Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 8, 2010
I rise in support of S. 3817, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Reauthorization of 2010. Abuse, neglect, and fatalities are significant concerns for all of us in this Nation, and I am proud that we are addressing this today. As a nurse for over 30 years, I have seen firsthand the risks and illnesses that can result due to abuse and neglect. A concern which surfaced during the hearing in my subcommittee when we held a hearing on this topic was that child abuse does not respect State lines. As a result of the hearing, I introduced a bill called Protecting Children Across State Lines Act. I am proud to have provisions of my bill included in the CAPTA legislation. My provisions do two things. One, they require data to be collected showing which reports are screened out on the basis of multiple State authorities being involved.
