Chelsea King: More than just a Facebook page

Facebook is used for many different reasons depending on who you talk to, from games to gossip to networking. Some people use it to spread information about an important topic, such as the case involving Chelsea King, who was abducted while running in the afternoon. Sadly, she was found days later dead not too far away from where she was abducted. This tragic event was what prompted Chelsea King’s parents to create Chelsea’s Law in the state of California. With enormous support from the surrounding communities, a Facebook page was made to keep people informed with things. Such as event to remember Chelsea life or updates on getting the law passed and the next step. Chelsea’s Law was passed in the state of California and the parents’ of Chelsea King do give credit the people on Facebook who “liked” the page and helped support the law. Facebook was a huge contributor to informing people about the law and making it known how to help the cause.

“The central principle of Chelsea’s Law is that violent sexual predators who attack children cannot be rehabilitated and therefore should not be given a second chance to harm another child. This is the portion of Chelsea’s Law known as the one-strike penalty (life in prison without the possibility of parole) for the most violent sex offenders who prey on children.”
