Child Abuse Legislation Advances - Pennsylvania

Chris Engel 3/18/133:30 PM

"In November, that task force released a report calling for the legislation to address those problems. The proposals would update the definition of child abuse, clarify who must report child abuse, increase penalties for failure to report and establish a three-digit, statewide number for reporting child abuse. Another provision would provide whistle blower protection for people who report suspected child abuse.

Next month two Senate Committees will hold a joint public hearings on the effort to improve the way allegations of child abuse are investigated in Pennsylvania."
