State Senators Cafaro, Brown. Turner, and Schiavoni, all Democrats, introduced S. B. No. 248 which would make it exceedingly difficult for parents to home school their children. The senators use the death of Teddy Foltz-Tedesco as an excuse for further usurpation of our freedom by the government.

Sponsored by Capri Cafaro (D-Hubbard), SB 248 — Teddy’s Law — was proffered in reaction to the very tragic death of Teddy Foltz-Tedesco in January 2013. Teddy and his 10-year-old twin brothers were abused by Zaryl Bush for at least five years while the boys’ mother, Shain Widdersheim, stood by and allowed the torture and beatings to continue. Teddy ultimately died from a severe beating by Bush, who was sentenced to 33-years-to-life for the murder while the mother received a sentence of 15-years for allowing the abuse.
