This is a huge factor. MA for example which is also very high has more mandated reporting — ME is similar I would guess

Also suggests why conservative states that normalize abuse or sweep it under the rug, or forgive it at church every week report it less.

Your comment is factually inaccurate, states regardless of general political leanings, are spread pretty evenly throughout this list.

What unique abuse would you be referring to that somehow makes it special enough to not expose. It isn’t normalized and every state has families in which children are afraid to report it regardless of religion or otherwise

Most states have mandated reporting.

Also, the states at the mid to bottom include Washington, Vermont, California which tend to also have higher levels of state funding and mandated reporting. So, more reporting doesn’t explain it all.

Teachers are mandated reporters in both states. It’s part of my job to report suspected child abuse.
