Dominick's Law Supporters Continue to Fight for Bill
After rally, supporters asking residents to email representatives.
Dominick Calhoun's family and supporters of Dominick's Law held a public rally on Oct. 13 at the Lansing capitol building.
The supporters are continuing to fight to see stiffer penalties for those convicted of child abuse. A copy of the bill, which was presented to Rep. Paul Scott (R-Grand Blanc) on April 28, 2010, is available on Facebook.
Supporters of the law, including the Dominick's Law Facebook Page, are asking residents to email a letter to representatives, asking them to vote yes for the bill.
Dominick's mother, former Tyrone Township resident Corrine Baker, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and second-degree child abuse for her involvement in the boy's death. Baker's boyfriend, Brandon Hayes, awaits trial for murder. Hayes is accused of beating Dominick to death over several days, after the boy accidentally wet himself.

This is disgusting,inhumane,and should be high priority on EVERYONE'S mind!not only is this inhumane but also immature! To handle a situation in such a manner can't even measure the horrific method of parenting performed by this woman and her mate,Government cannot allow this behavior to continue,Dominicks Law must be passed .I urged all of our state representatives,legislation,and government leaders read this carefully and think not only of there own children but of all children in our country, they need is to protect them,for in the future they maybe protecting us!so please take great concideration when deciding on this bill! Thank you!
