Again, the line is, "If everyone who SUSPECTED child abuse..."

And yes, if everyone who suspects a crime has taken place called the police, the police would never be able to do their jobs.. They'd go crazy. That's why you see Judge Judy laugh people right off their high horse.. Because they walk into court THINKING that a person had damaged their property, but there's no one there with them to verify that they actually saw the person hitting their car with a golf club.
