    ^ I thought it was going to be negative at first, too.

    This is great news.

    I'm shocked that this is only outlawed in two states at the moment; I thought for sure this would already be illegal in Massachusetts and California.

    Glad to see progress though! :slight_smile:

    Good job, D.C.! Shockingly, we still have a long way to go, but progress is progress.

    This is great news. Hopefully it can spare some teenagers from emotional abuse.

    Here's hoping child abuse (lets call it what it is) will soon be illegal in every part of the country.
