i don’t get why it was the church’s responsibility to call

what LAW? if you were the parent, wouldn't you call the police?

Uh...

Let's not be confusing what the LAW says to the CHURCH with what a Parent WOULD/SHOULD do.

Let's not be confusing what the LAW says to the CHURCH with what a Parent WOULD/SHOULD do.

does the law say that a parent needs to wait for his church to make the call? is that what you're saying? if you need your church to step in on your child's behalf... well... i guess that's you're business...
