(Des Moines, IA) — State Representative Megan Jones of Sioux Rapids wants to change the state law so educators have to report if they suspect abuse for any student. The law currently only requires reporting for students under the age of 12. Jones says age involving the sexual exploitation of a student should be irrelevant. Jones says a teacher or school employee can leave a school district and just go on to a different school district and then we have the same problems happening again. Jones says two House committees have been working on legislation to address the issue.
