A parent often allows their child to be abused too, so they will try to protect the abuser.
Or the abuser is a close family member, and the parents refuse to take seriously any suggestion that abuse is happening, despite damning evidence, so they protect the abuser out of a sense of familial duty.
This law serves no other purpose than to protect child rapists.

It’s almost always someone the child knows, not some shadowy evil cabal.
