I understand the wariness and skepticism, but it will be wonderful if these measures are passed. These are the sorts of laws that california has never ever allowed. If so, hollywood would be so fucked. Which, of course, would be great

Is this another one of those Fake Bills they are trying to pass like H.R. 1865 FOSTA Bill. It's suppose to help sex trafficking but does the exact opposite. The Bill is on it's way now, but hopefully we can head it off. Tell you friends and relatives to call their lawmakers. Many are up for reelection.

This is interesting! Progress? what if people did report him? do we know yet? is that a double edged sword? Knowing what we know now of CPS, Children's Homes etc How does it all work from here on out. That is going to be the big question for ALL Agencies, and We the People because there is a whole lot that needs to be changed. Starting with The TOP down to the Bottom. What is that going to look like in the future... People who look the other way are complicit. Yes but who do you report it to? the Sheriff ? (we know that there are many Authorities we cannot trust), CPS? Yep again, cannot trust, The Church? hmmm, nope, not necessarily... What is going to happen now folks?

There needs to be a complete breakdown of where and who takes reports of said abuse and does nothing about it. that is a start. In ALL Agencies, entities etc. Police, Government, CPS, Medical Board, etc..

but again I ask, have we not been here before? Remember the Catholic Church and the Pedophile scandal. then the Pope "investigates" some priests are put on trial, yet through our investigations we find that the Popes brother is running a pedophile ring out of the vaitican later on and WHAT THE F* here we are again. This is just ONE example.

Sorry, Rant over. It just feels like its all a big circle jerk sometimes, and little kids are still suffering.

from the article:

A Michigan Senate committee on Tuesday unanimously approved sweeping legislation to combat sexual assault, amending a new plan to include potential jail time for adults who are required but fail to report child allegations to proper authorities.

The proposal, a response to the Larry Nassar scandal that has engulfed Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, would expand existing mandatory reporter laws for child sexual abuse to include university or youth coaches or trainers.

Those who fail to do so could be charged with a felony and sentenced to up to two years in prison under an amendment sponsored by Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge.

They’d face a fine of up to $1,000 for a first offense and more for additional instances.
