Episode Details

Connecticuts Appropriations Committee passed Senate Bill six, but removed a crucial homeschooling oversight section. This follows the arrest of a father after his daughters death, following her removal from public school. Currently, parents can homeschool with minimal state oversight. The deleted Section five would have alerted Child Protective Services to potential abuse cases. Opponents argued it violated federal privacy rules, potentially costing the state education funds. Some Republicans suggest reforming Child Protective Services, while others doubt laws can prevent abuse. The bill now heads to the full Senate with no public debate, leaving concerns about protecting at-risk kids unaddressed.
