North Carolina Senator Sydney Batch Pushes Forward Fostering Care in NC Act

Idea Category: Child Care

North Carolina Senator Sydney Batch, a longtime child welfare advocate and family lawyer, was recognized by NewDEALer Gov Josh Stein as he signed the Fostering Care in NC Act. “This bill protects our most vulnerable children and strengthens our child welfare system. I applaud the provisions of this bill that better protect children from abuse and neglect, empower a rapid response team to support those receiving mental health treatment, and help more kids stay with their family members. I thank the bill sponsors, Representatives Chesser, Bell, Loftis and Alston, for their work, as well as Senator Sydney Batch for her years of dedication to this issue,” Stein said. Adding on to Batch’s strong legislative record, HB612 will strengthen protections against child abuse and support children in mental health treatment.
