I will try to research on this but if anyone knows EXACTLY what states in the US HAVE madatory reporting laws could you share? It would make it easier for those on this board who live in NON-reporting states to possibly change that.
I agree that this, along with public awareness is the key to getting more protection for children regardless of faith afiliation. There should should be countrywide (US) mandatory reporting laws. This is a loophole the JWs use for not reporting and I'm sure other religions use it as well.
