How will this work? Cartoonist Feb 2019 #2

Child rapists often do talk after they are caught Major Nikon Feb 2019 #7

Good. It's time to make the clergy follow the same rules as MineralMan Feb 2019 #3

So if the abusers do not self-report, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #4

What does that have to do with anything? trotsky Feb 2019 #5

The "logic" is there's a higher authority than secular laws Major Nikon Feb 2019 #9

To be fair, I believe his logic is this: trotsky Feb 2019 #10

Not even his logic Major Nikon Feb 2019 #11

Another view, in this thread. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #13

Use your own words, g. trotsky Feb 2019 #46

You, and a few others, are making a point. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #47

"We"? LMAO trotsky Feb 2019 #48

More often the victim reports it and is ignored. No more of that. marylandblue Feb 2019 #6

Many times, as the Metoo movement shows, guillaumeb Feb 2019 #14

I don't get you often. marylandblue Feb 2019 #17

The problem is predation. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #20

You don't seem to understand how mandatory reporting works. marylandblue Feb 2019 #25

If you understood it, you would not answer that way. marylandblue Feb 2019 #28

We can agree to disagree. eom guillaumeb Feb 2019 #29

Not really, you are throwing out red herrings. Here isevidence marylandblue Feb 2019 #30

What's worse is he does understand Major Nikon Feb 2019 #35

Worse, when he gives the water to the RCC after carrying it, MineralMan Feb 2019 #37

When they are caught in their crime, they can and will be prosecuted Major Nikon Feb 2019 #8

It is that easy? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #15

Actual experience is that people do confess abuse marylandblue Feb 2019 #18

One person.One single person. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #21

It's not the only such story, it's just the first one I found marylandblue Feb 2019 #23

It is an argument against the efficacy of mandatory reporting. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #24

So your position is that we should do away with mandatory reporting altogether? marylandblue Feb 2019 #27

No, Gil is just against mandatory reporting for religious organizations Major Nikon Feb 2019 #40

How many child rapes must we allow, Gil? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #39

What should we want? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #42

I said zero cases. guillaumeb Feb 2019 #44

You refused to answer my question Major Nikon Feb 2019 #45

What "experience" are you talking about? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #19

Why Don't Child Sex Abuse Victims Tell? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #22

Sometimes the abusers tell Major Nikon Feb 2019 #31

What percentage of abusers tell the authorities? guillaumeb Feb 2019 #32

Do you think it's going to be less than one? Major Nikon Feb 2019 #33

A significant minority do tell marylandblue Feb 2019 #34

It's even stranger when someone suggests we shouldn't Major Nikon Feb 2019 #36

Some do and some don't. Given the RCCs attitudes on sinful behavior, MineralMan Feb 2019 #38

Like a moth to a flame. Voltaire2 Feb 2019 #12
