| Did you know that any professional who works with children is considered a "Mandatory Reporter"? The Minnesota Maltreatment of Minors Law - 626.556 requires all professionals to report to Social Services or Law Enforcement when "you know or have reason to believe" that a child has been abused/neglected within the past three years. An oral report must be made within 24 hours and then followed up with a written report within 72 hours. The name of the reporter is CONFIDENTIAL and may be disclosed by court order only. All reporters are granted immunity from civil liability when acting in good faith. |
