PA: PA Senate passes Kayden’s Law, mandating judges put child safety first in custody judgements (Includes video)
Bucks County Courier Times – June 24, 2021
A bill aimed at making a child’s welfare and safety a primary concern in custody disputes passed the state Senate on Thursday. Senate Bill 78, known as Kayden’s Law, would require judges to consider criminal convictions in custody disputes and recommends courts across the state implement child and domestic abuse training for judges and court personnel. The bill is named after Kayden Mancuso, the 7-year-old Lower Makefield girl who was murdered by her biological father during an unsupervised, court-ordered overnight visit in August 2018. Jeffrey Mancuso then committed suicide.
