After taking part in a high-profile state investigation involving a fellow lawmaker in 2024 regarding alleged child abuse, state Rep. Phil Plummer, R-Butler Twp., now aims to make all of Ohio’s elected officials mandatory child abuse reporters. “If you’re an elected official, you’re kind of a community leader and people go to you with their problems all the time. I think it’s just another layer of protection for any child that has been abused of neglected,” Plummer told this news outlet.
