Thank you to all who have signed & shared. I have gotten some calls and or letters from members of our General Assembly. Please continue to share. We must advocate for those who can not advocate for themselves.

Thank you for your support. Please continue to share. It is critical to get a strong law in place that punishes mandated reporters who choose not to report all forms of abuse of our special needs & elderly. Many of our special needs & elderly have no one to advocate for them & many agencies do not report abuse or rape to law enforcement or Adult Social Services.
