West Virginia立法者未能通过Raylee的法律, 该法案的目的是在2026年立法会议最后几个小时内, 当父母一方受到虐待儿童或忽视儿童的调查时, 停止儿童在家上学。 West Virginia lawmakers failed to pass Raylee’s Law, a bill aimed at halting homeschooling for children when a parent is under child abuse or neglect investigation, during the final hours of the 2026 legislative session. 该措施以8岁的Raylee Browning命名,Raylee Browning于2018年被学校开除后死亡,受到虐待,但因程序拖延和修改而受阻。 The measure, named after 8-year-old Raylee Browning who died in 2018 after being removed from school and subjected to abuse, was blocked by procedural delays and amendments. 立法者和儿童安全倡导者谴责该决定是道德上的失败,认为该法案不会限制合法的家庭学校教育,而是防止滥用者利用该系统。 Lawmakers and child safety advocates condemned the decision as a moral failure, arguing the bill would not restrict legitimate homeschooling but prevent abusers from exploiting the system. 批评者说,拖延反映了政治战术优先于保护脆弱儿童。 Critics say the delay reflects a prioritization of political tactics over protecting vulnerable children.
