A "BLACK AND BLUE" DAY FOR CALIFORNIA CHILDREN
June 1, 2007

HOW SAD THAT YESTERDAY CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS FAILED TO PASS A MODEST PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN, ASSEMBLY BILL 755. THE BILL WOULD HAVE MADE IT EASIER TO PROSECUTE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN, THE LEADING CAUSE OF PHYSICAL ABUSE. SHAME ON CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS FOR "STANDING DOWN" FOR CHILDREN. THANK YOU TO ASSEMBLY WOMAN SALLY LIEBER FOR BRINGING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE TO PUBLIC ATTENTION. LET'S HOPE THIS BILL IS REVIVED IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND HAS A BETTER OUTCOME!

NADINE BLOCK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR EFFECTIVE DISCIPLINE AND CO-CHAIR OF EPOCH-USA 155 W MAIN STREET #1603, COLUMBUS, OH 43215 (614) 221-8829
