Something to Push For
Bill in Washington - The Seattle Times
Yesterday, Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson, D-Seattle, introduced House Bill 1467, which would require any employee, contractor or volunteer of a nonprofit organization to tell civil authorities if they suspect a co-worker of abusing or neglecting a child.

Currently, about 25 states include clergy among those required to report suspected child abuse or neglect, and about 18 states require such reporting from anyone.
Why isn´t it mandatory everyhwere? What are we waiting for?
