California is releasing convicted child abusers as part of the system of releasing non violent offenders

A drop in child abuse cases isn't true for more than one reason.

You'll have to explain that better? For starters, post the information that explains exactly what Cal. is doing and who they are releasing. Are they releasing people who killed or sexually abused kids and are a threat to the community?

Secondly, explain what YOU think the drop in child abuse cases is due to.

Finally, knowing that most people who are found to have abused a child are not criminally charges, and even fewer go to jail, explain how releasing those who were jailed has anything to do with the dearth of abuse allegations.

The reality of the situation is that many teachers and administrators will look the other way when it's child abusing child on their watch and their premises. Especially if the child doing the abusing is someone "privileged".

*****SMILE*****

You're confusing two different issues. You are referring here to bullying. I don't know for a fact that you are correct about administrators looking the other way on that. School culture has evolved away from that.

The issue is child abuse at the hand of adults, often those in a care giver role and /or those who have some power over the child away from school. Please do some research on it

R.r..r...ight... School culture has evolved.

So a child being abused is two different issues because there has to be two different standards. One for when it happens at home and one for when it happens at school.

The hidden price---does anyone think that the child abuse rate in LA has dropped 50%...or that LA is the only place in the US with this situation? I put this in the CDZ as it is an emotionally charged issue--the debate is simple..is it worth it? More to the point..what can be done to reestablish some oversight over the vulnerable in our population...and/or....could this be a 'slippery slope' intrusion into the family's rights to privacy and freedom to run their families as they see fit?

Coronavirus leads to 'alarming' drop in child abuse reports in LA; sheriff plans welfare checks on those at risk

On a typical day, up to 1,000 calls and reports of suspected child abuse and neglect flood into the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Department of Children and Family Services.
Eagle-eyed teachers, doctors, dentists, counselors, coaches — an army of mandated reporters across California — along with security guards, janitors and observant parents typically fill the hotline with reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Those calls, investigators say, often save lives.
But since the outbreak of the coronavirus has shuttered schools, curtailed medical visits and largely hidden the lives of children behind closed doors, the reports of suspected abuse have dropped by as much as 50%. The drop began almost immediately after California began its stay-at-home orders to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“We usually have a lot of eyes and ears out there making sure children are safe. But right now we don’t know what is happening behind closed doors,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Monday in an interview.

“These numbers are alarming because of the magnitude of the decline,” Villaneuva said.
Those declines also come as his deputies are responding to an uptick in reports of domestic violence as residents are under stay-at-home orders to prevent the disease’s spread.
In response to the drop in abuse reports, Villanueva said he is launching a plan “to do welfare checks on our most at-risk kids with patrol personnel.” He said he is working with the Special Victims Unit, the Department of Children and Family Services and other stakeholders to develop a way to identify high-risk minors who may not have contact with their schools and then have patrol deputies do some form of a welfare check.

The kids are at home with the abusers who have no reason to report themselves

No that is not what I said. Try reading what I wrote again. Abuse by adults , whether at school or at home or any where else is child abuse. Bullying by peers is a different issue THINK!

How often is the parent believed if they say that it's fights between siblings or a neighbors child(ren)?

An adult in a controlled setting looking the other way when "privileged" child(ren) are abusing another child is just as guilty as have done it themselves in my mind.

Why do you think a drop in child abuse cases would be alarming?

Your question like everything coming from a rabid democrat is brainless.

The worst thing a rational person can do is answer the questions of a leftist. It engages them where they think they can control the narrative.
