Title: Mandatory Reporting for every professional adult. Name: mea City: State:
The biggest leap in controlling sexaul assualt in the US came along when the Mandatory Reporting Laws came into being. It is a crime for any professional involved in the management of children to not report a suspected assulat on a minor. This means teachers, counselors, docotors nurses, day care workers, babysitters and virtually any professional who interacts with minors must report their suspicions. If they fail to do so, their licensing is suspended and they face possible charges.
