If they do not report to authorities ANY sign of abuse of a child or vulnerable adult, they are in violation of the law.

Additionally, there is research that shows that people process information without being aware of it. Most of communication is non-verbal, and you are assessing people as you interact with them, even if you are not consciously aware of it. Those instincts I refer to are the result of processing that information. My experience has been that failing to pay attention to them is not wise. Whenever I've talked myself out of paying attention to the feeling in my gut, I've been wrong. I've never known a therapist to tell anyone to ignore that.

I also made very clear I was not talking about any kind of accusation but rather choices about my own life, which are no one's decision but my own.
