Times have changed. Now it’s a crime if you don’t report it.

I believe it was a crime then as well.


“Singer said he wasn’t merely duty bound by medical ethics and humanity to report the abuse, but by the law.

“I would have been prosecuted if I didn’t report the abuse,” Singer said.

As a psychologist and medical professional, Singer was mandated to report the abuse. By law, a failure to report would result in criminal and civil penalties. As a mandated reporter, he was also due protections like anonymity.

Instead, Singer said his name was leaked not only to the abuser but some of his other patients.”

If you had read the article, you would know that it was a crime then as well.

And it would have been a crime then too. He was a mandatory reporter.
