In recognition of Bullying Prevention Month, a powerful and unprecedented event is taking place in Elkhart, Indiana — one that could reshape how our state protects its children. For the first time, child safety–focused organizations from across Indiana are coming together to launch the Indiana Child Safety Campaign, a bold, parent- and community-led movement calling for child safety to become the top legislative and budgetary priority across every branch of state government.
