All the legal department wants to do is make sure it's kept as quiet as possible.

At least they can warn parents when a"predator" as definded by the branch is in the congo. An improvement in my opinion but still not enough. And why can those that have dond such horrible things still be used in leadership positions? makes no sense.

A true predator will not do those things infront of the elders. So they wouldn't see if he is friends w/ familes whom aren't elders and what he is doing at their homes.
Since part of the spiritual food at the right time each month is obey the GB, they can atleast do a quarterly reminder that just because one is in the congregation, MS, or even elder, never to trust any alone with their kids, there is always a possibility they could be a danger.

The rule of two witnesses is absurd, in the Bible is in a context, to child abuse is ridiculous, never witnessed abuse and observe least two abuse

The attitude of the JW is criminal and out of law, no one can amparase a religion or sect to skip or break the law

Calling the Legal Dept is not to determine if a crime has been committed but whether reporting that possible crime is required by state law. I can believe that some elders and BOEs are not following the WTS directive on this.

Privileged Communications
Mandatory reporting statutes also may specify when a communication is privileged. "Privileged communications" is the statutory recognition of the right to maintain confidential communications between professionals and their clients, patients, or congregants. To enable States to provide protection to maltreated children, the reporting laws in most States and territories restrict this privilege for mandated reporters. All but three States and Puerto Rico currently address the issue of privileged communications within their reporting laws, either affirming the privilege or denying it (i.e., not allowing privilege to be grounds for failing to report). 7 For instance:
- The physician-patient and husband-wife privileges are the most common to be denied by States.
- The attorney-client privilege is most commonly affirmed.
- The clergy-penitent privilege is also widely affirmed, although that privilege usually is limited to confessional communications and, in some States, denied altogether.8
8 New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, and West Virginia disallow the use of the clergy-penitent privilege as grounds for failing to report suspected child abuse or neglect. For a more complete discussion of the requirement for clergy to report child abuse and neglect, see the Information Gateway's Clergy as Mandatory Reporters of Child Abuse and Neglect at www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/laws_policies/statutes/clergymandated.cfm. back
