Now the leaders contact authorities, but they didn't then. That was the basis of many of the lawsuits against them when these types of scandals first broke. See Rob Porter situation for a public example of an abused wife told not to report it to authorities.
And thanks for your clarification. But how is it right when a wife tells her bishop that her "righteous" husband beats her, and when her husband denies it, the bishop chastises her? The man is still going to be believed unless there is overwhelming evidence against him, like he puts her in the hospital or kills her.
