Why does #PA need independent Office of Child Advocate? Last week Ossoff's Office & Sen. Marsha Blackburn leveraged #Senate rules 4 "review of matters related 2 youth safety & well-being in #fostercare". Senators acted b/c #Georgia #ChildAdvocate raised red flag. ossoff.senate.gov/press-releases…

Growing bipartisan efforts in PA Senate Republicans PA Senate Democratic Caucus 2 create independent Office of Child Advocate. #PA has 1 already via exec. order BUT scope of work/authority uncertain. @https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/Legis/CSM/showMemoPublic.cfm?chamber=S&SPick=20230&cosponId=39347

Thank you ⁦Wawa⁩ for giving kids and families the chance to explore and embrace Black History ⁦National Constitution Center⁩ without cost.

In 2020, Rep. Joanna McClinton joined the annual Child Protection Summit. The view from diverse participants @ McClinton - "she gets it". PA children, youth & families are lucky that this historical moment elevates a friend to children to serve as Speaker of PA House. Joanna McClinton

Exactly the signal of hope, equity and opportunity every PA child needs right now.

Partnering with Berks ARL, informed by our LINK partners Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect (PCAR) PCADV Humane PA PA Chapter, American Acad Peds LinkCoalition, to engage with #childwelfare in Berks County on how we can be on the lookout for and intervening with neglect or abuse of animals and humans. #KeystoneLINK #protectall

Key shared reality check - calls to #childwelfare or animal protection - more likely 2B @ “broader social and systemic challenges” (not abuse per se). Protecting families & pets related 2 basic needs. ⁦Berks ARL⁩ embraces human-animal-support-services. ⁦Humane PA⁩

We say it all the time we have GREAT things and people doing solid work and research to protect children. The work they are doing builds the evidence and underscores preventing child sexual abuse is not only possible but must be a PA priority.

May these children, extended family & a traumatized community be in our 🙏🏻. when Governor Josh Shapiro unveils budget & rightly lifts up nurses & law enforcement workforce issues, important to remember what we expect of #childwelfare workforce. SEIU Local 668 Sen. Judy Schwank CCAP

Watching to see if and in what way children like Romin get some spotlight in Governor Josh Shapiro budget. What happens to children at home, how families navigate tough times all enters the school building when kiddos go to school. Can’t talk schools w/out addressing childhood trauma.

Contagious energy, history in the making as Rep. Joanna McClinton introduces Austin Davis and they along with Sen. Kim Ward (also a history maker) await 1st budget from Governor Josh Shapiro Hope the Gov’s budget and budget bingo card have children all over it!

As Governor Josh Shapiro talks #childcare a little PSA. A child connected 2 safe, quality & affordable child care = child protection. Kiddos especially kids ( 0-2) experience critical, life ending incidents b/c they are left in care of unprepared person while parent works. #prevention

Let’s remember that “taking action to prevent violence & stop cycle of anger and grief that is swallowing our communities” linked back to stability of families, housing stability, safe environments for children, & reducing childhood trauma. Governor Josh Shapiro

Investment in public defenders as sought by Governor Josh Shapiro is investment in children who have a parent connected to criminal justice system, often for non violent offenses, which then often leads child to spend time in #fostercare

This recent report underscores importance of supporting children with an incarcerated parent.

PA must act to reduce maternal mortality - we agree Governor Josh Shapiro. We also can’t overlook role of substance use disorders & fragile access 2 treatment & recovery during pregnancy & postpartum. We also have 2 stop overlooking child morbidity& mortality here in PA. #offradar

“We need to listen to our children” especially as it relates to mental health. Absolutely spot on Governor Josh Shapiro

We rightfully recognize #ChildAbusePreventionMonth with messages of carefree childhoods and supporting parents but we must not turn away from the harsh reality of how often PA children and youth experience violence (lethal violence) in their own homes. montcopa.org/DocumentCenter…

The hi montco dps murder of an 11-year-old boy will leave many traumatized, notably young people who can not conceivably understand a classmate, friend's death let alone so violently and at the hands of a parent. Highmark Caring Place has great resources @ grief for children.
