After recent tragedy struck our small community of Henryetta, Oklahoma, we decided to write this petition to help change the law on sentencing and probation terms in Oklahoma for sex offenders. More specifically child sex offenders. It is our very strong believe that sex offenders CAN NOT BE REHABILITATED!! Did you know that when a child is sexually abused they are traumatized and affected with several issues their ENTIRE LIFE? Not just PTSD, panic attacks, paranoia, but also actual permanent nerve damage as well, It is a real dilemma. So if a person can sexually assault a child of any age, and they have life long trauma from that, isn't it fair that the offender be sentenced to life in prison without parole?? We absolutely think so. If they have the nerve to ruin a child's chance at a normal life, they deserve NO SECOND CHANCES. Majority of sex crimes against children go unreported, because the children and parents have to go through way too much to put that offender away for a maximum of 20 years. Their probation terms are also too relaxed. Why does a person who commits a sex crime against a child not required to have home checks done monthly? Why are they allowed to marry people with children, or even have their own children? This week in Henryetta, Oklahoma FIVE children and one woman were murdered due to a child sex offender being released and marrying a woman with children. Why was this allowed? Why did this not raise concerns with local law enforcement who knew he was a registered sex offender LIVING WITH CHILDREN?? We cannot answer these questions but we will say since covid probation officers have not been doing home visits with offenders. It's absurd how our judicial system has used Covid to not do their jobs. It is TIME FOR CHANGE!!! Child sex offenders deserve way worse than anything they will get for their offences.

We're asking that a person CONVICTED of a sex crime against a child serve life in prison without the possibility of parole. We ask that the probationary terms of those already released from prison for child sex offenses be reevaluated, and we ask for their probation terms to include monthly home visits.; Their offences clearly to state they committed sex crimes against a CHILD (if you go to odcr or the sex offender registry it shows the offense, but not that the offense was against a child).; If they go to a courthouse to obtain a marriage license that their proposed spouse interviewed to make sure they do not have children and are aware of the crime(s) that they committed.; We are also asking that sex offenders convicted of crime(s) against children rights be taken to have their own children. If they have the nerve to ruin a child's life they deserve not to have thier own child(ren). Having children is not a human right if you ruined the life of a child. And if you ruin a child's life you deserve NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!

We are also asking that it be mandated that all city police stations and schools in Oklahoma have a board set up with all local sex offenders pictures and information on them and kept up to date. This is so important so we can help our local people, police, and school staff aware of offenders in our area because the man responsible for these horrendous murders, like other offenders, are able to manipulate people into believe false information, especially when you can't see details of the court case and it is not labeled that they committed crimes against children.

We would like to name this law "The Knights Law" in honor of our beautiful Knights who's lives were tragically taken from them. 

So what can we do? Well, by signing this petition you have a voice!! We are all Knights!!! We can fight this!! YOU can support this petition so we can implement change to the standards of sentencing, and probationary terms to child sex offenders. 

By ignoring this issue we are saying it's ok for sex offenders to re-offend and ruin lives. It is absolutely imperative that we raise awareness to this issue and we CAN DO something about this! This is our childrens future. We need to take IMMEDIATE ACTION to do everything we can to protect our children! Thank you for your time and support! It is greatly appreciated!!
