FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Reacting to the slaying of a social worker, the Legislature approved a bill Tuesday to lessen the dangers faced by others doing the job.
The measure requires visits between birth parents and abused or neglected children to take place in secure locations. Legislators pushed the Boni bill, named after slain social worker Boni Frederick, through on the last day of the session.
Frederick died in October after being stabbed and beaten when she took a 10-month-old boy for a visit at the house of his mother, Renee Terrell, 33.
