Child advocacy

Keith was present during the sentencing phase for John Couey, who was convicted by a jury of his peers for kidnapping, raping, and murdering Jessica Lunsford. Keith said that he was planning on going to Washington D.C. with Mark Lunsford after the sentencing, to lobby congress for more support of child sexual predator laws.

Keith gave an interview with Tampa Bay ABC affiliate WFTS-TV and was quoted saying this:

One of the great things I said about Mark (Lunsford) is he wants justice and he wants closure in this, he wants justice for his daughter. But what he really wants is to protect children and if we can get child molesters in jail, that's the way you protect children!


Keith is an active member for PROTECT.org which is The National Association to Protect Children association.
