When the idea of Cassie’s Law first passed through my mind, I never realized what a long process lay before me. I never realized what an emotionally tiring process lay before me. I’ve often wondered if it was worth the trouble. Then I’d get an email from another parent in a similar situation as mine, and I knew I had to keep going, keep putting one foot in front of the other.

If you’re curious about my journey before Cassie’s Law, you may want to read this blog post.

Simply put, Cassie’s Law is a law I want to get passed that helps protect minor children from having to visit with sexually abusive parents. You may think a law like this is already in place, but it’s not. I’ve been told a point may come that my daughter’s biological father may get visitation with her, and I’ve heard similar horror stories from parents across the USA. If we don’t stand up for these children, who is going to?

I used to do more to get the facebook page and website in front of people, and I used to do more to reach out to politicians, but I’ve gotten discouraged and lazy about it. My hope is doing this 30 Day Challenge Blog will re motivate me with my efforts as well as let people know what Cassie’s Law is and what I’m trying to accomplish with it.

These are the types of blogs I’ll be posting over the course of November. If you see this and get inspired to join in, please mention that with a link to your blog in the comments and I’ll be sure to check your blog out and cheer you on, too!

Day 1: My Blog’s Name: www.omaser.com/cassieslaw: Cassie’s Law, A mother’s journey to have legislature passed to protect children from sexually abusive parents…

Omaser.com is my personal domain. The word omaser used to have a personal meaning, but it doesn’t anymore. I keep it around because I’ve had the domain for 20+ years and because I like that it’s a nonsensical word that I don’t see used in other places. When you see that word pop up, it’s almost always attached to me in some way. When I decided to start a blog, I decided to just host it on my own domain instead of hosting it on someone else’s or getting a domain specific to the blog.

Cassie is my daughter Cassandra’s nickname, and the whole concept of this law revolves around my trying to protect Cassie from her sexually abusive biological father. In my own journey, this became bigger than just Cassie and me; this became about every kid who needs a law like this, and for every child who will eventually need a law like this.

A mother’s journey to have legislature passed to protect children from sexually abusive parents… That’s my mission statement in one sentence. I’m about to start fighting for this again, and I’m not going to stop until laws are in place. I’m going to use this blog to document my journey and keep people updated on the good and the bad, and I hope it will also keep me motivated through the tough times. If you read, please do comment and cheer me on so I know I’m not just blogging for myself. And please help me spread the word and raise awareness for Cassie’s Law by sharing these blog posts. Thanks! 🙂
