Subject: | CLAY - Co-Sponsorship - Resolution designating August 11 through 17, 2013 as "Child Safety Week in Pennsylvania" |
In the near future, I plan to introduce a resolution designating August 11 through 17, 2013, as Child Safety Week in Pennsylvania. The safety of children in the Commonwealth is of the utmost importance, and informing the public of risks and preventative measures is part of ensuring that safety. There are many steps that can be taken to prevent child injury to keep our children safe. Being a good role model, by wearing a seat belt, using a helmet, and following other safety tips, is an important first step to keeping children safe. Pennsylvania is one of the states with the lowest rates of child injury death, 4.0 to 10.9 per 100,000 children ages zero to nineteen, but there is still more we can do. Please join me in designating August 11 through 17, 2013, as Child Safety Week in the Commonwealth, to further the proliferation of knowledge regarding the risks to, and preventative measures for, the safety of children. |
