The situation is urgent and demanding, stressful for families, overwhelming for children, critical for youth who are homeless. Those on the front lines of this fight have our most sincere gratitude, risking their health to care for all of us.
Throughout the state, families and support systems are overwhelmed, stretched by constant, critical needs. Child abuse reports have been down, but child abuse is still happening. Online schooling is impossible for some to access, and challenging for all to negotiate. Students with disabilities are not getting the supports they rely upon. There is no clear way to provide special education services. Youth who are homeless or undocumented have no resources. Children who are incarcerated are at great risk of COVID.
We are at a critical crossroads. There is no long range plan and the state’s children are going to suffer the consequences.
