	LDS Church Abuse Policies Newschannel 6 [Idaho] April 13, 2006 http://www.kpvi.com/index.cfm?page=nbcheadlines.cfm&ID=32654 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. These changes go along with more established church policies to prevent abuse, like two adults must be present on youth trips, and a parent should be in the hall when their child is being interviewed by the bishop.
