Rabbonim had previously ruled that Sexual Abuse must first be reported to Bais Din ....
Well, that's the end of that, thankfully.
So Satmar thought they had Cuomo in the bag and can tell him what to do .....
But now that the elections are over the politicians that Satmar and Yesivois voted in are kicking them in the ass.
First by requiring Yeshivois to teach English for mandated hours, and now they will have to "nebech" report to police when a rebbe gets his jollies off on a young child...
Private schools will be required to report to law enforcement all allegations of sexual abuse, under a bill signed into law Friday by Gov. Cuomo.
The new law puts private schools on equal footing with public schools, which have been required for years to automatically report abuse to law enforcement, parents and education officials.
It also expands who must be mandatory reporters to any employee or volunteer whose duties involve direct student contact as well as contracted bus drivers.
“There is nothing more important than the safety and well being of our children,” Cuomo said. “With this bill, we are closing a frightening gap in the law and taking action to ensure all students in both public and private schools are protected from abuse. “
