Because mandated reporters work in professional capacities in many occupations that interface with children, New Yorkers are counting on you to recognize child abuse and maltreatment/neglect, in all its forms, when you see it. Once identified, New Yorkers are counting on mandated reporters to report their suspicions to the SCR. It is critical that all mandated reporters understand their legal responsibility to report, as well as take on the professional and ethical responsibility to stop the abuse and maltreatment/neglect and end the suffering of children.
