This Kitty is clawing for child safety reforms

Background

In this episode, you’ll meet Kitty Mayo, mother, founder of Georgia Protective Parents and a tireless child safety advocate & legislative drafter.

It’s her personal experience with Georgia’s family court system that transformed her into one of the state’s most determined champions for child safety reform.

After witnessing, first-hand, the consequences of an unaccountable Guardian Ad Litem system, Mayo founded Georgia Protective Parents and began drafting legislation to fix the gaps she saw.

Working without a formal lobbying background, Mayo spent hours standing outside the Georgia Senate chamber — waiting for lawmakers between votes — to hand-deliver her proposed bills. Her tenacity paid off: her GAL reform legislation is now carried by a bipartisan group of Senate and House sponsors.

She and her organization is also a driving force behind HB 253 (Ethan’s Law), which would ban forced family reunification programs, and has been involved in developing several other child protections measures this session.
