Exposure and prosecution of child abuse

Tier 3 - Positive Fitness

Positive evidence that a candidate supported measures exposing abusers, forcing transparency, or strengthening public accountability around child exploitation and trafficking.

Principle: Justice, truthful witness, and protection of the vulnerable.

Scripture: Isaiah 1:17, Proverbs 24:11-12, Luke 8:17, Ephesians 5:11

Reformed rationale: Civil rulers must expose evil, defend the vulnerable, and bring hidden abuse into judgment rather than shielding abusers through secrecy or institutional protection.
