LDS CHURCH ABUSE POLICIES

The Idaho Falls sexual abuse case was a minor allegedly assaulting a minor. We checked on the policies of the LDS Church to see what they're doing to help prevent adults from assaulting kids.

In February of this year, the church instituted new policies for the Primary, that's where children ages three to eleven attend class.

A church spokesperson says if possible, all primary classrooms should have a window. Also, if a man is asked to teach the class, there must be another adult in the classroom.

Where this is impossible, a member of the primary presidency should periodically check on that class.
