#PreventACEs by understanding Childhood Emotional Neglect and making sure children and adult children are not subjected to it. TY Dr. Jonice Webb for your leadership in this focus. #EmotionalConnection Matters

Congratulations Tajikistan! @UnicefTajik Now, where is Canada? Not there. We don’t prohibit #CorporalPunishment We could, if we passed #BillC273 House of Commons or #BillS251 Senate of Canada but #ChildRights are not our collective priority, unfortunately. We could #PreventACEs but we don’t.

Disappointing news that with prorogation of Parliament #BillC273 & #BillS251 to fulfill #TRC6 to #Repeal43 & #EndCorporalPunishment in Canada have been abandoned & Canada's children remain at risk. Now we'll have to try a 20th time since 1991 to Respect #ChildRights #PreventACEs
