Are you ready to talk about real reform for Idaho’s family courts and CPS? We’re diving deep into the lack of accountability in the system and, more importantly, how we fix it.

Whether you’ve followed Kristine McCreery’s story or you’re concerned about parental rights in our state, you won't want to miss this conversation between Kristine and Rep. Lucas Cayler.

We’re pulling back the curtain on the human cost of a flawed system, beginning with Kristine McCreery’s harrowing 15-month battle against unsubstantiated claims that kept her family apart. This isn't just about sharing a story; it’s about the legislative fix, as Rep. Lucas Cayler outlines his plan to push for the guardrails and due process necessary to protect parental rights.

Most importantly, we’ll discuss how your voice can help us work together to ensure that Idaho families are no longer unnecessarily torn apart.

The system only changes when we show up.

In liberty, with firm reliance on our Creator,

It’s time to pull back the curtain on Idaho’s family court and child welfare systems. For too many families, the system that should provide safety is instead inflicting trauma.

Join Rep. Lucas Cayler and Kristine McCreery, Founder of Parents Objective With Essential Rights, for a powerful session of Capitol Clarity.

Kristine McCreery isn’t just an advocate; she’s a survivor of the system. After a harrowing 15-month legal battle to reunite with her teenage son over unsubstantiated allegations, she’s turning her pain into policy.

Her story highlights a dangerous gap in our laws: the total lack of accountability for false or bad-faith reports.

Rep. Lucas Cayler is leading the charge in the Idaho House to establish the guardrails our state desperately needs. It’s time to fight for a system where parental rights are protected, due process isn't an afterthought, and clear evidence is required before a family is torn apart.

Our children deserve safety, and our parents deserve justice. Let’s make sure the system finally serves both.

In liberty, with firm reliance on our Creator,
