1. When a felonious assault is committed as defined by Section 2903.11 of the Ohio Revised Code and results in a traumatic brain or spine injury to another that results in a persistent vegetative state, minimally conscious state or irreversible paralysis; the offense should be deemed a felony of the First Degree.

2.Given the significant impact upon the victim, the penalty for felonious assault that causes a traumatic brain or spine injury to another that results in a persistent vegetative state, minimally conscious state or irreversible paralysis; will warrant life in prison without the possibility of parole.

3. Amend the language in Section 2903.01 of the Ohio Revised Code which currently states:

“No person shall purposely cause the death of another who is under thirteen years of age at the time of the commission of the offense.”

To read as:

“No person shall cause the death of another by physical force or use of a deadly weapon or instrument, who is under 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense.”

4. Amend Section 2919.22 of the Ohio Revised Code to stipulate that a child care provider shall be held accountable for child endangering if they neglect their duties and responsibilities of care; and leave the child in the charge of an unauthorized provider or individual under 18 years of age, without expressed consent of the child's parent or legal guardian and they shall receive criminal penalties in the event that the child is the victim of abuse, significant bodily harm or death.
