Absolutely it should have been reported because without medical treatment we were to young and experienced to seek out either she would have died or her condition would be more severe now.

Similarly in a lot of abuse cases with children, if nothing is done and done soon the child will die or be maimed.

There is no perfect solution, but not having investigations is absolutely not in the running for good solutions, let alone the best solution.

Your situation is anecdotal.

Yes, I support criminal investigation...for those cases which warrant such action. I do not support the unlawful investigation of law abiding citizens simply because someone “suspects” a crime.

The phrase "medical treatment we were to young and experienced to seek out" is concerning to say the least since it's indicating adults with a child did not know when to seek a doctor. Thank God by His Grace it worked out for your family. Most children taken from their parents by government agencies are not returned to the parents.

The Sandusky case was brought to light because of something happening on the school premises, not about rumors about what was going on inside the Sandusky home causing the Sandusky children to be taken away. The victim was not Sandusky's child.

Reporting an on-campus rape of a child is required because the school and it's staff are responsible for what goes on at it's facilities.

It would be unwise to take the Sandusky case, in the court of public opinion, and forget all about the school staff dereliction of duty and instead turn it into a rallying cry to call for more government intrustion into the family home. Sandusky's charity was, after all, the sole source of his victims, and it was not based on Scripture, but solely on him declaring that he wanted to help children that were not his own. Every one of the over 100,000 children currently participating in Second Mile activities is a child either forcefully taken from or willingly handed over by their parent or parents, in hopes that activities in this organization might provide some benefit to the child.

As the founder, Sandusky undoubtedly was never subjected to a background check. The more government grows it's tentacles of control and extends them into families, all the while promoting the very mores that undermine them, the more need it will be creating for secular humanist operations like The Second Mile, the purpose of which becomes that of it's management.

IMHO.
