Bill To Reform Child Custody Process Moves Forward
Legislation named after a Pennsbury School District student who was tragically murdered is moving forward in Harrisburg.
Senate Bill 78, known as Kayden’s Law, came before the Pennsylvania Senate Judiciary Committee Monday and was voted with bipartisan support out of committee.
Kayden was killed in Philadelphia by her father during a 2018 unsupervised visit. Her father, who killed himself, had a history of threatening actions and a Bucks County judge had approved unsupervised visits. The death of the student of Pennsbury’s Edgewood Elementary School in Lower Makefield Township brought spotlight locally to the child custody process.
