Failure to Report or False Report

A Mandatory Reporter who is required to make a report commits an offense if the person knowingly fails to make the report; or with the intent to harm or deceive, knowingly makes a report that is false.

Report It

If in doubt, report it. Not all reports will result in a formal investigation. All reports, however, must be reviewed and responded to in accordance with the law.
