We support #HB22-1131 which will end the prosecution of children 12 years & younger and empower alternative child-serving systems like mental health, education, and child welfare to address misbehavior and deliver treatment and family supports instead of prosecution. #coleg

#DidYouKnow every year, children 12 and younger are subject to the #juvenilejustice system — most for child-like behavior or minor misbehavior? Community-based programs are safer, cheaper, & more effective. Please support HB22-1131!#coleg #copolitics #RaiseTheFloor

Prosecuting children 12 and younger harms them, disproportionately impacts children of color, AND is more expensive and less effective than alternative interventions. Support HB22-1131 to ensure Colorado children receive the support they need! #coleg #copolitics #RaiseTheFloor

Unnecessary involvement with the justice system can make trauma, family issues, or behavioral problems worse & increase the chance that a child will become system-involved in the future. Help Colorado find a better way & support HB22-1131!
