That's interesting-- I've always been of the belief that the seal of confession is a joke and is never taken seriously.  As a non-practicing Catholic, I don't
have anything to confess, but I assumed that is just how it worked.

I just checked and California specifically makes child abuse a mandatory report, even if the reporter is a priest.  Interesting that murder is not one of the
mandatory reports.  What is a priest supposed to do if someone confesses to a murder or rape?

Encourage them to turn themselves or at least start the process. But yeah the seal is sacrosanct. It's the only privilege worth a damn outside of our attorney
client privilege.
