Lawsuit Against the Church — Implications

Yeah SD, I think that abuse hotline was established for exactly that kind of reason. We want all of our church leaders complying with the law – for their sake as well as the sake of the church.

I would also self declare as a mandatory reporter though I do not know that doing so would get me out of any callings. 😆

Particularly if priesthood leaders had promised confidentiality — which they sometimes do, by the way.

Unfortunately, I think that this and any other promise would become null and void when it entails breaking the law.

I just did a quick review of mandated reporters in my ward leadership.

-A counselor in the bishopric is a nurse

-The RS president is a nurse, one counselor is a teacher’s aide

-The Primary president is a foster care provider, one counselor is a teacher and the other is a doctor – all mandated.

-The YW presidency has a counselor who is a nurse and another who is a teaching assistant.

The EQP and SSP both seem to have no mandated reporters at this time. But, that’s a pretty hefty load of “high ranking” local officers.
