Serious accusations against administrators @ Penn State bring concerns to all state laws that give too much power to these agencies, governmental units and private institutions. We petition a change that requires those agencies to contact and work with law enforcement when investigating allegations of sexual abuse within their institutions.
The criminal justice system needs to become "Victim Centered" and put more money into services for the child rather than so much money into rehabilitating offenders.
All child abuse needs to be reported to BOTH parents,primary caregivers, human services, law enforcement, and county attorneys. These people need to continue to work together FOR the best interest of the child. Parents/ caregivers MUST be educated as to the impact of sexual abuse.
