New Child Protection Laws In Effect In Pa
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services has launched a new website, KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov to explain the changes in Pennsylvania’s child protection laws that took effect Dec. 31.
“The site includes basic information on recognizing and reporting child abuse, changes to the Child Protective Services Law, and online ChildLine clearances with links to the applicable background check clearances and requirements,” said State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
It should be noted that most organizations directly involved with services for children already have their own stringent background check clearance policies in place. The new law sets minimum requirements, but nothing in this law prohibits organizations from establishing or continuing even more stringent internal policies, Cox said.
Anyone with suspicions that a child is being abused should call the department’s statewide ChildLine hotline at 1-800-932-0313, Cox said.

Someone rolls a few dice and asks how many polar bears there are. The objective is to figure out the system.
“How many polar bears are there?”
Answer: 6.
Let’s try again:
Answer: 4.
Last one pre-spoiler:
Answer: 4.
OK, here’s a hint: “The game is in the name of the game – polar bears around an ice hole – invented in the days of Ghengis Khan.
A clue for you to keep you true – like petals around a rose, you can count each bear’s nose.”
Get it yet?
The system is: Dots in the center represent a water hole, and only dots around a water hole represent polar bears. People tend to try a lot of numerical approaches before realizing the system is about the image of the die rather than the number it represents.
