State v. Willis 165 N.H. 206 (2013)"Just as all fifty states have enacted statutes recognizing a religious privilege, so too has each state passed a statute requiring mandatory reporting of child abuse. As one commentator has noted, however, New Hampshire is one of only six states to specifically abrogate the clergy communications privilege in its child abuse reporting statute, requiring a clergyperson to report child abuse regardless of the possible application of the religious privilege. Specifically, our Child Protection Act mandates: “Any ... priest, minister, or rabbi ... having reason to suspect that a child has been abused ... shall report the same in accordance with this chapter.”"
