🕯️ A Shared Voice for Mimi’s Law


Lit candle glowing in darkness, symbolizing remembrance, unity, and hope for reform under Mimi’s Law.

A single flame can light countless hearts. For Mimi, for justice, for change. đź’”


When I began this journey to advocate for Mimi’s Law, I hoped for awareness — but what I’ve witnessed instead is something even more substantial: unity.

Across Connecticut, people are coming together to demand change after the tragic loss of 12-year-old Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-Garcia, whose life was taken far too soon. The heartbreak of her story has sparked not just one petition, but several — each driven by the same determination to ensure that no child is ever forgotten again.

Recently, I came across another petition started by a fellow advocate, a father who courageously shared his own experience with the failures of our system. His story — and those of others — show that this isn’t just about one case or one child. It’s about all children who fall through the cracks when agencies, courts, and laws fail to protect them.

Whether the message comes from New Britain, Hartford, or beyond, the goal remains the same:

Require in-person welfare checks for homeschooled children

Demand transparency and accountability from DCF

Strengthen oversight in custody decisions

Ensure convicted child abusers can never reside with minors again

Every signature, every share, and every conversation adds to the growing momentum. Mimi’s name is now echoing through the halls of our legislature, across newsrooms, and throughout our communities — a light that cannot be dimmed.

We may have started from different places, but our destination is the same: justice, safety, and reform.
This is not a competition. It’s a collaboration. It’s compassion. It’s a change in motion.

Let’s keep pushing forward — for Mimi, and for every child whose voice was silenced before it could be heard. đź’”
