HB66


 * Purpose:** The purpose of our bill is to decrease the amount of child abuse cases in America. On a yearly average in America there are over 3.3 million cases reported on child abuse. A little less than 61% of children die from child abuse. Neglect is known to be one of the most common cases of child abuse. Most adults commonly start abusing their children at the age of 4-11 because they think the child can’t do anything about it because they don’t know any better. Parents abuse their children for different reasons which none of them are right. Some reasons are; to release anger, use of drugs, previous experiences as a child, and or their way of disciplining their children. If you are suspecting any cases of child abuse, report them right away because it’s better to be safe than sorry. Our purpose for making this bill is to open the eyes of Americans about child abuse and to limit the amount of child abuse reports.


 * Eligibility:** This bill will affect the guardian of any child. Having the bill affect them will cause many benefits and penalties. Benefits because they will learn from the parenting __classes__ and take the advice given, or penalties because they will not take the advice and continue parenting they way they always have. Not all parents parent in a bad way but some do; some may mentally or physically abuse their child, and that is what we want to stop. An individual will be affected by this bill if one, they are the guardian of a child, two, have been reported for abuse, and three, they are expecting and or having a child. The age can range from the day they have a child or the day they are reported for abusing the child. This bill also affects any person living in the United States.


 * Terms and Benefits:** Our bill Nowhere to Hide… is a bill that will try to decrease the amount of child abuse cases in the U.S. This bill would affect all Americans planning, expecting, or have children. This could range from several ages; and goes towards any person living in the U.S. This 69 bill can cause several benefits and penalties. Some benefits would be, parents would take our advice and parent their children that way; and some penalties would be they would not take our advice and continue to parent their kids the way they do. The government will be enforcing this bill by making a law that all parents expecting, planning, or have children must come to a parenting center. We plan to have this bill be in effect indefinitely; so that way all parents must go through parenting __courses__ to learn how to parent their children the right way.


 * Fiscal Impact:** We will have two teachers per class. There will be three classes every other day; so on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Three classes in the morning and three classes at night for each of those days we provide classes. The teachers will be paid a working wage of $8.00. That will cost $288.00 __dollars__ per week and $15,264.00 a year. Because our bill is indefinite the price will escalate. We also plan on holding a daycare center for the parents that already have children. So that will also increase the pricing.
