The Issue

We, the undersigned call upon Child Protective Services (CPS) to enforce stricter measures to prevent individuals who have violated CPS rules regarding known pedophiles from maintaining custody or contact with children. This petition is dedicated to the memory of Na’Ziyah Harris, whose life was tragically taken because of a decision to allow a known pedophile a second chance.  

Dear, Child Protective Services (CPS)
The safety and well-being of our children must be our utmost priority. Recent events have highlighted a critical gap in the enforcement of Child Protective Services (CPS) rules, allowing children to remain in environments where their safety is compromised by known violators of these rules.
Na’Ziyah Harris's tragic passing underscores the need for immediate action. Her life was cut short because a known pedophile was allowed to have contact with her, despite existing CPS guidelines intended to prevent such scenarios. We believe that this tragedy could have been avoided with stricter enforcement and oversight.

We urge CPS to:
1. Review and Strengthen Policies: Re-evaluate current policies related to the custody and care of children who may be exposed to known pedophiles, ensuring that these policies are robust and comprehensive.


2. Enhance Monitoring and Compliance: Increase monitoring and enforcement efforts to ensure compliance with CPS rules, particularly in cases where a child's safety may be at risk.


3. Implement Mandatory Reporting and Accountability Measures: Establish mandatory reporting and accountability protocols for caregivers and guardians who knowingly place children in unsafe environments.


4. Provide Better Support and Resources: Offer more support and resources for families and caregivers to make informed decisions that prioritize the safety of children.


By signing this petition, we hope to bring about meaningful change that will protect children and prevent future tragedies. Let us work together to honor the memory of Na’Ziyah Harris by ensuring that every child has the safe and nurturing environment they deserve.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

                                                                     Sincerely,                                                                                                       Tamara Liberty Smith
