I spoke with @guardian about the growing trend of prosecuting parents for harms caused by their children — and the broader questions these cases raise about punishment, prevention, and family regulation.

In the @nytimes , I discuss how parental liability prosecutions can serve to absolve the state of its own failures.

My forthcoming @YaleLJournal article "Guilt by Parenthood" dives deeper.

Happy to share that Developmental Evidence Rules is forthcoming in the California Law Review! What would it mean to take childhood seriously in evidence law? This article takes up that question.

@BruceLesley thanks for sharing!!

[Nila Bala @ProfNila]

Thrilled to share that Guilt by Parenthood has found a home with the Yale Law Journal. This piece examines parental liability and parental rights, and how they are connected by a shared logic that harms children and families. Thank you to those who helped!

[Nila Bala @ProfNila]

@BruceLesley Absolutely!

[Nila Bala @ProfNila]

@BruceLesley Not out until much later in the year!

[Nila Bala @ProfNila]

@PhilipPanass @la_louve_rouge_ Yes! I'm enjoying reading Solidarity with Children right now.

My latest article, Policing Children’s Data, is out today. It offers a comprehensive look at how law enforcement accesses children’s digital information and challenges the assumption that parental consent is enough to protect kids’ privacy.

My new essay is in the University of Chicago Law Review Online: “Children and the Cars That Watch Them.”

Autonomous vehicles promise freedom for kids, but also bring unprecedented surveillance.
Parental consent isn’t enough; we need substantive limits.

@dianareddy I use an Ipad with a pen and good notes and a screen thing on top so it feels like paper! I can talk more off-line too if helpful.
