A bipartisan piece of legislation has been reintroduced in the state Senate to clarify to courts that the safety and welfare of children is placed above all other issues in child custody cases.
Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Luzerne/Pikc/Susquehanna/Wayne/ Wyoming, and Sen. Steven J. Santarsiero, D-Bucks, have introduced Senate Bill 78, known as Kayden’s Law in memory of Kayden Mancuso.

The legislation is named after Kayden Mancuso, 7-year-old Lower Makefield girl who was murdered by her biological father during an unsupervised court-ordered overnight visit in August 2018. The father then committed suicide.
Eighty large grocery bags stood at attention on two adjoining tables inside the New Britain Baptist Church Food Larder, their contents peeking out of the tops much like combat soldiers lifting their eyes to the rim of a foxhole. Boxes of pasta and packets of rice, and cans of beans, vegetables, and soup, boxed packets of instant hot chocolate and more on standby, prepared to fend off winter’s chill for food insecure families and individuals throughout the community.
The shelf life of the sustenance carries with it an expiration date. So, too, and sadly, does the married couple there that has served as the driving force behind feeding the hungry in and around Central Bucks for nearly a quarter-century.
Given Donald Trump’s malignant narcissism, a self-centered psychological disorder that offers him the twisted belief the only reason dawn breaks each day is to shine upon him, it is not unreasonable to believe he enjoyed every moment of the violence exploding in his name at the US Capitol.
One can imagine Trump bunkered down in front of a television at the White House just two miles away, nodding and smiling as thugs, many waving Trump flags, broke the law by breaking into the hall of democracy, interrupting the Congress debating the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory over Trump, who instigated the mob with his repeated and unfounded claims of massive voter fraud during the presidential election.
