I believe that including them in this bill is the first step to raising awareness. I think the first piece is that children are invisible. They're often forgotten about in this conversation. Including them in this bill is a start. That subsequently will create a platform for advocacy to build supports across the country.
I already am contacted by families across the country. We provide some virtual support, but there is a need to provide this type of support across the country. I truly believe it is one of the most effective ways we can reduce the cycle of trauma and criminality.
