This bill, also known as the Jenna Quinn Law, is a complete joke. It claims to protect children from sexual abuse by requiring schools to implement prevention programs, but in reality, it does very little to address the root causes of abuse. It's just another band-aid solution that fails to hold perpetrators accountable or provide real support for survivors. This bill is a missed opportunity to make meaningful change in our society. The big picture here is that we need comprehensive, evidence-based policies to truly address the issue of child sexual abuse.
