Strongly disagree

No, forced disclosure could endanger children who have unsupportive or abusive families

While the PPC may acknowledge child safety in general, it typically prioritizes parental rights and opposes keeping such information from parents; it would largely disagree with the argument that non-disclosure is justified to protect students from unsupportive families.
