Blue states look to eliminate mandatory reporting in suspected child abuse, neglect cases. Because...racism.
DENVER, CO - When is equity more important than protecting children from child abuse? If you’re in a liberal mecca, the answer is now, according to a piece in NPR.

At that time, lawmakers believed early intervention would prevent child abuse and, in turn, save lives.

Ask. Tell. Make: A recipe for disaster (and liability) when dealing with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Written by Pat Welsh of PulseLine. As a young police recruit, I was taught the mantra – Ask. Tell. Make. First I will ask you to do something. If you fail or refuse to do so, I will tell you to do it and do it now. If that doesn’t work, I will go hands on and make you do it. Which, I admit, worked effectively most of the time.

NEW YORK CIT, NY - Sources with knowledge about a matter related to Mayor Eric Adams and the civilian oversight board tasked with investigating complaints against the New York Police Department (NYPD) told the New York Post that the mayor is trying to oust the interim chairwoman of the board.
The Washington Post asked DC residents about gun control and crime. The answers probably surprised them.
Originally written by Larry Keane for NSSF. Republished with permission. Skyrocketing crime in major cities was a tragic consequence of the confluence of several factors. There was the coronavirus pandemic, prolonged lockdowns, defund the police riots and the rise in soft-on-crime city prosecutors that refused – and still do – to hold criminals accountable. Just one month ago, The Washington Post editorial board decried a devastating trend in the nation’s Capital that appears at odds with how things are going in other major metropolitans across the country.
