A conversation with the survivor behind "Erin's Law," the bill headed to DeWine's desk that requires abuse education in schools

Update: 2022-12-19

Description

"Erin's Law" is a law in several states around the country that requires age-appropriate abuse education aimed at helping kids know the red flags of potential predators. It's named after Erin Merryn, an abuse survivor from Chicago. In this edition of the 21 News Podcast, Madison Tromler speaks to Merryn about what it took to get the bill passed in Ohio and why she says this was the hardest state to get it done.
