The Becca Bill was passed by parents and legislators who said they wanted to save their kids. The law was named for 13-year-old Becca Hedman, a teenage runaway who worked the streets as a prostitute. Her father, Dennis Hedman, remembers what happened to her three years ago. DENNIS HEDMAN, Becca's Father: She's standing on a street corner. She gets picked up by a 36-year-old white male who pays her $50 to have sex. She accompanies him back to his room, they perform the act. He was not satisfied, wanted his money back. Becca told him no. She turned her back to get dressed. He pulled a Baseball bat from--out from under the bed and beat her to death. That murder and his inability to save his daughter sent Hedman on a mission to radically change Washington state's juvenile laws. Besides making the reporting of runaways a legal requirement, the Becca Law also set up a statewide network of lock crisis shelters to hold runaways for up to five days, and in a dramatic turnaround, the law scrapped provisions in juvenile law that required the consent of teenagers before they were put into mental health, drug, or alcohol therapy. Under the new law, the parents do not need consent before committing their children.
