Silence has a price and in Florida, it’s a felony. ⚖️
Under Florida Statute 39.205, knowingly and willfully failing to report suspected child abuse, exploitation, abandonment, or neglect is not a slap on the wrist. It is a Third-Degree Felony and applies to EVERYONE. Everyone is required to report by law. Teachers and healthcare workers are required by law and profession.
The Consequences of Inaction:
*Prison: Up to 5 years in state prison.
*Fines: Up to $5,000 in personal fines.
*Record: A permanent felony conviction.
*Institutional Fines: Schools or universities that fail to report can face fines up to $1 million per
violation.
Turning a blind eye doesn't make the problem go away; it makes you a part of it. Protection is the law.

Love this!

Our What Is.... Series - today, INTEROCEPTION.

The hidden sense behind emotional regulation.

If a child seems to “go from 0 to 100” with no warning…

If they melt down suddenly…
If they struggle to tell you what’s wrong until they’re already overwhelmed…

There’s often a hidden sense behind it — interoception.

Today’s one-page visual breaks down what interoception is, why it’s so important for emotional regulation, and how you can gently support a young person whose internal signals feel confusing or too loud.

If you’d like the free parent information sheet to go with it, follow the directions in the visual, ensuring you LIKE the post and I’ll send you the Dropbox link. ⬇️
