No. New laws were enacted after two major events. The Jerry Sandusky shit and the Catholic pedo shit. It used to be that parents could volunteer in schools and now everyone that is near children or the elderly has to do an FBI background check.
Also, mandatory reporting laws were updated so now if you are even just peer tutoring or other volunteer work, you become a mandatory reporter and have to take a short class and report even the suspicion of abuse.
I don’t think these numbers reflect what’s happening in the Amish community at all though. They have special exceptions for basically everything.
