Reporting

[u/Intrepid-Library-425]

I know someone who just brought her Dad, who
Molested her during childhood, on a vacation. Everyone stayed in the same rental with her two children. However, the molestation history was never reported so he is not on a registry or anything. Is there anything I can do? Can I still report this?

Anyone can report anything but reporting past, unreported molestation history that doesn’t involve any current minor children may not be accepted for investigation.

It’ll be documented regardless.

If you have reasonable suspicion current abuse or neglect is occurring, that’s the threshold to call.

I called and reported. Thank you!!!

This man is being left alone with minors

[u/Beeb294 → u/Intrepid-Library-425]

I don't blame you for reporting, but merely being alone with minors, particularly if there's no documented evidence of him committing a sex crime, is going to.make it hard for your report to be a valid allegation. (Note- valid in the sense of meeting legal/regulatory requirements, not in the sense that you're making things up. Your concern here is 100% valid)

I understand what you’re saying completely. It sounds like the molesting in the past was shared in counseling recently so hopefully the therapist reported it as well. I don’t know if that changes anything

What if the mom admits she was molested by her dad in the past and is allowing her children around him. Would nothing be done even with that just because he’s not on a registry? Sorry have so many questions, I know nothing about this so I appreciate the insight!

Thank you so much for explaining this. I can understand why they would only have the capacity to investigate current minors but it just feels like there should be more done to prevent children from being at risk in situations like this. Thank you again for this detailed explanation.

That’s so frustrating. I didn’t realize there was a statute of limitations

What if it’s an adult currently but they were a child when it happened? Like say it happened 25 years ago
