(WHTM) - A Pennsylvania lawmaker has introduced legislation that would allow the prosecution of anyone who has knowledge of sexual abuse occurring against children, but fails to report the incidents to police. Rep. Louise Williams Bishop (D-Philadelphia) said her measure, House Bill 1876, would require that sexual abuse against children be directly reported to law enforcement authorities. Violation would be a second-degree felony. The legislation is being considered in the House Judiciary Committee.
