pennsylvania senator bob casey is spearheading legislation to report child abuse immediately.nk you very much, senator. this scandal has upset people of all types around the country. you're trying to do something on the national level to repair the fact that so many states don't require immediate reporting. >> 18 states require all adults, not just what are called mandated reporters. if you're a nurse, a teacher, a doctor you have to report if you suspect child abuse. there are only 18 that require that all adults do that. we should have a national commitment that every adult is charged with the responsibility to report suspected child abuse to law enforcement. not just up the chain of command in an organization. it's something we are working on with the legislation that i havç introduced. part of this as well is to provide more training and education so people can recognize a problem, report it and prevent further abuse from taking place. >> senator, one of the victims, the first victim's mother was on abc on "good morning, america" this morning and explained her reaction and

bob casey by way of example is the prototype of what they're looking for. they were very strong for hillary in 2008. she got like 5% of the vote. her roots run deep in that part of the state as well. barack obama is perceived bile to be too liberal. so it is very much an area of the state that is in flux and that's why he's going there to sell the pay roll tax. >> if he is perceived to be too liberal, the same folks who thought he would be able to dig the country out of the hole that it was put in by the previous administration. let's look at the scoreboard. president obama beat john mccain by 11 points in 2008 but since then, the gop swept the 2010 mid terms, they won the governor's seat, a senate seat and five congressional districts including the 11th district where the president is going to appear there today. what do you believe the plan is? is it really to hit home that i am trying to save you money right now on congress. they're holding up legislation republicans are holding up legislation that could in the end help you, the folks who need it the mos
