I just talked to the Oklahoma STate Senator. I had sent her an email not long after my son had died. I will be covering this story on AC so make sure to check it out for full details. She is going to go in front of the board and in front of the Chief of Police so that she can go to the top law men and see how to go about changing this law for Negligent Homicide. She said that once she does this and get's their full support, she will go in front of the legislature to get this bill passed. Once that is done, it will go in front of someone else who either decides to except or veto it. This will all take place within the next few months. The bill can not be passed or vetoed until the begining of next year. I finally did it!!! I am getting them to help me to change the law. I am so excited.

Thank you, you don't know how excited my husband and I were after getting the call from the State Senator. It was like a huge relief.

First of all, I like to say how truly sorry I am at your loss. I don't have any children so I can't even fatham what you had to go through. One thing for sure it has strengthened you which has caused you to fight for a change in the law. Good for you. I hope that the powers that be continue to pay attention so that more parents don't have to go through what you've gone through. God Bless You. Angel

Thank you and I hope that someday I will be able to look back and see what all we have accomplished in my son's name.

That's great! This just goes to prove that you shouldn't give up when you need something done. :)
