Child abuse is more prevalent than we would like to think, so the role of a mandated reporter is crucial in stopping as many instaces of child abuse as possible. A mandated reporter is required, by law, to report suspected abuse or neglect (Wilson 2013). Thus, you report when you have a suspicion; you do not need proof (Wilson 2013). You must report when you have reasonable cause to believe that a child or adolescent has been abused or neglected or is in danger of being abused (Wilson 2013).
