We were not even at a point where that question needs to be asked.

Federal and state police, some of the best funded, equipped and trained police in the world are so inundated with cases that they are forced to limit their investigations to just toddlers and babies. What use is it to add more and more cases to a mountain of uninvestigated crimes? Whats needed is more police clearing the existing caseload.

Same goes for mandatory reporting that teachers do in Australia. The resources available to investigate are only able to cope with those who are in "immediate danger of losing their lives".

That's an unbelievably depressingly low bar for society.
