My first story! @COFCCA report shows "crisis-levels" of workforce turnover among New York child welfare workers. Most troubling – how this can impact a foster child's long-term mental health and future life, according to social workers and advocates. imprintnews.org/top-stories/…

26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK. #Uvalde
