Pop quiz. Who do you think are the best advocates for child safety issues?
a) Pediatricians; b) Elected officials; c) Teachers; d) Parents? The answer is: e) none of the above. That’s right. While many of these groups work hard for children, peer-for-peer advocacy, or kids lobbying on behalf of kids, can actually have the biggest impact of all.
