Absolutely. One problem I discovered as a mandatory reporter in healthcare was how difficult it was to take any action in insular communities. I was in a small community right outside of a large city. Realized how quickly I would lose both my job and housing by going above the Doctors. We need funding for reporters too. I would always report, but I can't imagine what one might do if they had their lives tied up in that community.

Children absolutely deserve a bill of rights. They are the most vulnerable members of society.

It's one of the reasons why things don't change. DAs, Cnas, pre-k daycare workers, social workers... these groups that cannot afford their own lawyers, do not have the savings to relocate will not be able to do their jobs. So they end up leaving. It happens outside secular communities too, but for different reasons. I mean most social workers burn out because they don't have much to offer the individuals they are trying to help. If things aren't funded there's nothing to offer and the clients stop trusting the resource.
