b'Christina Bryant is about to go face-to-face with the real Jane Whaley.\\n\\xa0\\nIn my previous episode, I got to see the political side of Jane\\u2014the Jane she wanted the world to meet. Christina, on the other hand, is about to talk with the real Jane Whaley\\u2014the one everyone fears. And she got it all on tape.\\n\\nChristina Bryant went undercover inside the Word of Faith Fellowship. She\\u2019s wearing a hidden microphone. It\\u2019s been 6 years since she last step foot in the church. You see, Christina is a former member who has been excommunicated and is forbidden to contact her family. If she ever wants to ever speak with them again, she has to go through Jane Whaley first.\\n\\nThis 3-hour recording is completely engrossing. However, there are certain parts of this tape that brings up interesting legal questions regarding child abuse. Jane flat out says she\\u2019s not required by law to report sexual abuse because of pastor confidentiality. Is this true? How can this be true? Jane also claims if a child has bruising, the NC Department of Social Services doesn\\u2019t consider that abuse.\\n\\n\\nReporting Child Abuse and Neglect in North Carolina\\nI reached out to my friend Rabia Chaudry from the Undisclosed Podcast for help. She put me in touch with her co-host Colin Miller, to walk me through what Jane says and how it applies to North Carolina law. I have to say, I\\u2019m shocked.\\n\\nI also spoke with NC licensed attorney Paul Ditz. He\\u2019s one of the few attorney\\u2019s to have ever questioned Jane Whaley on the stand. He tells me that just because DSS allows minor bruising and Jane is protected by penitent privilege, doesn\\u2019t mean that she\\u2019s not responsible.\\n\\nTake a deep breath because you\\u2019re about to go inside the mind of Jane Whaley.\\xa0\\n\\n\\nSources:\\nNC Article 7 \\u2013 Competency of WitnessesReporting Child Abuse and Neglect in North CarolinaParental Discipline: When Is It Abuse and/or a Crime?A&E Documentary on the Word of Faith Fellowship titled \\u201cThe Devil Next Door\\u201d postponed\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
