Introduce the Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act into Federal Law by passing the proposed bill
The Issue
because "Child Abuse Resulting In Death" is a nice way of trying to sugar coat "Murder Resulting From Child Abuse". While some of these laws have been helpful in gaining more justice for families, the maximum sentencing does not fit the crime themselves.
Because my 2 year old daughter, Emma Marie Baldwin, was murdered in October 2012. This is why I want to introduce the Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act into Congress as soon as possible. It should be a federal law. If it does not pass into Federal Law into the United States Code, then it shall be passed in each state's code at the same time, with haste. We need to expand crimes against children and we need increase mandatory minimum sentencing for crimes against children.
The Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act will establish a National Child Abuse Registry to be integrated with SMART system already established for sex offenders. The office that maintains it shall be titled the Office of Child Abuse Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking and shall work concurrently with current SMART operations.
CARNA – The Child Abuse Registration and Notification Act of the Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act will provide a comprehensive set of minimum standards for child abuse offender registration and notification in the United States. CARNA will aim to close potential gaps and loopholes that existed under prior law and generally strengthens the nationwide network of child abuse offender registration and notification programs.
Additionally, CARNA:
1. Extends the jurisdictions in which registration is required beyond the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the principal U.S. territories, to include also federally recognized Indian tribes.
Incorporates a more comprehensive group of child abuse offenders and child abuse offenses for which registration is required.
2. Requires registered child abuse offenders to register and keep their registration current in each jurisdiction in which they reside, work, or go to school.
3. Requires child abuse offenders to provide more extensive registration information.
4. Requires child abuse offenders to make periodic in-person appearances to verify and update their registration information.
5. Expands the amount of information available to the public regarding registered child abuse offenders.
6. Makes changes in the required minimum duration of registration for child abuse offenders.
The Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act will also establish a system similar to Amber Alert called Emma Alert. This will alert immediate and adjacent areas where a child has been abused or murdered and the person responsible for the crime has not been arrested yet. It will establish a new network with social media and other resources to send alerts to notify the immediate danger.
The Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act will establish the following Federal Laws for Crimes Against Children in each state:
Murder Resulting From Child Abuse (Children 17 years and younger)

All fifty states have some form of stalking and harassment law. These laws define the ‘pattern’ or ‘course of conduct’ involving unwanted, disturbing and threatening behavior toward a person. Many times, people don’t know that a perpetrator’s behavior is actually stalking until it has been going on for some time.
Many people don’t even realize that what they are experiencing is stalking. It is important that you take action immediately to respond to this crime. Download the Stalking Checklist to become equipped in dealing with this crime.
The Emma Marie Baldwin Child Protection and Safety Act will establish the following Federal Laws for Crimes Against Victim’s Families in each state:
