@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org The church concerned is unequivocal about reporting abuse. I wonder have they any sanctions they can apply? Sounds like state law versus ecclesiastical law argument. On this side of the pond state law is always superior, and there is no time limit for prosecution of child abuse. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/callings/safety/protecting-children-and-youth?lang=eng
