WEBINAR:
Protecting Children in Practice:
The Mandated Reporter and Child-on-Child Incidents
NOTE: There is a $10 fee to join this webinar.*
In 2016, a leader of a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit faced criminal charges related to endangering the welfare of children and failing to report suspected child abuse. In another part of Pennsylvania, a school board director and teacher also faced criminal charges for failure to report.
In both cases, the incidents that mandated reporters allegedly did not report to authorities involved child-on-child behavior.
Join this webinar to:
- Examine the messaging about what is child abuse and how such messaging could impact a mandated reporter's understanding of whether and when to report child-on-child incidents.
- Track this history of and current language within Pennsylvania's Child Protective Services Law (CPSL) specific to defining child abuse and who can be a perpetrator.
- Gain some understanding about the CPSL and its child-on-child exclusion provisions and how such an exclusion does or does not impact the responsibility of the mandated reporter.
- Explore some examples involving children and consider the role of the mandated reporter in such situations.
