It is easy to see that this online petition written by the Webster family in Oklahoma is fueled by animus. When they say those on the registry should have NO constitutional rights, it merely proves they are fueled by blind hatred. There are a few things about it that stand out to me:
1. We should never have laws named after a person, but naming laws after a school mascot is just flat out stupid.
2. You cannot retroactively extend probation/parole status because that is punishment and that would violate double jeopardy. (I can't expect trailer trash to understand constitutional law).
3. Backgrounds checks for marriage certificates sounds completely sexist and violate anti-doscrimination laws.

"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?..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.
They also want background checks on all marriage applications. If one party is identified as a sex offender—the other person needs to know, and the marriage would be denied if the non-offender has minor children. These are the two big pointers Ivy Webster’s dad Justin and her cousin Tiffany Troy discussed the effort with FOX23’s Scott Martin. Both hope to have a universal law nationwide.
“A lot of offenders have previously been assaulted as a minor child and then we they become an adult and try to seek out that power and take back what was taken from them. But when they do that, they go and assault another child. If we can get those people off the street permanently, then we’re hoping to stop that generational cycle from happening,” said Troy.
The family is working closely with District 16 State Rep. Scott Fetgatter. He first brought up Knight’s Law during the last legislative session. He’s been working with the Webster family to narrow down the big things that need to change.
