The recent string of violence has senators this week introducing legislation to help keep the community safe. We told you about a couple from senators Shawn Gumataotao and Telo Taitague, and now a series of bills have been proposed by Senator William Parkinson, as he agrees the public is fed up.

"Enough is enough" is Parkinson's sentiment after introducing a series of public safety bills on Friday.

Here's a list of the measures:

- BILL 105 would prohibit parole for individuals convicted of violent and sexual offenses, mandating they serve their full prison terms
- BILL 106 would require prosecutors to provide proof that a victim has been notified before any plea agreement is accepted by the court
- BILL 107 would establish criminal liability for parents or guardians who negligently fail to supervise minors that commit crimes
- BILL 108 would authorize the Guam Customs & Quarantine Agency to enter a public-private partnership for 100% screening of all incoming cargo at ports of entry

KUAM spoke with Senator Parkinson about why this is a priority, to which he replied, "We want the people of Guam to know that we are going to cut off all of these avenues that are leaking crime into our community. We are going to have enhanced screenings at the port, we are going to make sure parents stop neglecting their children and allowing them to fall to the wayside not through any malice but through something as simple as neglect. We want to make sure that victims have a seat a the table whenever deals and plea bargains are being made near and dear to the heart."

He continued, "I think about what it was like when I was growing up – how safe it was in the neighborhood for kids to be kids. I would just walk around and bike around…that’s not the world we live in anymore. It’s a world I wish we could go back to where that when my daughter grows old enough she can walk on the streets safely and I don’t have to worry about her. Right now it’s like we are in a shelter in place situation basically all the time. That is not the Guam I grew up in. That is not the Guam I want my children to grow up in and that is why I put these series of bills out there because I want to make sure that we close these gaps, we close these leaks where we are just allowing crime to spill out into our community. Enough is enough."

Now, it's a matter of these proposed bills getting a public hearing and feedback from you - the community.
