What's the Point of the Texas Child Abuse Law?

The law is written so broadly that it might lead teachers to feel as though they can't even refer to the fact that they have a same sex spouse. It's not a criminal generally, criminal laws can be struck down as being unconstitutionally vague. But i think the vagueness is by design, because the law is actually intended to deter people from doing these things and cultivate a culture of shame around this. And so in that sense, it has been remarkably successful, even if it is ultimately invalidated on the texas front.
