Health;

I do not quite understand your question.

1) Halacha is Halacha, I cannot change it.

2) Regarding Tikkun Olam: numerous studies continue to show the horrific results of these ill concieved laws which to paraphrase one researcher may very well have resulted in the cure being worse then the crime. Families, children, and whole communities have been destroyed. Numerous effective methods of chinuch and child raising that saved untold numbers of children from the scourge of child neglect (according to the statistics there are roughly 6 cases of neglect for every 1 case of molestation) have been thrown aside whith terrible consequences.

3) There is no place where there was a problem that Mandated Reporting laws were implemented and resulted in helping the situation get better. Rather in every case where Mandated Reporting Laws were implemented the situation has gotten worse.

4)To protect against Child Molestation the accusation of Child Molestation must be taken seriously to avoid a “boy who cries wolf” situation. Yet Mandatory Reporting laws have caused this “claim” to be considered one of the most belittled out there and in the words of researchers given rise to an “epidemic” of false claims.

5) As the father of young children I view it as my responsibilty to protect them and as a result when this debate first started spent untold hours researchig this issue (as can be seen from the numerous actual real statistics I am able to provide) and as a result try to “raise the alarm” that we stand at the precipice of implementing Failed ideas and destroying our children in the process.

So far no one has been able to refute anything I have been saying. I am still waiting to see someone take up the challenge.
