PA: Editorial: Cheap attempt at child abuse reform
York Dispatch – June 05, 2016
In short, the legislation expanded the definition of mandatory reporters, streamlined the reporting process, increased penalties for mandatory reporters who fail to do so and provided protections from employment discrimination for filing a report in good faith. How anyone could think such a significant upgrade — designed to increase the number of suspected child abuse cases — wouldn’t require a significant increase in funding is beyond us.
