Shaken Baby Syndrome

1,200 and 1,600 children die every year in the United States from SBS. The Hannah Rose Foundation was formed to raise money to educate people about the fatal consequences of shaking your baby. It is our mission in life to prevent this from ever happening again to any child!

SB 468

June 13th, 2007

Dear Friends,

We wanted to let you know that the first Bill associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome has passed through the California Senate last week. I was asked to speak to many legislators from around the state regarding the need for Hospital based programs. We are pleased with the efforts of many in honoring Hannah Rose. The Bill known as SB 468 is allocating funds for 10 counties. The hospitals in these counties will start distributing Shaken Baby Syndrome materials consistent with the New York based model that has proven to decrease the numbers of children Shaken each year. We are learning to live with the harsh reality that this is our life now. We are very appreciative of your support. We will continue to update you on the progress of the Bill now on the way to the State Assembly for the same vote. The Sacramento Child Abuse Prevention Center has been instrumental in the passing of this very important legislation. Thank you.

The Juceam Family
