1. I'd feel better if they were required to report to local law enforcement.

The approach they actually took only requires reporting to church officials. And that's what led to all the cover-ups that have taken place. Mandatory reporting to civil law enforcement authorities would be the right approach, I think, but no, the Church can't allow that, see, because it would create the risk of prosecution.
