Then, to repeat the question, why did she react as she did? If it was so obvious that this was a twenty year old, why did she pretend not to have heard that her sexual partner was so much older? What could possibly be her motive?
You are claiming that she knew it all along, but then her behavior makes no sense at all. Not to mention the fact that she was, in fact, suspended for what she did.
If she knew it was a sting, why didn’t she call them on it? And, more to the point, why didn’t Planned Parenthood back her up?
I’ll defer to the legal eagles here - but seems to me the purpose of mandated reporting is to take the burden of decision making off of teachers and coaches and health care providers and let the police and Child Services make the call about whether there was actual abuse or not. And frankly, this only works if it is closely observed. If your professional duties involve reporting, you should be punished if you don’t report.
Of course I didn’t say it would be a valid argument for not being charged w/statutory rape.
Mr. Moto quoted a law, claiming it proved the nurse was supposed to have notified some one. and I’m asking ‘why?’ the girl was 20. She didn’t (from the photo) appear to be 13. If I don’t believe a crime has been committed, why would anyone think I should report one?
and she was punished. by her employer. But, no actual child abuse was involved in this case. Or even suspected child abuse. There was a false claim of child abuse (such false claim may be subject to criminal prosecution)
Just to make sure the details are clear, Ed’s post was made when he moved the thread from ATMB to the Pit, i.e. he wasn’t just dropping by to chime in that it was Pitworthy.
(I’m sure this is obvious to everyone, but didn’t want to risk any confusion.)
I must say, I didn’t read *that *into his post, but you’ve been proved right. I’m beginning to think that intercourse is not his forte. Thermonuclear attack, and then a quick scurry back to the bunker is more his style.
Why? You seem to be claiming that some one’s perception of reality cannot be used to evaluate a situation. I’m claiming the opposite.
Bricker I’ve said and repeated “from description” etc. cause I cannot watch the video.
From the descriptions of the events, and from the posted picture, I still don’t see where she violated the law. She (apparently) violated PP’s policies and (apparently) has had consequences from that. But I’ve got no problem believing the woman didn’t believe was a crime.
Still, it means that he did read the OP. And his lack of response to it I take to mean that he is not interested in addressing it. Why? That we can only speculate. My take is that it is because he knows there is nothing he can say to make this look better. Lynn screwed up, he screwed up by covering her. If history is any guide, neither will own up to it. Just sit low and let this pass.
So, if you’re a manager of a store and a customer comes in with a complaint about your staff, it’s OK if they’re told that the manager isn’t discussing the actions of his staff at the moment?
