEAL that a child is taken by someone they know!!! Let's make sure all permission forms to pick up children are ready and available for any parent with custody to view and update the form for any reason. We must let it be known that we will not continue to tolerate more of our children being taken so easily!! A child alert must be issued immediately, especially if taken by someone who has no permission to have that child or children!!!

Many times children who are taken go unreported to the authorities. Some are reported to the authorities and no Amber Alert is issue. Even if their child/children is taken by someone that's not supposed to have them in their custody for any reasons.

This happens a lot in the African American Community. We rarely get a Amber Alert issued and often many children are never seen again. In many cases a parent(s) will get their child back but they are not returned the same. The majority of them suffer from physical and/or mental abuse from that situation. And, in many cases the whole family suffer in some way mentally or financially.

My family is still suffering mentally and financially!! In 2014 my daughter, Dominique was taken and no Amber Alert was issued!! Even after I asked for one to be issued when my baby girl was taken by the person who put her in danger!! My daughter was only 4 years old at the time and those involved should have call the police and got the Amber Alert issued immediately!!! Especially because she was taken while on their watch!!!

I can't go into any more details then I have already. But, I feel no child/children and their family should have to go through this!! Especially, if a child care facility has the power to make the process of reporting it to the authorities and get a child alert issued faster!!!

I'm very thankful I got my baby girl back but we all stuff hurt and losses.

I don't know if this petition is going to cause me any legal issues but I will edit it to ask for monetary support if it does.

Thank you and I hope you consider signing my petition!!
