VERDIGRIS, Okla. – Two fathers in Green Country are rallying to change the law after their children fell victim to a tragic murder-suicide committed by their mother. The incident took place in July last year when Brandy McCaslin, during a supervised visitation, killed 9-month-old Billy, 5-year-old Bryce, and 11-year-old Noe.
In response to this heartbreaking loss, Noe and Billy’s dads, Ryan McGee and Billy Jacobson, are spearheading a new senate bill, Senate Bill 1756, in hopes of implementing changes to assist other children and families. Dubbed as The Three Angels Law, their aim is to reform the current procedures of supervised custody.
Carrying a photo of his daughter Noe everywhere he goes, McGee described her as an amazing and all-around awesome kid. He expressed that her life was unjustly cut short, leaving an irreplaceable void in his heart.
Throughout the grieving process, McGee and Jacobson found solace in each other, coming together to channel their grief into action. They firmly believe that the system had failed them in the lead-up to the tragic incident, and they hope that through their efforts, similar tragedies can be prevented in the future.
The proposed bill entails the implementation of mandatory training for those supervising visitations, as well as the requirement for mental health or addiction treatment in order for custody or visitation rights to be granted. By addressing these crucial areas, they hope to prevent similar incidents in the future and provide a safer environment for children during supervised visits.
As the bill moves through the legislative process, the fathers remain committed to their cause, using their personal tragedy as a driving force for change. They both agree that while their efforts may not bring back their children, they are determined to make a positive impact and prevent other families from enduring similar heartbreak.
