Reply to comment by zombieinferno in WA lawmakers propose bill requiring clergy to report child abuse by littleblackcar

Does it include when the clergy abuses children?

Clergy are not mandatory reporters under current WA state law. That’s why we need to contact our legislators to ask them to pass these bills when they come up for a vote!

Thank you, I'll read the links. I was confused if they had to report possible abuse by churchgoers only, or clergy abusing churchgoers. Of course it should be any and all. -thanks again
