I urge you to support this important legislation to protect kids who are particularly vulnerable in police interrogations. As the law stands now, there is no effective enforcement mechanism when children’s parents are not notified.

Hb266 vote yes. Law enforcement should have to follow current law and if they don't, the child's statements shouldn't be used in court
