Kayden’s Law, named after a Pennsylvania girl who was bludgeoned to death by her father with a 35-pound dumbbell in 2018, has received rare near-unanimous bipartisan support as a critical measure to protect abused children.

Not even the longstanding federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which the bill for Kayden’s Law would amend, enjoys such rare, politically non-divisive support.
