For months now, I have been writing about Kelsey Briggs, the two year old girl who was beaten to death in the home of her mother and stepfather, despite pleas from her grandparents that DHS in Oklahoma intervene. It's been one of those stories that break your heart, no matter how many times you read about it.
Sadly, there is nothing we can do now to save Kelsey, her life was cruelly ended and we are unable to change that- or take away the pain and suffering she experienced during her short life. Our option now is to decide if we will ignore her death, or if we will let it move us to prevent this from happening to another child.
I don't care if you live within Oklahoma or not, this is your call to stand up and demand that the Kelsey Briggs Child Protection Act be approved. Flood those on Oklahoma's House Committee with emails and phone calls. You voice counts, and if you keep it silent, than you become responsible for not actively fighting for the lives of our nations children.
For more information on what you can do to help, or for contact information on who to contact please see Kelsey's Purpose.

The Kelsey Briggs Child Protection Act is currently being discussed in a state House committee. The last major change to Oklahoma's Child Welfare Laws was in 1997. The Ryan Luke Law, named for another victim of fatal child abuse, reorganized DHS priorities, ordering case workers to respond within 24 hours on reports involving children under age three.
