A known poster on this site (Anon) says:
I have just received a text from an elder I've known for decades in my circuit who has some sympathy for my feelings and who is aware of the ARC, the UK charity commission, etc., etc. Here it is verbatim, and my reply.
"New document about CAbuse. Any member of Cong can ask to see it. Says elders to tell police. Much more in line with real world."
My reply: "Glad to see Satan's wicked legal system forcing change. Shame we can't do it without outside pressure."

The original looks like the format of the 2012 and 2016 documents however this cut and paste copy does not give paragraph numbering, underlining, bold or italic of the original. There are 73 pages in all but beyond what I have sent, pages 6 to 73 are only WT reprints of their articles (showing "the abundance" of care and spiritual attention they give.) It does specify that a congregation member or victim or family can go to the authorities. In my view they are trying to comply legally screaming and kicking and paragraph 13 tills gives wiggle room as to who determines whether a child is still at risk - the branch legal desk or local elders.
