Senator Cruz Delivers Remarks on the Senate Floor for TREY's Law

Published | Video Starts at 02:21

No child should be forced to walk alone in that pain. And no child should be forced to accept agreements that protect the abuser.

As legislators, as parents, as human beings, we have a moral obligation to stand between children and those who would harm them. (02:21–02:26)
