Is Bucks County Breaking The New Child Abuse Task Force Laws!!!

 BILL No. 21 Session of2013
§ 6312. Persons [permitted] encouraged to report suspected child abuse.
[In addition to those persons and officials required to report suspected child abuse, any] Any person may make [such a report] an oral or written report of suspected child abuse, which may be submitted electronically, or cause a report of suspected child abuse to be made to the department, county agency or law enforcement, if that person has reasonable cause to suspect that a child is [an abused child] a victim of child abuse.
Bill 33
Whistleblower protection for child abuse reporting 
Specific recommendation made by the Task Force on Child Protection established by Senate Resolution 250, not SR 20 as referred in a previously circulated memo. This legislation will adopt "whistleblower" protection individuals who report child abuse.
The bill will allow an employee to bring action for employment discrimination if:
They are a mandated reporter,
The person acted in good faith; and
The person is fired or discriminated against in compensation, hire, tenure, terms, conditions or privileges of employment.

I contacted Pa Law enforcement agency . I told them everything that the workers told me. How my worker told me not to report it, how in front of two other workers I asked her again about reporting it and she said that if I did she would need to remove the children and that it would look bad on me. Please note that PIP a specialized school in Norristown Pa also was told by this worker not to report anything the child told them. The agency I emailed tried to help me and contacted Bucks County. So Bucks helped me by removing the children and returning them to there bio-parents even Bucks Counties own case-workers said it is a mistake and believe the child was abused. So tell me who broke the law and re-exposing the children to danger.
