The gay former transportation secretary says the GOP’s Epstein shutdown should dominate headlines, just like Republicans made trans athletes their obsession.
I hate the term “mandatory reporter”. Like, that should be obvious. If a kid confides in you and you don’t tell someone, you’re just as guilty. You’re basically an accomplice or co-conspirator at that point.
What if the kid specifically tells you because they think it’s confidential and the thing they are seeking is counseling? Reporting wasn’t made mandatory for social workers and counselors because they were thinking about the desires of the rapist, it’s because they wanted kids to have someone they could trust.
Priests I’m not so sure, as the perpetrator is likely a member of their club.
Prosecuting pedophiles would help. Make “holy people” mandatory reporters just as therapists and teachers are.
