[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 466935, member: 1233"] Heck, in MY state EVERY adult is a mandated reporter and any teen over a certain age (the age to get red cross training, I think. I do know they cover it.) who babysits, even watching a sibling counts, is also a mandated reporter. They don't mess around either. If they know that you didn't report it the judges get really really angry. I didn't really think they would but there was a hearing the day my bro got divorced (I had to be there, yuck) and a daycare worker got chewed out by the judge and fined and if there is any hint of abuse of a child in the palce she works it will be a 2nd offense and the judge said it would be up to 30 days in jail. She hadn't reported it because her boss said it was "policy" to tell the boss and let the boss report if needed. Did NOT fly with the judge AT ALL. Why not go by the dept of human services and get a flyer with the actual law on mandated reporting. Here the flyer, available in every school office, says that a teacher MUST not contact a supervisor but is responsible BY LAW and can be fined or spend time in jail for not reporting in a timely manner, regardless of what the supervisor or principal or district says. I am sure they still tell the principal first, but none of them are unaware of the law here. Maybe it is just the judges here, but boy do they get MAD over child abuse. [/QUOTE]
