At our June Board Meeting, we said "thank you" to Sgt. Zack Morris (@kystatepolice) who is stepped down as our Board President. Zack will still be on our Board, and we are thankful for his service, knowledge, and continued insights!
The Kids Are Worth It!® Conference is turning 30! We’re celebrating 3 decades of strengthening families and preventing child abuse across Kentucky. Join us Sept. 14-15 in Lexington for a little 90s nostalgia and a lot of impact! Register at the link in bio.
We were honored to attend the signing of HB 4, a key PCAK 2026 policy priority. HB 4 creates the offense of “grooming a minor,” helping law enforcement intervene earlier to protect children. Thank you to Rep. @MarianneProc60 and SOS @Adams4SecState for their leadership.
Just saw @kyoag successfully defend a law requiring registered child sex offenders to use their full name on social media. Thank you, Attorney General Russell Coleman! The ruling came from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit kind of a big deal
