child-abuse and -neglect reporting statute

Read a random definition: bill of Middlesex

A quick definition of child-abuse and -neglect reporting statute:

A child-abuse and -neglect reporting statute is a law that says certain people, like doctors, teachers, and people who take care of kids, have to tell the police if they think a child is being hurt or treated badly. This law is in place to help protect kids and make sure they are safe. Every state in the United States has this law, and the government gives money to states that follow the rules.

A more thorough explanation:

A child-abuse and -neglect reporting statute is a law in each state that requires certain individuals, such as healthcare providers, teachers, and child-care workers, to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect. This law is in place to protect children from harm and ensure that any abuse or neglect is reported and investigated.

For example, if a teacher notices that a student has unexplained bruises or seems to be malnourished, they are required by law to report their suspicions to the appropriate authorities. Similarly, if a healthcare provider notices signs of abuse or neglect during a medical exam, they must also report it.

The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) is a federal law that provides funding to states that implement federal standards in their reporting statutes. CAPTA also defines child maltreatment broadly, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse.
