A mandatory reporter is somebody who has a legal duty, as outlined in the statute, to report any reasonable suspicion of abuse or neglect of a child. That can be a parent, it could be a physician, it could be a caregiver. But, if your job or title appears in the statue, it’s something that you ought to look into personally to see that if you are a mandatory reporter, you do have a duty to report any neglect or abuse to CPS, or to a police officer. If you’d like more information about a mandatory reporter, please give me an email.
