The Unity for Children Bill
When it comes to child’s best interests, we should not take chances and hope for the best
As part of Unity for Children's mission, we aim to rewrite laws to ensure that children are always treated with priority, especially in cases involving Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Neglecting these issues inadvertently puts our children at risk during their most vulnerable times.
Now is the moment to reevaluate current approach, enforce already effective laws, and establish sustainable systems that prioritize the best interests of our children. It is our responsibility to create nurturing environments for children today, breaking the harmful intergenerational cycle in our society. Doing so will enable our children and society at large to flourish in the years to come.
While children age, their childhood remains with them forever.
The Unity for Children Bill aims to ensure an ongoing, proactive commitment to holistically safeguard children through policies, programs, and systems, rather than reactive response to crises that comes with great cost and irreversible consequences.
THE UNITY FOR CHILDREN BILL
While this bill is still in progress for submission, we would like to share with you some of the items in consideration for The Unity for Children Bill:
Require courts to order (the party and its agents to provide) and take as evidence all certified medical and traffic records relevant to substance abuse of a party when children are involved.
Monitor and require on-going EVIDENCE based training to court professionals on subject matters such as adverse childhood experience, substance abuse, and violence.
Require courts to include on an enforceable order safeguards benefitting the children during parenting time with a parent with proven history of domestic violence and substance abuse:
Random substance monitoring and testing.
Proactive plan including supervised visitation, breathalyzer test (with facial recognition and reporting functionality), and/or urine test within 24 hours.
