Florida’s Office of Parental Rights, with Attorney General James Uthmeier

In this episode, James Uthmeier, Attorney General of Florida, joins us to discuss the creation of the state’s first-in-the-nation Office of Parental Rights within the Attorney General’s Office. Established earlier this year in response to a growing number of parental complaints, the office works to ensure Florida’s parental rights laws are upheld and that parents have a place to turn when those rights are violated.

Attorney General Uthmeier outlines how the office operates, why enforcing existing parental rights protections is so essential, and why he hopes other states will follow Florida’s lead in creating similar offices across the country.

The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, President of the Parental Rights Foundation. Stay informed on parental rights news by signing up for email alerts at parentalrightsfoundation.org/getinvolved.
