California Passes 'Pedophile Protection Act'
A bill termed by critics as the "Pedophile Protection Act" is now on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's desk awaiting his signature after it passed both legislative houses. The bill would drastically reduce the requirements for mandatory reporting of sexual, physical and emotional abuse of children.

Under present California law, all persons who regularly come in contact with children as part of their jobs are required to report any instance where there is reason to believe that a child has been molested or abused. The new bill would eliminate mandatory reporting for anyone working as a volunteer in any capacity.

The bill would also eliminate mandatory reporting in cases where children are having sex with each other, and would eliminate "severe emotional abuse" as a reportable event.

The bill was introduced and promoted in the legislature by Sen. Sheila Keuhl, who is openly a lesbian.

Opponents of the bill believe that it was motivated by an investigation that revealed that Planned Parenthood has been contacted by more than 30,000 children in California -- some of them as young as six years old with sexually transmitted diseases -- but has never reported a single instance of abuse to law enforcement.

"This is a reprehensible act by Sheila Keuhl," said Richard D. Ackerman, Vice-President of Legal Affairs for the Pro-Family Law Center in Southern California, "The one common denominator among civilized persons is the ability to rally around the protection of our children. Even one case of unreported abuse has the potential to begin a generational cycle of continuing abuse, and could even result in the death of a child." Opponents of SB1313 are contacting Gov. Schwarzenegger and encouraging him not to sign the bill into law. "only place I could find any info was on About.com" Was on the local news but cannot find anything online about it-news on TV said Gov passed the bill today!

Re: California Pedophile Protection Act

okay how do I delete this? Was the wrong article-one I wanted to post was passed today on the news but cannot find a link anywhere on it. A bill to make people who sexually abuse a corpse a felony-had to do with a 4 year old that died and her dead body was raped by a worker from ambulance co or coroners office, only reason I posted was cause of a case I was on that if victim was raped after she died he could not be found guilty-get off scott free!

This does not make sense to me. What is planned parenthood and why did they not report it, surely you don't need a law to tell you something is wrong when a sic year old has an std?

Why would anyone bring in such a law was it to protect planned parenthood patient/doctor cinfidentiality or what.

If it's your article, you should see an "edit" box on the lower RHS when you
view it. This allows you to delete the article.
