House lawmakers have scheduled a committee hearing Wednesday on a
bill that would add schools to Rhode Island’s mandatory child abuse
reporting law.
The bill was filed in response to a sexual abuse scandal at St. George’s School in Middletown, after it became clear the school had failed to report numerous allegations of sexual abuse. The incidents span several decades and involve several former faculty members and one current employee.
