Faith's Law
Faith’s Law is named after child sexual abuse survivor Faith Colson, who graduated from an Illinois high school in the early 2000’s. Ms. Colson was sexually abused by one of her high school teachers. After graduation, she found out that a few staff members at the high school suspected that the teacher’s relationship with her was not appropriate, but they did not report their concerns. Faith’s Law was passed in response to her experience as two separate pieces of legislation effective in 2021 and 2023.
