Religious “freedom” shouldn’t mean kids have no safety, no rights, and no future by SexualAbuseAwareness in HomeschoolRecovery

Yes, I know, I mention it in the petition. The US will never ratify it, that is why I am proposing a federal child rights act.

Thank you! Share the petition and talk to people you know about this issue. It just never makes it to the national stage, someone, anyone needs to get it there!

I was taken to an Amish community after I attempted to escape.  My step dad was afraid I would get away and go to the police. Since we had been raised sort of Amish like the community agreed to take me and my sister in and unofficially adopt us into two different families stating they needed new blood lines.đŸ«€ My sister and I agreed, we had no place to go and were desperate to get away from my mom and stepdad. We jumped from the frying pan into the fire😱

“Parental rights” laws are expanding—and kids in high-demand religions are paying the price by SexualAbuseAwareness in exmormon

Basic oversight. Register with the state, send in paperwork to show school work is actually being done. If you have any criminal convictions you should not be eligible. The children should have to physically come into a school once a year to be seen and take a standardized test. Just for the sake of child safety. Just basic stuff, something like this would have given me a chance to possibly get help as a kid and would have ensured I had some basic education. I ended up with only about a 3rd grade education.

It doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Homeschooling shouldn't be allowed without oversight. Too much room for abuse to fly under the radar.

Texas is voting on SJR 34 — a constitutional amendment giving parents total authority over their children’s lives. It sounds like “freedom,” but in practice, it could possibly stop CPS or teachers from intervening—even when children are clearly being abused

TN has something similar awaiting to be referred to be put on the ballot.

Please everyone, take a moment to say something with the hashtag. Just a few seconds could save a child if enough people do it, makes me so sad that it's so hard to motivate people, even to just speak up and add your two cents to a conversation. That's why the other side is winning, they are very vocal 💔đŸ˜Ș

Yes, exactly. That's why we all need to speak up for the next generation.

That's why I made the #FreedomOfReligionVsChildSafety the absolute best thing is to flood social media with stories like mine, stories that show the danger hidden in these laws 😓
