Exactly. The doctor, and I assume any doctor, is required by law to report


a rape they become aware of. FWIW I believe Matt and my wives as teachers would be too, if they became aware of a kid that had been raped.

One way to enforce that law is to take away their license. I'm assume fines and prison time is an option too. I get what Matt is saying about the rape having already been reported back in June, but that doesn't change the laws for reporting by docs, teachers, first responders, etc.

You can argue to change the law, but as you said, it exists for a reason - to protect abused children. And as you also said, we already don't have enough reporting of that now (although I can understand why teachers and others can find themselves in difficult positions when deciding what to report vs. the repercussions for a false accusation).
