PA State Rep. Aaron Bernstine, Donna M. Kshir, and Lee Cougardawn Roberts sit down with Laurie Ann Smith, on The Whole Issue, to discuss opening the Pennsylvania Central Registry to the public to help protect children and save children's lives. Aaron Bernstine serves in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from the 8th District. After learning about the proposal that Donna and Lee have been working on for 9+ years, Aaron followed up with Donna to support this proposal. I am so honored to host this amazing discussion with Aaron, Donna, and Lee. It is my hope that more people will get involved to help protect children because they have no voice and cannot protect themselves. We need everyone's voice in support of saving children's lives. Thank you for your support through the years!!
