Should it be up to the Professional boards to decide or should it be law?

Do you really think the boards can protect victims better then a law?  Wow, the same boards that allow them to just surrender their licenses?  The same board that hides cases from the public because they decide to do it?  The same board that because of a therapist threats of violence they allow them to surrender instead of charging them?  Check out what the boards have said about this law and how they think they can protect the victims better then a law and then tell me it doesn't need to be law.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuX5w5FU1TE  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcpzHnFaQ8Y  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SubROV8fu6g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8g97kGpV4o
And, then you have this one:  http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/02/counselor_on_state_oversight_b.html  
Are these the people you want to make the decisions or is it time to stand up and take charge of it by making it a law?  Don't let people like this decide if a victim is really a victim.  The same people that are abusing victims could be on the boards.
