New “willful neglect” rules may harm victims 1

As soon as I heard the proposed willful neglect rules on the radio news I thought “they haven’t thought it through”. You might have heard about it and thought “what a good idea” but I think not. In theory wouldn’t it be marvellous if no one kept secrets,  and all professionals passed on information? These professional folk could actually end up in prison over it. No no no! It’s not right to jail people for not talking. As I am a “survivor” of abuse I can see a huge flaw in the idea.
