Thank you @senbartolotta for calling for an end to prosecuting children as adults in PA at today's #PAYouthSafetyCaucus press conf, and highlighting that direct file is a "staggering waste of money and human resources". We must #TreatKidsAsKids in PA! #carenotcontrol.

Thank you for your leadership on this, @senbartolotta! We know keeping children out of adult courts + prisons makes all of our communities safer in the long run.
Thank you to @WmBrangham of @NewsHour for highlighting this important issue and my legislative proposal which is intended to end the automatic charging of juveniles as adults in certain crimes.
