Today is the first annual #DayoftheHomeschooledChild, which is started by @ResponsibleHS to memorialize those who have been harmed or killed because of homeschool deregulation and parental rights extremism.
I was a homeschooled child who experienced educational neglect.
In 48 states it is legal for a documented, confirmed child abuser to homeschool their children.
So many of the deaths we document at hsinvisiblechildren.org occurred when a CPS case was opened and children were withdrawn from school to evade oversight and accountability.
