Enact Malinda’s Law for Child Safety in Pennsylvania

*** begin quote ***

We propose “Malinda’s Law,” a new nation-wide registry for individuals with a history of child abuse. This registry would enable real-time communication between agencies whenever a child-related emergency or abuse report involves a prior offender. By strengthening these lines of communication, we aim to protect innocent children from slipping through the cracks of a broken system.

*** end quote ***

And, why not have such a registry in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee?

I’m a little L libertarian but convicts should be registered.
