CORE Supports Legislation H.R. 911
CORE supports federal legislation H.R. 911, “Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2009,” and is working with policymakers to ensure the federal government holds states accountable for implementing standards rather than create a system of dual oversight – federal and state – as the bill currently requires.
Families, judges, social workers, and school guidance counselors must be assured that the safety and well-being of youth in all residential programs are protected. Passed in the House on February 23, 2009, this bill is currently being considered in the Senate.
