Two Bucks County Democrats continue to urge Harrisburg to pass Kayden’s Law. The legislation is named for Kayden Mancuso of Lower Makefield Township. At the age of seven, she was tragically killed by her father during a 2018 scheduled custody visit. John Fey covered the progress in the Yardley Patch.

The measure, now championed by Rep. Tina Davis and Rep. Perry Warren, would revise the laws governing child custody visits in Pa. With it comes $25 million in resources to cover the added diligence.

“Kayden’s Law would protect children and ensure that the best interest of the child is the top priority in custody proceedings,” said Rep. Warren.

Rep. Davis commented: “Although we can never right that wrong, we are advocating for reforms, placing more emphasis on the protection of children in order to save lives.”

Reps. Davis and Warren have sponsored the House version of the proposal, an effort in which they worked closely with Kayden’s mother, Kathy Sherlock.

“Kathy Sherlock and her family have been tireless advocates in supporting awareness and legal reform to protect children and save children’s lives,” Rep. Warren said.

“The time has come for Pennsylvania to act and pass Kayden’s Law,” Rep. Davis concluded.

More on this legislative action dedicated to the memory of Kayden Mancuso is at the Yardley Patch.
