On August 31st, 2012, the hopes and dreams of an entire family and community came to a tragic end. The horrific events of that morning have devastated Cristina’s entire family and changed forever the lives of countless people. That night, Cristina worked, for the very first time, the night shift at Pathmark, in an effort to earn extra money before starting school the following Wednesday. That same night, a deranged co-worker opened fire. He killed Bryan Breen . . . and he killed Cristina. In a single moment, the lives of many were forever changed. The lingering question is…could this have been prevented?
The family asks you - - friends, family, and fellow human beings who crave security and peace of mind for both themselves and their children - - to please sign this petition. Let’s show the legislature that we will not stand idly by and allow others with criminal intent to gain employment…and an opportunity to wreak havoc on the lives of others.
By signing this petition, you show your support for this family and for “Cristina’s Law”, which will require employers to consult social networking sites as part of the routine background checks they already perform during the process of hiring employees. If responsible employers decline employment to those who have express evil intent; and if responsible employers take the additional step of bringing such intent to the attention of authorities and those in a position to possibly intervene and offer assistance, lives will be saved.
