Connecticut Lawmarkers Propose Bill to Crack Down on False Credentials

NORWALK, Conn. -- A group of bipartisan lawmakers has proposed a bill that would ratchet up the penalty for people who misrepresent their credentials to work with special needs children.
"There is no crueler hoax than to give false hope to a parent or a child who's in need," said state Rep. Larry Cafero, R-142, one of several legislators who endorsed the bill Monday during a press conference at Stepping Stones Museum for Children.
