Rafael Garza, a 5-year-old boy with autism, was entrusted to the Kendall Center in Modesto, CA. His family believed that he would receive care and support there. Instead, he became a victim of Sean Dalton Marquez. This is not an isolated incident; it's a recurring nightmare for many families who have non-verbal autistic children.

The current laws are insufficient to protect our children from such predators. The sentencing for child molesters is disappointingly light, which does not serve as an effective deterrent against these heinous crimes. Moreover, the lack of stringent background checks on individuals working with children further exacerbates this issue.

We demand immediate action to rectify this situation. We call upon lawmakers to strengthen laws related to child molestation and increase the severity of sentences handed out in such cases. Furthermore, we insist on nationwide criminal checks for all those working with children.

We also request that the Kendall Center be shut down due to their negligence in providing safety for autistic kids like Rafael Garza.

This petition isn't just about one child or one center; it's about protecting all our vulnerable children from harm now and in the future.

Join us in demanding justice for Rafael Garza and safer environments for all our children by signing this petition today.
