A recent L.A. Times, in-depth article headlined an inmate's murder, within the confines of the LA County Jail, who controlled the inmate population despite & thru his confinement.
The basis for Piqui's law is the death of Piqui despite the pleading to the court by his mother of the unsafe situation with the biological father. Aramazd Andressian Jr "Piqui" ("little one") was suffocated to death while sleeping in the backseat of his father's car in 2017, after going to Disneyland.

The bill, introduced in February 2023, is currently in the Judicial Committee. Bill Status - SB-331 Child custody: child abuse and safety. (ca.gov)
Piqui's law would require the Judicial Council to establish judicial training programs, which would be partially federally funded, for:
- individuals
- judges and judges pro-tem, who perform duties in family law matters including, among other topics:
- child sexual abuse
- coercive control
Statistics were also cited in the text of the bill:

- A child’s risk of abuse increases after a perpetrator of intimate partner violence separates from a domestic partner, even when the perpetrator has not previously directly abused the child.
- Children in the United States who have witnessed intimate partner violence are approximately four times more likely to experience direct child maltreatment than children who have not witnessed intimate partner violence.
- More than 75 percent of child sexual abuse in America is perpetrated by a family member or a person known to the child.
