A law voted last year and established irresponsible for professionals who alert the police to phenomena domestic violence which they find while performing their duties played a role in revealing dozens of disadvantaged cases of abuse.
Law 5090 has reached out to doctors, teachers and other professionals, and now when they find out domestic violence, they inform the police authorities, saving the victims from their torturers.
Doctors, psychologists, educators, coaches and other professionals were reluctant to take over the disclosure of such cases, as they have been exposed to legal dangers for years, such as in cases where the abusers sued for slander against them, as there was no protection.
The protection is only removed if it turns out that their complaint was deliberately false.
The complainants “are not appointed, do not be deemed, disciplined, dismissed, nor are there any other sanctions or adverse treatment, for the incident they reported in the exercise of their duties, unless they were aware of their reference”.
The same legislation protects professionals and from psychedelic appearances in court when these cases are heard, as it predicts that the seat can call them a category “only if the crime of domestic violence is not proven by any other evidence”.
