The bill requires a consistent standard for reporting child abuse to state officials by the folks we trust most, like teachers, coaches, and doctors. It is an important step to holding all adults responsible for doing their part to stop abusers & neglect before it's too late.

The House overwhelming passed the Violence Against Women Act. Now, it’s time for @senatemajldr to stand up for victims of violence and sexual abuse and bring #VAWA up for a vote. #MMIW #JusticeForNativeWomen
