Devastating CDC cuts axed the childhood lead poisoning prevention team. Milwaukee's plea for help for kids at risk was denied. Official claims of support were false. Our ability to fight lead exposure is crippled. #LeadSafety #CDC #ProtectKids

MAGA teacher in Colorado, David Feil—nicknamed “MR. P*DOPHILE”—was arrested for multiple sexual assaults on 6th graders. The school knew about his behavior, gave only a written warning, and did NOTHING to stop him. This is a betrayal of trust. Children deserve better. #ProtectKids #AccountabilityNow

Florida’s answer to a labor shortage? Rolling back child labor protections.

Kids shouldn’t be exploited to fill economic gaps. But that’s exactly what Florida lawmakers are pushing for.

This is what happens when workers’ rights—and children’s rights—are treated as disposable.

🚨 Smithfield Foods Caught Exploiting Children! 🚨

Minnesota investigators found children as young as 14 working hazardous jobs with dangerous chemicals at Smithfield Foods. The company is paying $2M, but this highlights a disturbing trend: child labor is making a comeback in America.

Corporations like Smithfield must be held accountable.

Ok. Over on #Bluesky, I found what seems to be a brother and sister aged 7 and 9 following me.
They seem to be ‘English teachers’, and I saw a video of them ‘teaching’ some words.
This is very disconcerting to me. A 7 and 9 year old should not be using social media, but should be protecting themselves. Secondly, how does Bluesky explain how these kids were able to sign up to the service?
I reported the account from both my profiles (they had followed both) and blocked. I posted to warn others - but I remember they had already been followed by over a thousand accounts.

Petitions out right now in Colorado asking if a ballot issue should be added in November asking if schools be required to notify parents their children might be trans?

https://www.westword.com/news/colorado-initiative-schools-out-trans-students-to-parents-20630499

Ummm, HELL NO!!!

That said, I will be very disappointed, but not surprised if this makes it into ballot. Do not think it will pass.

"If the political right were actually concerned with the physical and emotional safety of youth as it purports to be, it would support effective firearms safety measures, since gun violence today remains the number one cause of death for young people ages 1-19, at a rate of nearly 5 in every 100,000. Black children are six times more likely to die of gun violence than their peers of other groups."
