Missouri representative pushes for “Sam and Lindsey’s Law”
On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Child Custody on Tuesday, January 18, 2011. It’s estimated that 350,000 children are kidnapped by a parent every year. To try and combat this high number, one Missouri state representative wants to push a bill through the legislature that would give police officers more access to visitation and child custody agreements. If passed, this new law would allow for Missouri police officers to access a full database of all visitation and child custody agreements between two parents, which means the law would affect not only noncustodial parents, but also custodial parents and those who share joint legal custody.
