House Bill 4150 Introduced as "Carlie's Law"

On March 30, 2004 Linda Spagnoli, Director of Communications for Code Amber, was invited to Capitol Hill along with Joe Brucia (Carlie's dad), and Ernie Allen (President of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) to support Katherine Harris (R-FL), Nick Lampson (D-TX) and Marsha Blackburn's (R-TN) introduction of "Carlie's Law" legislation.

The legislation strengthens the federal parole system by increasing penalties for repeat offenders. There are also provisions for notification of non-custodial parents when there is criminal activity in the child's home.

Carlie's Law Resources

We have received hundreds of offers from across the country to create organized letter writing campaigns. You can also offer your personal support to Carlie's dad by visitng the "Contact Joe" page at Code Amber. It was an emotional day in Washington, as you can imagine.

Joe Brucia's family is very supportive of his efforts to keep career criminals away from our children. Every letter sent in by the Code Amber family supporting his efforts encourages him to keep pushing harder to get this legislation passed. The experience of this devastating tragedy has brought about a determination to keep other families from experiencing the same pain.
