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.
In addition to the identification and reporting of child abuse, it is important to consider the wide-ranging health and social consequences of ACEs. It is clear that the goal is to prevent them before they happen.
