-You do need to research. As there are many areas taking up this law after the Sandusky thing.

Then it must be a very recent development, and I can't help wondering why the Sandusky incident, as bad as it was, spawned draconian mandatory reporting laws that have nothing to do with that type of incident. Then again, politicians will try to exploit any type of tragedy to rationalize just about any type of draconian follow-up legislation, so who knows?

-You say you wouldn't report it because it would destroy two human beings. Well lets say I don't report it. This would still destroy the two human beings.

In what way, if they weren't "found out" and subjected to the system?

It would also destroy me.

In what way, other than perhaps guilt at not honoring the notion of parental sovereignty?

It would also break Abby's mother's trust in pretty much any male which was already hard enough to gain as I was the first male other than the father that her mother would so much allow her to talk to.

That would still cause me, in that situation, to struggle with the notion of becoming a narc, and weighing all of that against watching two people forced into the system directly because of my actions. I'm not sure my conscience would be clear in such a case.

After talking to other females who had been molested (whether you would consider it to be molestation or not) many were heartbroken that people knew and didn't care about them enough to say anything. I wouldn't let Abby go through the same thing. Because if it was ever found out then she will be told that no one cared about her, but females.

And I still do not see you suggesting that any blame be put on those people in the system who would subject the girl you love to iatrogenic harm through brainwashing. Perhaps someone should inform her that those social workers, many of whom would be female, would be exploiting her to carry out a political agenda? This is why I ask you to consider who the real harm is ultimately caused by, and who the real people that shouldn't be trusted are.

-Since society will tell her its a molestation no matter how consensual or whatever it is I will react to it as such.

And isn't that helping to carry out a dangerous and loaded falsehood simply because "society and the social workers say it's so"? Isn't that, in effect, validating a dangerous falsehood and--for want of a better expression--"going along with the herd"?

-I don't really have time to read right now.

Then you gotta make the time soon, as there are viewpoints out there for you to check out, my newest friend :-)

Girlfriend and I have decided to take care of several children while the parents continue working over the summer and I still have several businesses that I am in charge of. But recommend away and when I get time I'll read them. They will have to be available online though as I don't want the girlfriend seeing them.

Why not? She could probably get an enlightening read out of them too :-)
