Indiana Governor and Vice Presidential Candidate Mike Pence’s Religious Freedom signature law RFRA allows beating 7 year old’s with a coat hanger leaving bruises and bleeding severe enough to cause the child’s doctor to have mom arrested.
It will be a very sad thing an Indiana Court uses Pence’s law to rule that bibles can be used to torture and traumatize children.
A few years ago I spoke to adoptive parents in Indiana where the prior Governor, Mitch Daniels redirected the funding promised to families adopting special needs children (after the adoptions were completed) to his appointees in social services who could cut the most from social services programs.
Mitch was also running for Vice President at the time. My conversations with those families were really sad (really, really sad).
For the second time in just 3 election cycles, Indiana Governor’s have shown children just how little they matter to the State.
Tiny stepping stones to higher political office; kids can’t vote and only make the media under the most tragic of circumstances. A clear win for Indiana Governor’s (and a few other states too).
If there is a silver lining in Indiana Governor’s political abuse of children, it is that Indiana’s helpless kids are the only youth voice in America’s most important political battle (there is no other meaningful child friendly discourse in our presidential election).
Know anyone in Indiana? Share this with them and suggest that using children as political stepping stones should be a crime.
All Adults are the Protectors of All Children
Can you guess which MN Governor/s said “Children that are the victims of failed personal responsibility are not my problem nor are they the problem of the State of Minnesota”?
