Washington’s current reunification laws are failing kids. Parents’ rights are being prioritized over the safety of children with clear evidence of abuse—and children are being sent back into homes where they’re terrified. I started a petition to push Washington lawmakers to amend these laws so that a child’s safety becomes the primary consideration, not an afterthought. This isn’t about stripping parental rights away—it’s about making those rights contingent on ensuring the child is actually safe. We’re asking for better training for social workers to spot abuse, mandatory counseling, and real follow-ups before any reunification happens. If you’ve seen or experienced how broken this system can be, or if you think a kid’s right to grow up without fear should matter more than anything else, consider signing and sharing. What would you want someone to do if this was your family? submitted by /u/Hopeful-Standard-826 |
