Oh they probably will. Especially with this supreme court. Had I made this law I would have specified that anyone covered under (A) cannot get out of their responsibility by citing that they acquired privileged information through a different role. But the damage is done with the wording.

Yes now let’s keep reading.

Nothing in this subsection (1)(b) shall limit a person’s duty to report under (a) of this subsection.

When any member of the clergy, practitioner, county 26 coroner or medical examiner, law enforcement officer, professional 27 school personnel, registered or licensed nurse, social service 28 counselor, psychologist, pharmacist, employee of the department of 29 children, youth, and families, licensed or certified child care 30 providers or their employees, employee of the department of social 31 and health services, juvenile probation officer, diversion unit 32 staff, placement and liaison specialist, responsible living skills 33 program staff, HOPE center staff, state family and children’s ombuds 34 or any volunteer in the ombuds’ office, or host home program has 35 reasonable cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or 36 neglect, he or she shall report such incident, or cause a report to 37 be made, to the proper law enforcement agency or to the department as provided in RCW 26.44.040. 38 p

In other words, everyone else also has to report if they find out through privileged information, like a patient talking about abusing/being abused to their doctor, too.

That thing there just makes it so that clergy can’t hide behind their role as supervisors of an organization without making, say, the person running a local red cross or soccer club a mandatory reporter. It is very poorly worded and that is what they will pounce on. But be for real.

Here is a list of mandatory reporters in Washington state.

I don’t know if this is a good solution to the church’s sexual abuse situation. But I think its important to be right about the facts when talking about what actions are to be taken during child sexual assault.

It doesn’t say that. It adds priests and rabbis and other spiritual leaders to the list of mandatory reporters. Don’t spread misinformation about sexual assault.

Yes. That is literally the case. Funkystuff is wrong. The argument is that forcing Catholic priests to be mandatory reporters (I.e. they must report sexual assault) is a breach of their civil rights. That is literally what they are saying.

as opposed to doctors, lawyers, or other professionals who are protected from this duty of having to report on past crimes under penalty of law

Except doctors in Washington state are all already mandatory reporters, this just makes priests part of a group that already includes doctors. The article explicitly mentions this. It would have taken you two seconds to look that up even if you had not read the article. This is literally bishops saying that reporting sexual assault violates their civil rights. Hiding behind the sanctity of the “seal of the confessional” (As they shuffleremoveds priests around to avoid them being prosecuted)

Their monetary policy doesn’t exist as an extension of the republican party electoral campaign apparatus? That’s currency manipulation!

It’s true. China literally just does what basic social studies would tell you is the correct government policy, and somehow it always fucking shocks the US.

They’re doing state investment and adjusting their fiscal and monetary policy based on business cycles as per basic keynesianism?!?! But that’s cheating!!!

This doesn’t actually seem too crazy? There’s a bunch of social pressure to be employed and a lot of shame associated with unemployment, if you’re financially capable of paying a small fee to avoid that kind of embarassment it makes sense some would do it. And for all the weaknesses of capitalism, finding a money making niche and exploiting it isn’t one of them. In the west we had people doing the same shit with wework spaces. The fictitious tasks and staging a worker rebellion seems a little silly, and I suspect that’s exaggerated or misunderstood (But what do I know?) but the idea that this is inherently silly doesn’t really strike me as that reasonable.

True.

Clearly they just got burned by their meth pipes, or whatever other deflection right wingers would use about a legitimate protest being attacked like this.

Total war warhammer 3.

I hate mangler squigs. I hate power creep in a single player game. I hate that they ran out of ideas so they added a unit that literally doesn’t interact with infantry except by dealing damage. They just play their idle animation as all my infantry dies.

His first camp action is him trying to do thinly veiled sexual assault which can result in your death

Oh but then sorosfootsoldier is gonna be fine, and you’re going to have to give him the smooch back. :(

yeah but there’s mold on that smooch

Does that include the cia and anti communists cutouts?

I am now aware of trans positive force fem porn. I did not know that was a thing. Huh.

We are discussing sexual assault here. Calling it “poor impulse control” is a pretty bad way to describe it.

No it isn’t.

They’re going to fuck with trans people, but the drugs used are also drugs used by trans people in some instances as part of hormone treatment or as puberty blockers. They’re going to deny trans people something they are pressuring cis people to take. (There are other drugs involved in transitioning, but they’re also going to deny trans people those while giving them to cis people)

You can let people out of prison, as bad as imprisoning a person wrongfully is. You can’t un-murder them.
