I read the Pa statute governing the reporting of child sex/abuse. Shockingly, it appears JoeP was only obligated by law to report the incident to his superiors, and not to law enforcement. The superiors are then obligated by law to contact law enforcement. Talking about "passing the buck."
More than 40 states require the allegations to be made directly to law enforcement or child services. In these states, merely telling your superior is not good enough. Hopefully, Pa will pass legislature to require certain people to report abuse directly to law enforcement/child services and not be able to "pass the buck" by only telling their superiors.
