NEW PODCAST—Having police in schools is meant to keep students and teachers safe. But some districts have changed their police presence due to concerns about unequal treatment of students based on race, gender, and disability. Our new podcast looks at K-12 arrest rates: https://lnkd.in/efVeRcbn

It is really important for justice systems to hold perpetrators accountable; yes, even adolescents and teens who create and spread AI-generated CSAM of classmates. Accountability changes behavior. It sends a message. It's not a cure-all but it is an essential component to prevention (yes, prevention); not to mention, now these girls have some measure of justice and their harm formally acknowledged by the court. The convicted should also be required to make financial reparations to the survivors. https://lnkd.in/grwhn9P2

Often, the survivors whose stories best fit the mainstream narrative, or whose stories are the most sensational, are the ones invited to share their stories. When this kind of echo chamber is reinforced, we lose access to the stories that might better inform our work to end trafficking. Who gets left out? Survivors who were trafficked by parents or other family members, survivors of forced criminality, survivors who don't regret having done sex work or felt like it saved their lives, those who were trafficked by government officials, and more. When we only hear the same stories over and over, we create incomplete or even harmful "solutions" and miss opportunities to have a meaningful impact. The survivors interviewed in this story largely agreed that education about trafficking was a primary motivator for their storytelling, but education to DISRUPT rather than expand on mainstream narratives.

Human, authentic. continually optimistic bringing only good to my clients. Interesting, happy, investigative reporter
Our Education system is broken and is failing American children 😢 #wecandobetter ------- CBS News and Stations U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary for the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights, said the number of elementary school arrests and referrals was "enormously distressing." "My heart is broken when I know that those kinds of circumstances take place, period." Llamon said. "And we are examining whether there's a civil rights component to it that needs to be addressed as part of our job in the Civil Rights Office of the Department of Education." The data, published on Nov. 15, is the only national survey of civil rights at schools in the country. It highlighted a range of disparities faced by students of color and students with disabilities, including access to more advanced curriculum, internet availability, and school discipline. Last year, CBS News reported on arrests in elementary schools using similar data from the 2017-2018 school year. That year, CBS News counted more than 700 arrests in grades 1 through 5. That data showed children with disabilities in elementary school were 4 times more likely to be arrested at school than those without disabilities. This latest data shows similar disparities: those with disabilities such as ADHD or autism were still four times more likely to be arrested at school. The same was true for students of color, who were arrested at more than twice the rate of white students. https://lnkd.in/gSPRSztv
New data: Over 100 elementary-aged children arrested in U.S. schools

This updated map delineates the legislative risks concerning laws aimed at transgender adults in the United States. States like Florida have eliminated 80% of all trans adult care, adults can be thrown in jail for using the bathroom of their gender identity, and trans people with correct gender markers on their drivers licenses can be charged with fraud. Multiple states have passed laws ending all legal recognition for trans people. As such, adult risk levels for trans people are now tracked on its own map. Moves in this update: New Hampshire (Medium Risk → High Risk), Alabama (High Risk → Worst Laws), Mississippi (High Risk → Worst Laws) Please support Erin Reed by subscribing to her updates and contributing

Some recent work by Internet Matters Ltd, speaking to 11-17 year olds about 'self generated' child sexual abuse material has really highlighted huge barriers in effectively educating and deterring children from creating and sharing sexual images, with young people being clear about what has to change in the approach - smaller, gender-based group work preferred, using peer learning approaches, learning though games, and learning from those with lived experience #onlinesafety #internet #onlineharms #education #prevention #childprotection #safeguarding #onlinesafetyact #nspcc #childline #teaching #livedexperience #everychildhood

NEW: Hundreds of bills have aimed to prevent trans teens from using certain bathrooms, teachers from using kids’ preferred names or pronouns, student-athletes from competing on the teams they feel comfortable on and medical providers from prescribing gender-affirming medical care. Some states have even tried to lock up parents, medical personnel, educators and others for providing gender-affirming health care to minors and adults. Some lawmakers refer to trans lives as a “woke social experiment” or “left-wing gender insanity.” Partly because of this rhetoric, trans and gender-expansive people are disproportionately targeted by violence — inside and outside the criminal justice system. Amid the noise, we rarely hear from trans people themselves, especially those who are incarcerated. In this Life Inside by Beth Schwartzapfel, you can listen to four voices and view illustrations by Chris Cortez that portray each person as they would want to be seen.

New research suggests inadequate support and prolonged waiting times for diagnostic assessments for children with special education needs and disabilities is increasing their vulnerability to #criminalexploitation ➡️7,432 referrals to the goverment were made last year in relation to potentially exploited children. ➡️51% of those referrals involved criminal exploitation and 15% sexual exploitation. ➡️Evidence suggests a significant proportion of these cases involved children with special educational needs and disabilities. https://lnkd.in/eWJkMinC

An excellent reminder for #DisabilityPrideMonth -- those with disabilities in jail and prison are overrepresented and need adequate support. Read more in this new episode of Abt Global's #TheIntersect.
Did you know? About 40 percent of adults who are in jail and about 30 percent of adults in prison report that they have a disability, while only about 10 percent of adults in the general community report the same. Tune into #TheIntersect episode where Drs. Jennifer Bronson, PhD, MS and Hassan Enayati discuss ways to improve justice outcomes for people with disabilities: https://lnkd.in/eV7weaMq #DisabilityPrideMonth
