Another Senator has come out in support of Jayden's Law. Senator David Yates of Louisville told WAVE TV that he supports Jayden's Law.
“Our children are something that have got to be a priority,” said State Senator David Yates, who represents District 37. “Unfortunately, Kentucky always ranks high in abuse and neglect, and I think as a community, we’ve got to make sure that it’s better addressed", he said.
This brings our total of legislators who support our bill to at least four: Representatives Jared Bauman and Steve Riley and Senators Brandon Smith and David Yates.
Terry Brooks, executive director of Kentucky Youth Advocates, says he too supports Jayden's Law.
